I cannot believe that 6 weeks has already come and gone! For real! This guest bedroom was so so scary when we first started….in case you missed it, let’s take a walk down memory lane to see the before…
yep!
Now for the fun part…the part we have all been waiting for…
….the guest bedroom reveal!
This room is full of DIYs and I will be sharing all of them over the next few weeks. I wanted to be able to share them all as we went through the ORC…but my mind was scattered and I wasn’t sure exactly where this space was going to end up. Ultimately, most of the DIYs happened late in the game 🙂
Here it is….
As you enter the room you are immediately met with this gorgeous dresser that I scored at the thrift store for $50. It was little rough but I was able to bring it to life and it looks fabulous now.
To the right of the dresser is this fun DIY cactus art. I actually took this picture myself and had it blown up…love it. More on that to come soon!
These night stands are the gems of this room! I envisioned them in my mind and I was so excited when they actually came to life. These night stands are IKEA TARVA nightstand hacks….cannot say how much I love them!
The light on the nightstand is so fun. I got one for each side of the bed. I really think it pulls the space together.
One of the first things that I notice when I walk in here is how cozy my feet feel. I have never had such a plush rug before. This rug is amazing! The colors…the softness… all of it!
You may have seen on my Instagram stories a sneak peek of the DIY bed I made. This was my first bed that I built, and I can say that if I can make one so can you. It was pretty easy. And, I cannot believe that I have an amazing mid-century modern style bed for less than $75 dollars! Total score.
Continuing around the bed I made and installed some floating shelves. I got brave and headed to the local lumber yard to pick out some pretty wood. This stuff is amazing and way, WAY cheaper than what I would have paid at the home improvement store.
Below the shelves is a cart that I made last year. Since this bedroom will be our guest bedroom. I added a jar of toiletries that our guests might need as well as some towels.
Looking up you can see the new light fixture that we installed. It makes the space feel so fresh and updated. I love the brass accent.
Here is the nightstand on the left of the bed. Perfection!
Originally I was going to hang the DIY cactus art above the bed but opted to hang this throw I picked up from IKEA. Those brown pillows are DIYed as well. I picked up some cheap leather a few months ago and have been itching to use it. Love how they turned out, and the story that goes along with them is petty good too. I will be sharing more on those soon!
I built two triangle shelves to go above the night stands. I think they balance the space well.
I used some scrap wood and water colors to make this pink and purple photo holder. For now I added a couple sayings using a sharpie.
Here is one last view looking from the other side of the room.
I know that that was a lot to take in. Come back tomorrow because I will be sharing all the sources and let you know about all the DIYs to be watching out for soon.
I want to give a big shout out to our sponsors for this ORC, thank you!

That blue wall color is amazing. Your floating shelves turned out great too! I’d be one happy guest at your house!
Thanks Jess! This room has definitely come a log way. I love the end result. I thought about taking the blue all the way but it just would have been too dark. Have a great weekend!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!! I love the wall color and all the fun diy pieces!! That was so much work and you totally rocked it!!!
Thanks Caitlin! Excited it’s finally done. All the hard work paid off. I am also excited to share all the DIYs.
Girl! It’s sooooo good! I love it!
Thanks Kyla! It was a lot of work, but the finished look was worth it. Have a great weekend!
This before/ after is nuts! I love the blue and how bright it looks with the white above! Nice work!
This house was a disaster…. we still have quite a bit to go too…I loved the blue and almost went all the way up, but it would have been too dark. The half wall thing is sort of growing on me. Thanks Charlotte! Have a great weekend
YAY! It’s done! It looks amazing. I love everything. I’m so glad you decided to hang something behind the bed! That throw is just perfect! I can’t wait to see all the tutorials.
It’s done…finally! This room has been a challenge but I love how it turned out. Thanks for the idea on hanging something behind the bed. I really wanted to hang the cactus art but it just didn’t look right. Be on the lookout for all the tutorials! Have a great weekend!
shonee, this is incredible! love the wall treatment, colors, and touches of wood and gold! gorgeous, girl!
Thanks Cassie! I love all the natural elements too. I think I have become a plant lady. Every time I go to Home Depot another plant jumps into my cart…now to learn how to keep them alive 😉 have a great weekend!
Is this even the same house?! Seriously swooning right here! What a gorgeous transformation!! Congrats!!
For real! This house was a total disaster. We still have a lot to go but defiantly making progress. Thanks Jen! Have a great weekend.
Fantastic Shonee!! It looks amazing!! And your pictures are so bright and crisp and clear!! I’d love to know your secret!
Thanks Krista. It finally came together. I had the hardest time planning ahead about what I wanted it to look like. I am more of a do as I go along type of decorator. Loved your space too! have a great weekend!
I’d like to be a guest, please!!
Come on over! This time of year is perfect! HA Thanks for stopping by Heather! Have a great weekend.
Love the bohemian feel of this room. Collected always seems more cozy to me, like home. Great place for a guest. Well Done.
Thanks! I love all things cozy and this room definitely has a cozy feel to it 🙂
Oh my, all I gotta say is this room rocks! I love the bohemian vibe, I do believe the cactus picture you took is my favorite!! It looks very retro, I thought you were going to say you found it at a thrift shop or antique store :o) I also love the jar full of travel size toiletries for guests, that’s just genius!! Now can I come stay over?! ha ha!!

Your guest room looks amazing! That dresser is incredible! Thanks for linking up with Merry Monday 🙂
It’s amazing!!!!! I just love that wall hanging and the dresser is insanely incredible! Love it all Shonee.
Your before picture showed a brick wall….what did you do with that?
It is an awesome job…..
It is hard to redo a room such as yours, so you are fantastic to do it all in 6 weeks.

You’ve done such an excellent job on this guest bedroom! The space looks stylish and inviting. One thing I’d recommend is adding a medicated mattress for maximum comfort. Guests will appreciate a mattress that helps relieve aches and provides excellent support. I also love how you repurposed that thrift store dresser—it looks brand new! The floating shelves and nightstands add so much character to the room. I can’t wait to see what other DIYs you’ll share next.
