My husband and I just passed our first anniversary in our new home and our now hosting our first house guests - my parents. This is exciting, since now we have a somewhat guest room for them to use. However, up until this point, our "guestroom" was the repository for all the furniture we didn't have a place for and probably needed to get rid of.
So, with our guests soon to arrive, we needed to transform our guest room into someplace they would want to stay - but we also didn't want to spend a whole lot of money.
First step - a cheap bureau. I found this white 6 drawer bureau at Big Lots for $99. We had to put it together (ugh), but it came with a choice of drawer pulls. I like how we used the crystal pulls on the top row and the plainer pulls on the bottom drawers.
Next, I added a vintage scarf to cover the top of the bureau. I bought the little mirror for $5, then painted the frame silver, changing it from the original brown color. The middle painting I bought on clearance from HomeGoods, and I already had the blue matted painting in my collection. It's not showroom perfect, but it will do :)
I then found a nice storage basket for the guest bathroom.
This basket was just the right size to fit on our bathroom vanity. I filled it with hand towels and toiletries for my parents stay. I added some little packages of ear plugs and bath items from hotels we had visited. I hope I have everything they might need.
What do you think? Will it do?
