Just to prove that I am not a total hotmess when it comes to decorating my pad, I decided to post a couple of pictures of one of my favorite rooms in my home. Here is the main guest room in our house:
I have had the vintage vanity and armoire since I was a little girl, and my mom had it custom painted when I was about 8. To this day, the vanity is one of my favorite pieces. I love that the mirror has lost a lot of its silvering.
The iron bed was my great-grandmother's, and I painted it a dark olive green spray paint and distressed it with gold craft paint. It took about 30 minutes and $8.00 worth of paint.
This is one of my favorite paintings. It is by a local artist who paints on salvaged pieces of architecture. I think I paid like $40 for it, and I was drawn to it because it reminds me alot of the chapel that my mom and my stepdad got married in, followed by me and my husband.
In this area, I want to hang a collection of landscape paintings and drawings in different frames, but with the same color paint to add interest.
This is the only room in my house that stays consistently clean, and I will frequently take a book in there and relax. The room, just like every other one in my house was done on a cheap budget. Added up, I spent around $450 for everything, including accessories! Now, if I could only get motivated to tackle the other one!
