Ahhhh...Just finished completing the guest room. The house was basically move in ready around early March and I just now got around to finishing the spare room! Time gets away from ya, I swear! This is what we were dealin' with before a paint job was done, pink and purple walls! Rut row?
After we painted this room Tightrope (Olympic paint from Lowe's), it sat there collecting junk -- tools, school books, eventually winter coats once it FINALLY warmed up and the like.
We definitely lucked out with this room. I still have a sleeper sofa that we somehow...magically...got into the house and into the spare room. I ended up spending around $120 to spruce up the room. The money was mainly spent on lighting (needed a lamp!), bedding for our guests, and a few little pieces to give the room some personality.

There ya have it! We finally have a space for our friends to crash, a place to unwind and relax and eventually a mini office when someone isn't enjoying our Cadillac of sofa sleepers :)
