Guest Bedroom Inspiration and S&D Giveaway still open!

    The Mr. and I bought our house the summer of 2009.  The first time we saw the house we were in looove.  Neighborhood kids were riding bikes, people were watering their lawn, the oversized trees were perfectly grown all the way down the street...you get the idea....   It reminded me of a movie!  We knew this was our house!  Since that time we have picked one room at a time to "make into our own".  The list is never ending but we have crossed off many of the "to do's".  (Does the list ever end?)
   We are now starting on one of the guest bedrooms that is upstairs.  I have found a few pictures for inspiration.  They look "hotel style"....but I love the comfy crisp beds.  So think simple, relaxing, and elegant.

We have a desk and mirror like this already.

I would love to find a chair like this to make a sitting area.

Obviously this room is extremely large...but I can see myself flopping on that bed for a nap!

I like the touch of color in the pillows and with the throw blankie.

Simple and to the point.

   When an idea gets in my brain..it's stuck there!  I couldn't wait to get up this morning and hit up a few stores to find the perfect comforter/lamps/decor.  I will take before pictures of the room and continue to update you as we "perfect" the guest bedroom!
