Case in point - this was our guest room for the past few months...

Uh, something missing?

So after our new bed purchase in our bedroom, we moved our old bed into the guest room. Actually the mattress people did all the moving. I just did all the laundry.

Of course we need lamps, a nice little area rug. Oh, and I also have plans to make a little black and white gallery wall over the vanity. The vanity FYI, is a piece from Nanny's bedroom set. The chair needs to be covered. Both chairs actually. So lots more projects to come. Etc, forever and ever.

Also, because everyone loves a before picture:
