Guest Bedroom Makeover Reveal

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to show off this bedroom makeover. It was one of the first rooms we completed at the lake house, and I've shared bits and pieces of it over the past couple years, but have never showed it off in its entirety. I think it's because I like the room, but I don't LOOOVE the room. I have been waiting for some 'ah-ha' moment to really complete the room. Well that didn't happen, but instead I had a 'I have a whole new look for the room' revelation. I'm telling you, you never know when these thoughts are going to happen, but you have to cease the moment when they strike. For me, I was in the middle of a spin class and it was like a wave of inspiration came over me and I was suddenly enlightened with how this room should look. Spoiler alert, it involves wallpaper and a lot of blue and white. Big surprise there, huh?! So, before I go and tear up this whole room, I figured I better document how it looks in its current state.
Here is how the room started when we bought the house. This room is in the new wing of the house, so the upgrades were pretty cosmetic.
Here is the scope of work:
Given the shape of the room, a daybed was the best option. We found this pullout daybed from Ikea and I really can't speak highly enough of it. Let's start with the basics. Even while consuming a bottle of wine, Kyle and I were successfully able to assemble this bed. Let's be honest, any day when you conquer the battle of assembling a piece of Ikea furniture with no extra parts left over is a good day. For just a short while after that you really feel like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting. Complete genius. On top of that, the bed pulls out and expands to a full size bed comfortably sleeping two people. AND, on top of that, it provides three drawers for storage. Perfect of extra pillows and bed linens. All around win.
I topped off the bed with an assortment of pillows.
