Bright + Clean Guestroom with Cozy Sitting Area

I am loving this recent guest room makeover I designed and am really ready to move right in! I always love when there is space in a bedroom for a cozy seating area, and this one situated around the beautiful curved window is just perfect! We kept it light and neutral in here because this room will see a ton of different guests and I wanted it to be cozy and comfortable for everyone. We painted all the walls “Pure White” by Sherwin Williams to give the room a bright and clean backdrop. We also added a modern and chic ceiling fan where there was a small light fixture before. I especially love the mix of cozy textures and layers in this space- from the bedding, to the rug, linen slipcovered chairs, and pillows!

Minimal Spa-Like Master Bedroom Makeover

Here’s a sneak peek of a project I am currently finishing up. This super minimal and chic master bedroom makeover is giving me all the spa-like vibes! This client knew exactly what she wanted, which made my job super easy. I have never done such a simple, minimal design before but I really loved the process. One of the biggest challenges for the space was choosing the right white paint color that would coordinate with the existing trim color which was a little darker beige. Before all the walls in this house were a very pale yellow (very 90’s- check out the before photos below) and we are slowly changing them room by room. Keeping the trim color as-is is a huge money saver in the long run, especially since the actual paint was still in good condition.

Anthropologie Look for Less Bedroom

Today I’m sharing this recent guest bedroom makeover that I completed for a client this past week! We started with basically nothing except a plain bed and transformed the space into a cozy and layered bedroom that any guest would love to stay in. I think everyone covets that high-end and super cozy Anthropologie look especially in a bedroom, but not so much the price tag. I was able to copy the look for a quarter of the price using bedding and accessories from Target. Their new Opalhouse line in particular has a ton of Anthropologie inspired pieces. We also added these gorgeous nightstands and headboard from Wayfair which really anchor the room.
