monday refresh: guest bedroom

The empty beige guest bedroom in my townhome rental begged for some sophistication. I had only a bed (which I re-upholstered here), and therefore needed furnishings and decor, but with very (and I mean VERY) little budget!

A little sustainable DIY design was in order...

EMPTY and SAD

REFRESHED and REFINED

I found two unfinished side tables on Kijijji for $20 and painted them black and then cut leftover wallpaper to go under the glass tops that came with them.  



I then painted over an old yard sale picture for home made "art" in coordinating colours. 


Curtains re-purposed from my previous home added some luxury.


Now it can be called a proper guest room. Calling all friends to come for a visit!

Love how you upcycled the side tables, and your artwork is amazing! Looks like you're settling into your new home nicely - looking forward to seeing more :-)
