Guest Rooms You Won't Want to Leave!

Our spare bedroom has been on my mind lately since warm weather is on its way and tends to bring visitors with it! I'm excited to be hosting since we have a home and space to do it now. Here is some guest room eye candy that I might not want to leave if I got the chance to stay:

Don't fill a guest room up with too much furniture unless it's furniture they can use to spread their stuff out on.  A chair or bench is nice to have.  Floor space or a luggage rack gives them a place to keep luggage.  You don't want them putting luggage on the bed.

Using two twin beds means you can accommodate couples or non-couples.

Most of us probably don't have space like the home above, so tighter quarters can make the most of square footage by utilizing a daybed that looks and functions as a sofa, but also as a bed for visitors.

I think a guest bedroom is a great place to try an accent color, wallpaper, or other design trend that you're nervous to use in the rest of the house.  Since you aren't necessarily in your guest room everyday, it isn't an element you'll have to live with constantly if it proves to be too much.

Generally in my book, futons are a no-no, but this one is looking pretty chic.

A new favorite in my house tour collection...

This Ohio farmhouse is chock full of second hand, vintage, and antique furnishings and accessories, which simply make it really fun to tour. More than the house though, I love the grounds...

I love this shot...so peaceful

I adore this birdcage as decor, but I'm not really a fan of caging birds...

They scored the four poster bed on ebay.

This chicken coup used to be a cupola.

A shed is used as guest quarters.  I would probably use this as a painting studio though....

The sink is an old soapstone basin.

what do you think of the house and grounds?

A hodge podge of homes!

I'm doing a little spring cleaning of my inspirational folders. Here are some images that for some reason or other didn't make it on any of the posts, but are lovely all the same! *If some of these are repeats I do apologize!





I like this apartment featured on Apartment Therapy. It is orderly and neat, but it has a nice human touch - something we could all replicate in our own homes.
