It has a headboard and dresser left from my brother. Paintings from my Nana, BB, and my parents.
The rocking chair was Matt's Grandfathers, the trunk was my Grandmothers, etc. IE, most of the room is made up of family pieces with the new touches being the paint color and curtains. Even the comforter set was mine from a few years ago!
While the room is certainly serviceable and has hosted many a guest thus far, it's not thrilling me. It doesn't click or look cohesive in my opinion. Thus, I have started a hunt for inspiration to see what will click with me and create a lovely and restful guestroom (hopefully something that will go with the newly painted guest bathroom! Which also needs a touch of inspiration, but that's for another day.).....

And this is what I came across that really hit me!
The soft greys and crisp white linens look so inviting! I did a little research and this is a picture of one of the bedrooms used for the movie "The Holiday". The transformation won't be that dramatic as we already have light colored carpet and bed linens (current comforter could even go in a white cover). Walls can always be re-painted in a jiffy, so the biggest part of this project will be the grey curtains, headboard, nightstands and lamps. The last two pieces I was already on the hunt for anyway!
Feel free to let me know your thoughts, ideas, etc!
