Over the summer we swapped our son's bedroom with our guest room/home office space. While we got my son's room in order immediately we basically plopped a bed in the corner of the new guest room and called it a day.
Nothing was done with the mammoth pile of fabric remnants, gift wrap, office supplies, picture frames, etc... that lined the wall opposite the above image.
This is where we started!
With the holiday season commencing next week I needed the room cleared out to turn it into a gift wrapping/gift stashing spot during the upcoming weeks. I started by updating and repurposing a consignment store vanity as a spot for hiding tape, gift tags and scissors.

After
With the red stripes primed and painted over, prints from Etsy seller Catherine Nolin and artist Fiona Collins help brighten the neutral walls.
My gift wrap, ribbons and bows are tucked away in a nearby closet for easy access. There is plenty of floor space for spreading out for marathon gift wrapping sessions. I've already started my Christmas shopping and look forward to turning on some Christmas tunes and wrapping up a storm.
It's always nice to wrap up a project. (Pun intended!)
Have a great weekend!!!
Love it in white!
ReplyDeleteKaren, Wow! Your guest room turned out great...fresh, fun and welcoming. Love your colors. Happy Friday.
ReplyDeleteVery fresh! Love the rug and pillows. Nice color!
ReplyDeleteLove the way it turned out! The bright artwork is beautiful, and I'm always amazed by what a white can of paint can do. Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun and happy space!! i love how painting that little table white really brought out the details! before it was painted, i didn't even see the neat detailing on the drawer! such a great space. i LOVE the art!!
ReplyDeleteI warn you Karen, your guests will never want to leave that room. It's so warm and inviting. I love all the bright pops of colour and the great artwork AND the new (old) desk. You're amazing girl!
ReplyDeleteKaren, this is great looking....so fresh and crisp and happy. Very elegant..well done!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a happy spot like yours to wrap presents!
ReplyDeleteI love that rug! It will be a great spot to do all of your wrapping it.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't happen to be a trundle bed does it? I'm trying to find a twin size bed that will fit a pop up trundle with thicker mattresses. I'm having a hard time.
Nice Karen! That vanity makes the perfect gift wrapping organizing center. And I LOVE Christmas music - can't wait to turn it on too. Going over to check out those Etsy sellers. Hope you're having a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cheerful room! Great place for wrapping - sure beat the kitchen table! And Christmas music while wrapping is a must - I was checking out Michael Buble's new xmas CD on itunes the other day - I think I'll be buying a few tunes. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine a more cheerful, relaxing, and fun spot to retreat to when it comes time to wrapping holiday gifts. I'm sure that your guests will enjoy it too!
ReplyDeleteThat little table is adorable! And the room is so happy with all the patterns and colors.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you chose, so uplifting and happy.
