Remember back in the dayβ¦.I told you here and here about our guest bedroom we were creating in the basement? It has been done for awhileβ¦.but I havenβt had a great opportunity to photograph the room. It is a bit of a tight spaceβ¦and the lighting is less than idealβ¦and I am not sure I love the lampsβ¦but what I think to myself isβ¦It may not be exactly how I want it yetβ¦but I can still share it with you:) So here is the bed that I usedβ¦and updated it a bitβ¦
Here is what it looked like beforeβ¦.not bad at allβ¦but I wanted to make it a bit more special.
My friend Kim gave us this bed when she moved. It was a perfect size for this space (a queen)β¦and it was in great shapeβ¦.
I ended up giving it a fresh coat of white paint. Then I thought it would be fun to add a bit of personality with fabric. I had this fabric sitting around. I found it on sale awhile backβ¦not knowing what to use it forβ¦but it was $5 for 2 yards (normally about $45 a yard)β¦so I scooped it up.
I sprayed some tacky glue spray on the panels and covered them with 2 layers of batting to soften the head board. Looking backβ¦I would have done 3 layers so that I evened out the panels betterβ¦.but it still looks good.
Then I cut some fabric to cover the battingβ¦stapled that on all the way around. Be sure to match you head and foot board with similar βpatternβ to each other.
I finished off the edges with some white trim (just hot glued on)β¦.ta da! A brand new bedβ¦
I shared with you a few weeks back this ceiling light that I updated for this spaceβ¦.love itβ¦
More soon on how this space came togetherβ¦until then here are Some other Guest Room Post

Super cute bedroom. Basements are so hard. We have had ours done for months but I haven’t photographed it because the lighting is just so darn hard.
Love that painting above the bed!
That tutorial is coming soon:) Thanks friend!
Wow! I’m crazy for the fabric. What a buy. The bed looks fantastic. You did a wonderful job. A great guest room.
This looks so great! I’m also working on my guest bedroom and it’s definitely a process. I bet your guests are happy to stay in such a wonderful room. The fabric addition makes that bed so unique!
Yes…it is a big improvement from the air bed:)
WOW! You before and after pictures are so stunning!
I love how it all turned out! Great basement!!! ~Christy
