A good ol' fashioned guest room.

I am blessed to have extra room in the basement of our house. My husband and father in law finished it a few years ago and it's been so nice! I love having guests and I want them to feel at home and comfortable in their surroundings. I finished decorating it a while ago and finally got around to posting it! 

Since it's in a basement, I wanted it to feel very bright and cheery. So I chose yellow for the walls and ceiling. I wanted it to have a cozy cottage feel and felt like a quilt would be a really nice touch. I found this quilt and pillow set at Walmart for $20. Score! I already had the other items and I made the decorative pillow from extra material. 

I picked up this vintage dresser when I was 16. Yes, I have loved furniture and design forever. Lol. It's great for company who is staying for a long period of time so they don't have to live out of a suitcase. It's also nice as an additional space for company to get ready with the mirror. 

It's also nice to have a little message board with important info- like wifi password! 

I was using my phone, so the lighting is kinda funky. This is a dollar store project. Baskets nailed to a wall. Seriously anyone can accomplish this! I didn't really have a budget for this room ( as is the case with most of my decorating) so this worked out great. Simple, cute, and cheap. My three favorite things. 

The artwork above the bed is my husband's grandfather's hymnal from his pulpit when he was a Pastor in Michigan.

The room is pretty small so night stands would just make it too crowded. I will probably end up doing some small shelving mounted on the wall like in my master bedroom. 

Hope this inspired you to set up your guest space! 

Thanks!
