Wednesday, October 12, 2011 I may be a little obsessed....
....with the guest room. Realize how all the photos are super dark? It's because I am taking pics at like 11pm, 1am, 3am....yep. Silly me. Well, I hope you are well lovelies! I have a bit of a progress report with the guest room. I have been working my booty off to get her finished and now I can actually see some movement, I feel good about it.
I think my favorite moment in the room has got to be this suitcases, lamp and commissioned piece of Rocket VonScience an amazing friend got Joey and I for our wedding.
This side of the room needs the most work. The art need to be properly framed and the media center turned ocassional table needs to be styled. See that lamp on the floor? We have plans for that. Last time you saw this side of the room it looked a whole lot different.
That chandy is going on the ceiling above the chair I pulled from the garden room. I think the chair will live a happier life right where it is now.
I horde etsy art. And when Renegade Craft Fair comes to town, I get a little shop happy. I was so excited to find a place to put some of the pieces. The mirror was from Target, on sale for $15! I painted with yellow spray paint. Love.
I kinda messed up the floors with primer, spray paint, glaze, and regular paint. I need to sort this out pronto so I can lay the rug down. So where did I get everything and what's next? Glad you asked...
Where I shopped for the guest room:
Bedding:
- Duvet, Shams, and Large Pillow; Anthropologie on sale in NYC!
- Throw Blanket: Karma Living on Gilt
Fabric:
- Curtains and Closet Cover from Fabric.com
Closets:
- Built by Joey, Stained by Lana
Accessories:
- Lamp: Lamps Plus is LA!, Wish they had one in NY, it was a beast to get back!
- Suitcases: Vintage, I got a long time ago - one at Trailer Park in Brooklyn and the other I forgot.
- Art: Etsy.com, Renegade Craft Fair, For Like Ever; I got here, gifts
- Media Center: West Elm, like 5 years ago. I painted it lighter with the glaze mixture I made up.
- Bottles: Found; then painted with spray chalkboard paint
- Mirror: From target on sale for $15 then spray painted with Rust-o-eum Yellow
- Blue Garden Chair: Trailer Park in Park Slope, NY
What's Left:
- Clean the paint off the floor!/Throw down rug
- Hang Lamp
- Sew one more set of curtains
- Find and install fan
- Style media center/frame/hang art
I would also like to report that the cabinets in the kitchen Joey is working on look awesome!! He started hanging them up and the next step is to install the counter tops and put up the backsplash! We may just get everything on our 30 day list checked off!

Wow, Lana you did an amazing job! I love the suitcase table...but that dog print, LOVE! Are you sleeping at all?
So funny! I have the same Target mirror, and I spray painted it too. The original blackish, brownish, redish finish was really blech. I ended up going with glossy white, but now I wish I had been more bold!
@linda not really sleeping! i love the painting of rocket too! he's mighty handsome.
@brita i very much wanted to do white and put it in the master bedroom - then changed my mind when i saw a can of yellow spray paint. totally worth the bold!
