It took me a whole year, but I finally got back into decorating spaces again. This guest room has been unfinished for a year since we moved Elle into the other room. It was time to finish nesting.

I had a different bed in here, but moved it downstairs when we divided furniture. I wanted another room for guests to sleep in, so I got this bed from Lamps Plus. Though I am a modern girl, I thought this bed was super cool. I was really impressed that they even carried bed frames.

I already had the BEST linen bedding from Garnet Hill. It has soft pink ticking stripes, so it really set the tone for what was coming next.

The wall was already painted black, and I had already experimented with pink and black for Elle's room. I knew I liked it, but when I saw this rug from Garnet Hill I knew this was the direction I wanted to go. It's STUNNING! I LOOOOOOOVE it. I have never loved a rug more. The quality is amazing.

Everything fell into place from there. I used a brass lamp I already had from Living Spaces, and wool stools from my bedroom. I also found the perfect spot for my great, great aunt's steamer trunks from the 1800s.

All in all, I could not be happier to have another beautiful room complete in my home. Now bring on the guests!

With temperatures already in the 90s this spring and reaching 115 in the summer, you can bet that heavy duvets or comforters on our beds (well, unless, we want to spend a fortune on air conditioning) aren't the best idea. Until recently, that's the only bedding we had for our guest room, so I decided it was time to freshen up this cozy room with some spring colors, light weight sheets and a coverlet.

Duvets are really comfortable, but sometimes they can look a bit messy. I love this light-weight, heather gray coverlet from Lacoste because it creates clean, modern lines for the guest room. It's also machine washable and easy to put on a bed, which is a huge selling point for a busy mama like me.

White sheets are all I buy, but the sheets we previously had on this bed were inexpensive and a bit thick. Lacoste has great quality bedding, and these were much lighter than the others. So, hopefully, our guests will feel much more comfortable now.

I brightened up the space using some Millennial pink pillows and a mud-cloth bolster pillow I previously had on the bed. Less in more to create an light and airy quality, so I removed the throw as well. I added some floral branches to the vases, and called it a day.

Changing textiles is a really easy, inexpensive way to transform your spaces for different seasons. I highly recommend checking out Lacoste for any of your home needs.
