You can find that post <a href="http://www.dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/our-guest-bedroom.html">here</a> with some before and after shots as well as a full source list. When I was playing around adding some accessories to the room I first tried out some pops of red. I tried three different pillows from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/savvywmbg?ref=ts&fref=ts">Savvy</a> and a red throw we already had.<br /><br />First I tried this joy pillow. It's funny, I  originally thought it might be a bit too "old ladyish" but I have to say I ended up loving it. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfcqUFi83w8ZDvuv0zYtXUGhKYAL33e-esfY5zVZBBal1pBgd4UAuPc2Re5h7YP45hGrnM_hh-98MYuqgtkS1l7u1NM8i0xZBNnoocOVcVW3OQKBRvqaMduMOAVNmc2_CCsduhDKz_p4/s1600/nJuly_4910.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I wish I had taken some more but at least this is better than nothing. I think my mom did a beautiful job in all the rooms, but my favorite was in the guest bedroom.

Little Bits of Christmas from Moose Mountain

While Jon was out on the road recruiting last week the girls and I went to New Hampshire for a few days. It was a relatively quick trip with...

We made over <a href="http://www.dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/lillie-and-lolas-new-room-not-quite.html">Lillie and Lola's room</a> shortly after we moved in so they would be comfortable but other than that we didn't do anything upstairs for the first couple of months. Once I finished painting the hallway and stairs downstairs though I continued on with the staircase and moved right on up to the hallway upstairs. That's been done for a while now. I'm just waiting on replacing the light fixture and then I will attempt to photograph it. (There's zero natural light in the upstairs hallway so the pictures probably won't be that great but in real life it's so nice having all the old wallpaper down and the trim painted white and to have the walls freshly painted). After we finished up the hallway it was time to attack one of the three remaining bedrooms. We've had family from both sides just about every week since September so I decided to start with the room that most of them stayed in so that they would start feeling a little more welcome! The room was a tad depressing to start with. =)  <br /><br />This technically isn't a true "before" shot as this was after the wallpaper was removed. I can't find any good before shots that really show the wallpaper that well though. But other than the fact that this was after the wallpaper was removed this was how the room looked for the first several months we lived here. And the room is definitely not finished but we are finally far enough along to take some progress shots! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheil6tESeYAr_V4CCDavZ1TGy1XyxLwgtDtYdrjK-HDxVhgAaZASIvMTta6blqQgPEKOoB_TeDJKUYSZcXWO8MZa4FrKyWRwN1wde5tpMeiexGNjUJiNmj0YzsNIG98o9b4OjhhDXftGA/s1600/ofoBeforeAFter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheil6tESeYAr_V4CCDavZ1TGy1XyxLwgtDtYdrjK-HDxVhgAaZASIvMTta6blqQgPEKOoB_TeDJKUYSZcXWO8MZa4FrKyWRwN1wde5tpMeiexGNjUJiNmj0YzsNIG98o9b4OjhhDXftGA/s1600/ofoBeforeAFter.jpg" /></a></div><br />The first thing we did was prime and paint the trim. Our friend <a href="http://www.tribeathletics.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=25100&ATCLID=205180625">Kyla</a> came over one night to take a break from studying and helped me prime the trimwork and the next day Lillie helped me prime the walls. Then once that was done I got it all painted. I painted the trim first and then  I painted the walls but it just wasn't the look I was hoping for so I ended up having the beadboard wallpaper we used downstairs in the dining room and entryway put up on all four walls to add a little character and to help hide how not so attractive the walls were underneath. <br /><br />We already had the full-sized mattress and box spring from Lola's nursery in our last house but we didn't have a proper bed frame. I fell in love with <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/aberdeen-metal-canopy-bed/?pkey=cbeds-headboards&cm_src=beds-headboards||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-">this bed</a> from Pottery Barn but it was hard to justify spending that much (well over $1700 when you included shipping) for a guest bedroom so I kept on hunting. I found a few other beds I loved that were a little bit cheaper than that one but still pretty pricey. Then I found <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Lauren-Full-Metal-Canopy-Bed/6728646/product.html">this bed</a> on Overstock for about $249 including shipping and decided it was worth a try seeing how the price was so great. I was a little nervous because the reviews said it was hard to put together and I have to say it was a pain to get together but I was able to do it with four little helpers (all who were kids) so it even though it was time consuming it probably would have been a good bit easier with two adults. We already had the coverlet, throws and pillows but I did go ahead and get a new bedskirt and some new white shams. We used the same curtain rods and drapery panels that we have used throughout the house. At some point down the road I'd like to add some drapery panels that have a bit more interest and move these to one of the other bedrooms but for now they are fine. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4iBkNUNBrxjIPWgyDRFuoei2OfuC6JmKz7n6cWEvfmeBBlkbMHWmzdrHI24J54RFGrPimWNKAuUg00gzb_Z_ZTMTyfAXdjw5cSJRrfutKUdv59YBNLD8yrkn8yapPqnpJBEdjfX7J1eQ/s1600/OOFbeforeafterhall1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="457" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4iBkNUNBrxjIPWgyDRFuoei2OfuC6JmKz7n6cWEvfmeBBlkbMHWmzdrHI24J54RFGrPimWNKAuUg00gzb_Z_ZTMTyfAXdjw5cSJRrfutKUdv59YBNLD8yrkn8yapPqnpJBEdjfX7J1eQ/s640/OOFbeforeafterhall1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">All the other furniture in here were things we already owned (the mirrored dresser and both nightstands). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUgrmIvzGB_GsH6OqZtQ7mrq2mT_l9zHKN27Bbpbw1zHSFhIh77PVPoWhRWN4gcD6uiO_cGkUPacvbyFUUTl-aOraR0jPQ_bO-PKi9YLEJILVsCdHkwr7_vXI-U9WdpyQiueJuqw2kxM0/s1600/OFbeforeafterhall1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUgrmIvzGB_GsH6OqZtQ7mrq2mT_l9zHKN27Bbpbw1zHSFhIh77PVPoWhRWN4gcD6uiO_cGkUPacvbyFUUTl-aOraR0jPQ_bO-PKi9YLEJILVsCdHkwr7_vXI-U9WdpyQiueJuqw2kxM0/s640/OFbeforeafterhall1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">You can find this <a href="http://www.dearlillie.com/product/his-name-shall-be-called-24x36-chalkboard-download">chalkboard download in our shop here. </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSgVS2OAo04mfLYMdU0aNwxavHn5JTsZi2Ct75t3DgU_6gzK64AGS4gOlZOZ-7WDL2CgIDxpRi3b1fvOMzD86B3HSksdc2-ailpxU2Wlq8qCaxxaDyo0LWqAzYhtRxQRVS_2NfSCT4MKI/s1600/mJuly_5172.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSgVS2OAo04mfLYMdU0aNwxavHn5JTsZi2Ct75t3DgU_6gzK64AGS4gOlZOZ-7WDL2CgIDxpRi3b1fvOMzD86B3HSksdc2-ailpxU2Wlq8qCaxxaDyo0LWqAzYhtRxQRVS_2NfSCT4MKI/s640/mJuly_5172.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">The boxwood wreath and amaryllis are both from <a href="http://www.savvyinwilliamsburg.com/">Savvy</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP9CrGZvbjRKnGNC7kHZdkxDlNS_7tThtRGpRhv3jNGaGOzeav0cYz0W0N02EEjYZp4IChB9_GuDrFBocANPfOzCZC3UhZ2pRgQ1q7-zyGn6OlOR3Wvpp6jORRSBwr99Mqoja0tzHu1JE/s1600/nJuly_4945.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP9CrGZvbjRKnGNC7kHZdkxDlNS_7tThtRGpRhv3jNGaGOzeav0cYz0W0N02EEjYZp4IChB9_GuDrFBocANPfOzCZC3UhZ2pRgQ1q7-zyGn6OlOR3Wvpp6jORRSBwr99Mqoja0tzHu1JE/s640/nJuly_4945.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJFgKVLUBXo-RIBuIFW_y5qebvooKa4cQb3YZLJFZe0kO9xCifaDB7Y8Kmcyhtxmhb8OyrfvxsrFzGRvPmkr8-JlAXUgCvx0_S90XnhtKOx38j6oVfecum_GIGCPwtWdyJdJmMOVm7c2Q/s1600/nJuly_5166.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJFgKVLUBXo-RIBuIFW_y5qebvooKa4cQb3YZLJFZe0kO9xCifaDB7Y8Kmcyhtxmhb8OyrfvxsrFzGRvPmkr8-JlAXUgCvx0_S90XnhtKOx38j6oVfecum_GIGCPwtWdyJdJmMOVm7c2Q/s640/nJuly_5166.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">These were my ice skates when I was little.

I am torn between going fun and graphic with <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-moroccan-trellis/white/200HJHK06E-76096.html">this one</a> or being safe and going with a simple sisal or jute rug. I haven't decided for sure yet, but I am leaning towards going with the safe option that way I can switch up colors and patterns with pillows and accessories in here seasonally. I also am probably going to switch up the side tables a bit. That's just what I had around the house that we weren't using and they are fine for now but I will probably at least paint them or possibly switch one or both of them out. I also plan on putting a desk and probably a wingback chair on the wall that you don't see in any of these pictures (the one opposite the bed). <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
