Guest Bedroom Update

My guest bed before the update

My guest bedroom (the rose room) had been unchanged for many years, and it was time for an update. It has had a kind of country feel, and has always been decorated with a rose theme. It started with a comforter set that included a stripped comforter, a quilt, a blue checked skirt, and I used matching shams hung with blue checked ribbon for the headboard.

This was the original comforter striped on top, and the back was the checkered pattern.

We are using a striped chair in the room, and I use the matching pillows on the bed. After many years I replaced the comforter with a solid red comforter and used the folded quilt across the bottom half of the bed.

My bedroom chair has all the colors of the new comforter.

I decided that I wanted to go a bit bolder this time, and found a bright flowered comforter at Stein Mart. I also bought matching shams to change the headboard. I bought a solid red blanket to lay across the bed. I kept the checked bed skirt and ribbon for the shams.

This is the new comforter with the flowered top and checked backside.

The new comforter has the reds, blues and gold in it so it also matches the chair perfectly.  I really love the new look and it all came for a price tag under $100. Awesome!
