We did two mini-makeovers yesterday as part of our recent Guest Room Giveaway contest. As you may know, these one-hour makeovers are basically styling sessions, where we come in and finesse a space using the homeowners’ existing furnishings and accessories. It’s a great way to create a finished look without spending a lot of money.
Kimberly F.’s guest bedroom is in transition from kiddo bedroom to guest bedroom, so we focused our attention in her living room–specifically, her built-in bookshelves. This is one of those often neglected areas that can really make a difference to the overall decor once it’s styled. Take a look at the before and after:

With the bookshelves styled, this previously overlooked wall becomes a feature in the living room.
From there, we met up with Rob B. and his wife Anna. We focused on their guest bedroom–guest suite, actually. Rob and Anna have a separate guest apartment off the garage, complete with bathroom and kitchenette. The apartment gets some use from their kiddos as well, so it’s truly a mulit-functional space. One hour of styling for several zones is a tight squeeze, but we managed to pull off some nice touches and created some opportunities to showcase their young daughter’s artwork–a fun, free decorating resource!

With so much square footage to cover, we literally flew into a frenzy, but for the most part it all came down to a matter of artfully arranging everything that was already in the space. This is a great example of how one short hour may be all you need to create a more welcoming environment for your guests at the holidays!
