We have a really nice spare bedroom in our home. It has three windows together that face our backyard. We have some nice large trees in the back which gives it a park-like feel. The room is very bright and airy, especially when the windows are open.
The furniture is not new and I really could not afford any, but I did a few inexpensive things to give the room an update.
I moved a small white desk to the bedroom from my basement, and placed it in front of the windows. Actually a perfect spot for a desk because of the light.
I purchased an inexpensive chair at T.J. Maxx for $59 for the desk, and added at few things I had to pull it all together.
As you can see I added some boxwood greenery, that you can find at Target, a small clock, a photo of my sweet son, and I purchased a basket tray at Michael’s Crafts using a 50% off coupon, which made the basket only $7.50. I found the bright green basket trash can at Home Goods.
I really love the basket tray, it actually matched the chair, and I used it as a catch-all for so many things I may use at the desk.
Love it! Don’t you????
I made the little jar with the green polka dot knob out of an old candle jar, I will share how in a later post.
I thought about a small lamp, but haven’t found one I really like for the right price. I will keep looking!
I placed a toss pillow in the chair to tie the desk area to the rest of the room.
You will notice that I used a white quilt on the bed as I talked about in my post last week, June 4th.
By using the white quilt I can always change the room colors at little cost. I purchased the bright colorful pillows and bed pieces at Home Goods some time back in the sale aisle.
I think my inexpensive update turned out nice.
Simple and I’m loving it!
Ready for some guests to stop by and spend the night!
Love the turquoise lamps in this example above!
