Guest Bedroom Curtains

We really haven't done much to our guest room since we moved it.  It hadn't changed since we showed it to you two years ago here.  It had become a catchall for the bikes, Jason's school stuff, and most recently, his beer brewing equipment.

However, a few weeks ago I saw some curtains at World Market that I really liked.  I thought they were a bit expensive so I didn't buy them.   I just waited.  Sure enough, last week they went on sale 20%.  Plus, I got an extra 15% off for being a World Market Explorer.  Score.  I bought them, the curtain rod, and the two throw pillows you see below.

I also ditched the rug since Radar had peed on it one to many times and moved the bed to the corner since I was tired of seeing only the bikes every time I opened the door.  I really like how much it opened up the room.

New curtains, corner bed, sans rug.

A little closer.

Cozy little corner, isn't it?

Yesterday Jason and I tried to hang floating shelves on the wall opposite the bed.  We failed.  Big time.  As in broken shelves, broken new vases and picture frames, beat up drywall and scratched wood floors.  :(  Oh well, lesson learned.  Next time use drywall augers. 

I wasn't a huge fan of the shelves anyways.  They looked better in my head.  I think we might eventually try to make our own out of wood and metal brackets.
