Please help with guest bedroom layout
Comments (26)WOW mjlb - some great ideas. I've always had one vision in my head but this is a wonderful place where strangers come up with great ideas. Now I need to wrap my head around it. Why the tub/shower and not just a shower? I thought most people would prefer only a shower. This is an old house that was changed over the years. Original brick house built somewhere 1835 - 1845 (it was always listed 1825 but old maps did not show it then). Addition - where this room is located was added 1860's or so and then converted it into a 2 family in 1914 and this room into a kitchen. I think the addition was the summer kitchen and this was a servant's room. The "small" room turned into the pantry for the 2nd floor kitchen in 1914. The doorway into the main house was added when converted into a 2 family. The wall where the bed would go isn't flat but I may be able to work around it (sent DH and DS to take measurements and was surprised they weren't more exact). The window part jets out a little plus the "pillar" made of brick. Here are more pictures of the room Looking into the new guest bath Pantry built in I would like to keep but open up the top. Maybe I could put the frig on the right side where the sink will be located? I hate to remove the drawers. Should I strip the paint (sandblast?) off the brick? It's painted now but in a few places it's peeling....See Moreclean slate -- help me decorate this small guest bedroom.
Comments (5)Are you able to place the bed on the wall to the right of the entrance without impeding access to the closet? Then you would have a bit of room on the left window wall for a dresser and a small chair in the corner between those windows. You could reverse it but I'm one who prefers not having a bed directly below a window, so I suggested the other wall. The interior wall will also allow you to use a headboard at some point. If the rug stays, I would keep it at the same orientation so that when your guest gets out of bed they step on the rug....See MoreNeed paint recs for a small guest North East bedroom?
Comments (24)Unfortunately it looks like my bedding will not be here on time for me to pick a color from it dammit I've taken a couple picks but bc the room is so small its hard to photograph (smaller than 8x10,now more like 8x8 i think bc we had to take some of the room up for bathtub). My next post will have a pic of view from hallway, So technically, if I do paint that wall on the left of the window in an accent color, it can't be seen unless you step in it. I'm narrowing it down to for Philadelphia Cream on the walls I think and Cloud White Trim. I'm really leaning towards painting the ceiling Philly cream too. I really don't like white ceilings. I'm headed down to take a look at Summer Lime and Castleton Mist in an hour. Does anyone have anything else to recommend? I have serious color fatigue. Has anyone painted their ceiling philadelphia cream?...See MoreAttic Office and Guest Bedroom Layout Advice Needed
Comments (8)Without seeing a plan and knowing sizes I will hazard to say that the wall space between the two windows in the last photo is seemingly the most logical spot for the bed. This placement might now allow for nightstands as one leaf of the closet door would probably bang into a nightstand on that side. It seems to be a very large space. You might be able to accommodate a seating group between the bed and the office space alcove. The alcove where the bed is shown in the photo might lend itself to a window seat and perhaps narrow cases or shelving for books....See Moretibbrix
