The Boho in me

I wasn’t planning on changing out, or I should say fluffing the guest bedroom anytime soon.

This is the BEFORE

guest-bedroom-083

I just refreshed up the guest bedroom about a year ago.

However, the other day one of my BF’s called and asked if we were going to be in town next weekend.  She lives in Buffalo, NY and her daughter is down this way to visit a friend and my friend wants to tag along and get dropped off here for the weekend.  Well, of course I would love that, and we so happen not to have plans that weekend.

Colorful guest room changes on a small budget

So while at Wally world (Walmart) I spotted this pretty paisley comforter set.  The set was a deal.  The comforter, sheets, shams and another accessory pillow came in the bag.  Instead of spending more on a queen size, I decided to buy the full instead and simply put it over the existing white spread I have.

Sheer panels with a pillow case for valance

This here light has a bit of sentiment to it.  My husband bought it for me 19 years ago.  At the time we lived in South Florida and went down to Worth ave. for the afternoon.  It was a fancy Ave. where obviously all the Palm beach socialites hang out, you know, people that walk around looking like this.PALM BEACH SOCIALITE We of course, were just young and noisy checking out the scene.  We happened to walk by this beautiful shop and I spotted this beautiful ceramic light through the window.  I remember saying how pretty I thought it was and it would look great in our kitchen.

About a week later, my husband walked in the door with the light in hand for me.  I can never get rid of it, and to this day, I still look at it and smile. We did indeed enjoy the light hanging in our kitchen for years.

Ceramic pottery light Here is where I got a little thrifty and creative.  Instead of using the sheets on the bed ( I already have a new set on there) I decided to use the pillow cases as valances, and the flat sheet as a swag on the other small window.

Bedroom makeover with crafty thrifty ideas

You know me, I don’t care for too much matchy, matchy anyhow and I loved the way this looks.

Using a sheet to recover a chair pad

I then cut a piece of the fitted sheet and recovered this chair, and added the decorative pillow the set came with!

Fun and funky bohemian style bedroom decor

I think my BF will feel comfy and cozy!

All that freshening up for less than $50.00!

A little socially unconventional bedroom makever for under $50.00 including curtains, pillows and recovering a chair.

I’m pretty happy and the room is definitely a reflection of colors and style that I like.  It’s the BOHO in me for sure. A little socially unconventional, if you will.

This time of year the sun changes direction.  It’s a little difficult to get nice bright pics. You can tell from the first picture the clear difference in lighting.  After all these years, I still can’t figure out the right settings on my camera.

Thanks for stopping by today.  If you are new here, welcome to my site. I hope you stick around, sign up and browse around.

    Well it’s very cute and tastefully put together! I have a bit of the boho in me too. I had a boho stage last year where the whole apartment was boho. Then I eased back to the style I was more accustomed to. I’m still very attracted to this look!

    I love the idea of getting the full comforter and just layering it over the white bedspread. I know your BF will be delighted in your bright and cheerful room. Those are my favorite colors, too. Enjoy your visit. I’m sure there will be plenty of laughter 🙂

    Debbie: The room is lovely. I love colors! How did you do the bedside chest? And please explain to me what BOHO is. I see it all over the internet.

      I didn’t do that chest Rosemary. I actually purchased it like that from World Market around 5 years ago. BOHO is short for Bohemian style. Sort of eclectic, carefree, hippish in a sense. I love that style:)

    I often see the large comforter sets I like, but don’t necessarily need all the pieces. I LOVE the idea of repurposing the items. Thank you for the inspiration!

    Beautiful Debbie ! I love the colors and the style. Nice pops of color using the orange, especially in the ceramic owl and pillows. Very nice ideas using the sheets for chair seat covering and valances. I like the BOHO look. Although you said you didn’t like the lighting, everything looks fine and your photo composition is excellent. Enjoy the time with your friend.

    She will love it !!! It was lovely before, but now it’s bright and full of color (just perfect for Spring); that pop that we all need right now. That light is so very pretty.

    I am totally into Boho. In fact the young preppy girls where I used to work were always saying Boho was my style. LOL! I love your guest room. What clever ideas to use the set as you did. The colors and patterns in this set are wonderful. Love them!
