Classic Guest Bedroom Design Plan (traditional with nautral elements)

Two guest bedrooms started with semi-clean slates with intentional interim fixes, and the guest bedroom we “reserved” for Mama Nan was filled with all our previous master bedroom furnishings.Over the past four years, we’ve tackled my office, master bedroom, blue and white guest bedroom, and the white guest bedroom which is now transitioning to a nursery, but Mama Nan’s room (the most frequented guest bedroom in the house) hasn’t been touched.Don’t get me wrong, it’s a sweet little guest bedroom but in terms of functionality, well, it doesn’t have much.After waiting and waiting for the “right time”, a Pottery Barn bed sale finally prompted me to get the ball rolling.
