The blue in this cottage room (from BHG's "Cottage Style Today" feature) is very similar to the blue we used in our basement guest bedroom. We have added a few more rustic touches in keeping with our love of farms and western elements, but I think the feel is similar. Well, it will be when we replace the grey wall to wall carpeting!
I have enjoyed some recent posts from a few of my favourite blogs about pampering your guests with personalized trays of hygiene items they may have forgotten. We are fortunate to have a whole guest suite in our basement (that we originally made as a suite for my parents.) It is still a work in progress as we take out the kitchen and update the flooring, but for now we have the luxury of a large bedroom, full bathroom, tv room and exercise area for us to spread out or for guests to enjoy. It is a real luxury having a bathroom with all the little necessities our guests may need during their stay.
It does have a great shower, but unfortunately not this awesome tub or light from the window! I so love the beautiful beadboard.
Our sitting/t.v. area in the guest suite is not as roomy or bright as this great space. But I do have some of the feel with signs, unique pieces and and homemade touches like quilts and pillows. When we get around to replacing the flooring I will be sure to post pics of our basement guest space. For now, we and our guests will continue to enjoy it, with a few tweaks here and there of course!All images:BHG
