When Maggie emailed me pictures of her guest room, I first noticed how many patterns and styles she mixed in this small space and how well they all worked together to give the room a really collected—and still serene–feel.
I always love to see how rooms evolve over time depending on the homeowners’ needs and tastes. Here’s a look back at how this beautiful room came to be.
The space started as a cramped home office. . . .
And, was eventually transformed to a traditional guest bedroom. . . .
The updated space today:
(This antique Suzani was an anniversary gift from her husband.)
I spy the small Edland chests from IKEA. The size of these are perfect for tight spaces.

The room looks relaxing! Nice work..

The color on the walls is so soothing. She’s done a great job transforming that room. What a wonderful way to welcome guests in to your home! My poor guest room needs some help – stat!
Love that suzani! Pretty space!
It looks beautiful. Love the plates hanging on the wall.
What a fun room! Love to see pattern mixing done well…
Beautiful! I love that antique Suzani!! I have a couple Edland pieces in my home too – I’m a fan!
What a great evolution for that space! Love the new color of the wall and the plate installation.
A gorgeous mix!! I love the sleekness of the lamps with the patterns in the plates and suzani, the graphic fabulous pillows!

I love how this space has transformed! She did a great job mixing patterns and design styles!
That headboard and ottoman are my favorite! What a great space. :)
I’ve always been afraid to mix too many patterns, but it’s nice to see that it can turn out so beautifully. I guess I’ll have to be a bit more adventurous with pattern.
Maggie is one of my best friends, and her house evolves all the time! She is truly talented!
I love Maggie’s blog- So glad you featured her!
what a beautiful guest room! My 2 guest rooms are sadly neglected since moving into this house 7 months ago. This gives me the motivation to finish them up =)
This looks great…what a punch that headboard and pillows give!
