Only now it’s not the guest room, it’s my son’s room. My fifteen-year-old son is coming to live with us and go to school here. Having him in the big city was not the best environment, so we talked him into coming out here and giving small town a try. He’ll be here at least a year, I’m hoping he’ll be here through high school.
So anyway… here is what I started with:

And this is what we have now (complete with cat approval):

What a difference! I really like the room. Even the mats/frames on the pictures match the walls, and that was completely unintentional. I still need to do a few more things, like refinish the bed frame and get a proper nightstand, but it’s looking very cozy. The cats love it, I haven’t been able to get Shiva off the bed since I set it up.
Oh, in case you’re wondering about Alley Cat’s back, we had to shave her mats off. She was VERY grumpy, and she feels a lot better now.
