The Guest Suite

We are blessed to regularly welcome guests into our home. This guest suite was a part of a renovation and addition that we did 6 years ago. Here is a quick before and after exterior image of the back of our home that shows the addition:

The majority of our extended family lives out-of-state, and this is the epicenter of grandchildren. Fieldstone Hill sees its fair share of overnight visitors. So we are particularly thankful for our first floor guest suite that connects to our first floor bath.

Curtains, art and other details are much needed, but considering guest rooms can be the red-headed stepchildren of everyone’s homes, I share this unfinished space with joy. Won’t you come in?

This tiny room is made to feel larger by the ceiling height. We plan for ceiling to floor curtains, art on either side of the window below, and bedside wall-mount lighting {a great solution for tiny rooms}. A well-loved feature of this room? The MASSIVE family collection of legos are in those bins under the bed:

Below, you can see how the room connects to the bathroom for a comfortable stay:

The attached bathroom is also our first floor bathroom, hence the pocket door into the guest room and the regular door into our living room hall. The sink was crafted out of an antique piece of furniture that we had converted. The floor is mosaic slate:

Storage is limited in an old house, so when we added this bath, I had them squeak in the slender and tall closet/storage next to the shower:

One final and fun detail. The view below is seen from the bed in the guest room. This shot shows the fun variations in ceiling height in the room. See that fun little trap door? That leads to our boys’ room! We have a drop down wooden and rope ladder that leads from their room to this guest room! Definitely a favorite addition:

Thank you for touring the guest suite with us! If I waited until it was all finished, it would be a while before I could invite you in, so I am so glad you came over – flaws and all.

On the future wish list for our guest room:

curtains

art

wall-mount bedside lighting

a tall, narrow dresser or wardrobe
