Recently we had to add another sleeping area to our home. We have five bedrooms already, and hadn't anticipated needing a sixth!
Our basement isn't finished; it's only partitioned and has all the electrical hooked up. I decided to use one of the unfinished basement rooms to create an extra sleeping area.
The "Hippie Bedroom"
That's what we call it; the Hippie Bedroom. It's genuinely a hippie room, with comforters nailed to all the walls and extra furniture that gives the space a bedroom feel. We've also added a TV, Fan, and Portable Heater.
It's a funny-looking mish-mash, but it solves a problem and, believe it or not, is actually cozy.
A Warm Comforter with Matching Shams
Since the central air conditioner can make that space quite cool, even cold, I wanted a comforter that looked sleek but had warmth.
I wasn't seeking anything decorative; however, as you can see from the photo below, it's pretty.

The comforter and sham set looks like the perfect solution for a bed in a cool area. I like warmth while sleeping, even in summer, especially when visiting someone else's home where they keep the air conditioning cooler than my preferences. LOL. This Sherpa comforter set looks very cozy and soft.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful use of an area otherwise unused. Guest bedrooms are something we all need from time to time but seems like a waste the other 350 days out of the year. In your case, it seems like you need it a bit more frequently for now, but not permanently. I love what you did to make it so cozy. Like you, I am very fond of the sherpa comforters. They are warm, lovely and easy to wash. That pretty much spells perfection in home decor.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really nice Barbara. I would comment more but I think I broke my arm yesterday, so typing is difficult. Sorry, I will come back and really check it out!
ReplyDeleteI love your "hippie bedroom"! The comforter and sham set do look so warm inviting and cosy. I love soft cosy throws and blankets so I would love this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I could use that idea when my grandkids visit.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't hesitate to stay in that "hippie" guest room. Everything you do is so appealing. You have the touch! That bed set looks so cozy.
