When my parents came down last month we had only moved into the house about 10 days before. The mattress I bought for them arrived late in the afternoon before their flight came in and I hadn't even had time to buy sheets let alone a base for the bed.
So they slept on the mattress...on the floor.
It was fine, we went and grabbed some new bamboo sheets on the way home and a quilt cover that was on sale. It wasn't the "guest room" experience I was hoping for my very first guests but it was what it was.
That was over a month ago and finally we have a very basic resemblance of a guest room. I dropped in at Sheridan DFO and they were having a big sale. I bought the quilt cover, 2 pillow cases and the European pillow cases all on sale. The sales assistant was so sweet and signed me up to their VIP club, which gave me an extra 10% and because it was my birthday they gave me another $20 off, so all up it was like $90 for all that. Awesome.
The bed base was from a friend who was throwing it out. It's perfectly fine and will do for now, saves me a few hundred dollars for the moment and I just need to find a valance for it.
It's still missing bedside tables, lamps and some artwork, but is now at least basic amenities for any guests.
Now I just need some more guests...
No need for a valance, fitted sheets works perfectly!!

Miss Kirty!! What would I do without you?? Thank you!! xx
DeleteLove the bedsheets! And don’t worry about guests sleeping on the floor. I think they’d understand, given that you were just starting to fill out your home. For me, as long as there’s a comfy mattress between them and the floor, it should be fine.
ReplyDeleteYep the mattress was fine and the guest bedroom has been added to A LOT since I posted this. In fact my Mum has already been back twice so all is forgiven. Will do another post on how it looks soon. xx
DeleteI agree with Dante. Your guests can suit themselves in the guest room even though your bed isn't that big. The floor is one of the best venues for sleepovers, especially when you've laid comfortable mattresses. Well, I think you can ask your friends to bring their bed with them if they don't want to experience sleeping on the floor. Hehe! Kidding aside, I'm sure you'll improve this bed after few months. :)
