I wanted to update this guestroom a bit, but didn’t want to spend a lot of money. The brass and rod iron queen bed is about 30 plus years old, and back in the day was really cute! I still didn’t mind the style and lines of the headboard and footboard, but I knew it needed to be updated, somehow! So, I purchased a few cans of black spray paint at the local hardware store, cleaned and lightly sanded the brass a bit, and in an afternoon, had a whole new look to the bed! I changed out the comforter and dust ruffle, added a few new pillows that I was using elsewhere in my house, bought some simple “sheer” curtain panels for the window and added a few new accessories! I love the end results of my new farmhouse guestroom!

After photo. Love how it turned out! It’s a “feel good” space!

Incidentally, here is a picture of the original room when we first bought the house – it has gone thru a few transformations since this picture was taken!
