House tour: Upstairs part 1

I'm posting the 2 rooms that are completely finished so far.  C's room and the guest room won't really have much more done to them.  We might paint C's room, but have no immediate plans/ideas.  The guest room will also function as my craft room, so I have to work on getting stuff from my basement up there and organized in drawers and the closet.  I'm so unmotivated to do this right now. 

As you can see, it looks pretty similar to the way it's always looked.  I got new curtains b/c I didn't have any to fit the big window that matched as we've never had a double window in the guest room before.  Even though we've had the black and white going in the guest room for 5 years, I still like it.  I would love to paint the walls a bright color (once upon a time we paired it with blue) to offset all the black.

I don't like having the head of the bed at the doorway, but there's not really another option b/c of the narrowness of the room combined with the window/closet placement.

This will be my sewing area

This house has crazy closets.  This is in the spare room.  It's a bit of a catchall.  My dresses are in there, Scott's biking stuff/hiking stuff, sewing machine, our ironing/steamer stuff, our table linens, and some upstairs cleaning stuff. My craft stuff will join the hodge podge eventually b/c it's no where near full.

Here's C's closet--huge again.

C's room is way too big for a second bedroom.

these 3 canvases are a new addition

the trash can, too

once again, it's pretty much a slight variation of what it's always been

i think we need blinds for his room.  it's hard to get it dark enough, and I don't really want blackout curtains.

 

His favorite part of his new room is the red rug. He picked it out.  It's a super soft, shag style rug.  He calls it red snow. He loves to read down there. We pull out his baby quilts I have displayed in the corner and a fuzzy pillow he picked out when he wants a pallet there.  He has two smaller kids-style rugs on the other side of his bed.  This is more so he can get in and out of bed w/o falling.  His stool slipped continuously on the hard floor.  I'm not crazy about all the hard floors upstairs b/c it's really loud w/the dogs' nails and the doors were hung when there was originally carpet, so there are large gaps between the doors and floors.

I will take pics of the office once Scott gets it picked up.  I swear that man could live in a pig stye.  I can't stand stuff sitting all over the floor, but not him.  It's all stuff that I think relates to work, so I don't know where to put it away.  Honestly he needs a bigger desk, but we're making do with what we had already.
