home tour: basement guest suite

I was determined to still have a little wiggle room in our house after the baby because we have so many visitors come and I didn't want to always be displacing someone. I also wanted visitors to have access to their own bathroom and entry as well. Enter: the basement project. We finished off 2 bedrooms and a bathroom (about a third of our total unfinished space). Another thing I love about having this done is that we know have a set amount of bedrooms. Even if we finish the rest of the basement, we wont be adding any more bedrooms so now we know exactly what we have to grow with.
The main portion of the renovation was this "guest suite." It is a sitting room, bedroom, and walk-in closet. It will be great for visitors now and we think eventually great for a teenage shared room and hangout space. The barn door can slide to completely close off both rooms. We re-used many things and added in a few new and overall we are very happy with the outcome!

Details:: bedroom: bedroom set as been painted white, but furniture and bedding were existing. Wood lamp was from my grandparents and matching lamp shades are from TJ Maxx. sitting room: love seat = Down East, bench ottomans =  repurposed stools (painted and added cushioned top), emerald dresser = KSL find that we painted, a few accessories have been added, otherwise everything was existing and reused.
