Plans for My Guest Room

I've almost finished my son's skateboarding room, so it's time to really start planning my guest room makeover. I'm not really sure I would call it a makeover though. I'm keeping most of the bones of what's there and just adding and editing. The first thing I need to do is make an upholstered headboard for the Cal King bed. I bought white denim a while back for this project so all I need now is the batting, foam, and plywood base. I found some good tutorials online detailing how to make the headboard. A few of them include this one from Craftyland, this one from Living the Swell Life, and this one (with video) from Design Sponge. Thrifty Decor Chick has a good headboard tutorial/post here where she uses egg crate foam (much cheaper than foam from a craft store).

I like the color scheme in the guest room of white, green, and yellow. I've bought some green trellis fabric to make pillow shams for the bed. I also would like to get a new, white duvet or quilt for the bed. I have a cheap full length wall mirror in the garage that I am planning on revamping and hanging behind the door since the guest room is currently sans mirror. Hopefully, now that I have put this out into blogland, I will get in gear and get this room completed (or at least started).

I have a post almost complete (just waiting to get some good pictures in there) about the skateboarding room and will have that up shortly.
