From sauna to bedroom

For as long as we've lived here, we've had this one room downstairs that has had the wonderful name "the torture room". At this point, we're not really sure who came up with it (myth has it that it could be the brother-in-law, but who knows, really?) I at least thought the room had more of a sauna-feel to it than guest bedroom.

Since we're expecting a few guests this summer, and since it will look nicer to give the room a purpose, we decided to make it into a bedroom. It will be nicer for guests that are not couples to not share double beds, and it will be easier to sell it if there are some furniture in it if it comes to that.

The only things we actually bought for this project are the mattresses, all the rest is scraps and pieces that we have saved from around the house, so that considered, I think we have lifted the room considerably.

So here are a few pictures of the bedroom make-over.

Before:

Yep, all plain wood panel. Sauna-feeling rated 8/10. 

As we are working: 

Hanging the dreadful curtains back up. (At least until we know what we want to replace with)

And result: 

As you can see, there are still a few things to be wanted before this is a really great bedroom, but we have a much nicer light to put in, and with some colours on blankets, rugs and pictures on the wall, this room now has quite some potential.
