Guest rooms
Upstairs, the gray carpet came out and oak went in, so the floors run unbroken from the front door to the back bedrooms.

The guest rooms are simple on purpose: black ceiling fans, Roman shades, a good bed, and the same dark doors as the rest of the house. The downstairs guest room has fluted nightstands with marble tops and a woven hanging over the bed.
What we did
- Carpet replaced with oak upstairs
- Interior doors painted dark
- Black ceiling fans
- Roman shades

The empty corner room gained an upholstered bed, a wall-mounted TV, framed art and roman shades, and the white flush-mount ceiling fan became a black three-blade fan. Shown at its own size: the 2025 photograph is small.
