Revisit the Guest Room

When we recently received our king size bed back from my step son, it allowed me to place our queen size suite in the guest room.  The layout of the room does not allow me to have the furniture arranged exactly like I would prefer, but having matching pieces is rather nice.  I like to know that guests are comfortable.




This is the view coming in the doorway.



This quilt was purchased several years ago at Wal Mart for only 24 dollars.  I love the shabby chic look of it.



The dresser sits on the long wall in the room, but in an alcove which has a french door leading to the screened porch.



The TV is stored in a large armoire.  Note the Mickey Mouse radio. It belonged to my stepson when he was a small boy.  I placed it in here because of the aqua color, since that is the main color in this room.


The chair is a consignment shop find for ten dollars, several years ago.
I'm happy with the way the room turned out.  The closet has plenty of room, and the dresser drawers are mostly clear, so there is enough room for our guests to unpack and relax.

I'll be linking to Wow Us Wednesday.

  5. Hi, visiting from Savvy Southern Style. What an absolutely beautiful bed -- those posters are to die for! And I really love the shape, color and size of your thrifty purchased side chair too. It fits the space perfectly. Guess I'm a bit of a glitz/glam girl, I was very attracted to the sheen and soft rich pastel color and pattern (is it a damask pattern?) on your bedspread and shams! I am curious. I see from your photographs that you have (at least) two windows, one each on two walls, plus the door you mentioned on a third wall that opens to the screened porch, but looks like your guest(s) cannot use it because of the position of the long dresser/mirror combo that appears to be blocking it(?), plus the entry door and a closet on the fourth wall. Yep, not much wall space. I'm wondering how you would arrange the furniture if you had your druthers. Would you remove a piece of the bedroom suite to free up some room? As a guest in such a room, I would absolutely be gaga about the idea of having access from my own private space (the guest room) to the screened porch if the French (already got me on "French") door were accessible. Anyway, happy to have visited, I'm adding you to my favorites list so I can visit again without hunting all over for your blog!

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
