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!

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale. ...

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...
