I finished the Guest Room just before Christmas.
I've seen so many beautiful white on white bedrooms out in blogland and thought I would try that look. When I got it all done, I realized that I am a colour person. I couldn't stand all that whiteness. The walls are in a pale, ethereal blue. The headboard (
which I did with rigid insulation) and the bedskirt are in blue ticking. The drapes are white linen sheers on a black iron rod. I had a white quilt on the bed, but made a new one in blue and white to punch up the the colour in the room.
I purchased these brown, wooden plaques at Home Sense and painted them white.
The little table is an antique wicker fern stand that I put a pine top on, and I had my brother router the edge on it.
I purchased these frames at Michael's and put in pictures from a calendar
It's a little more 'country' than I really intended, but I'm pretty happy with the room, and all my guests seem to like it.
hi sharon! great job! i really like the plaques you painted white and the framed calendar pictures! great idea! thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! i hope you visit again soon!
ReplyDeleteIt looks nice and cozy, just like a guest bedroom should! I agree, white on white on white is much too sterile. I really like your wooden plaques and frames.
ReplyDeleteI love your guest room it turned out so pretty and the blue quilt is the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteI also love,love your table made from the sewing machine stand and the wooden top your brother made for you!!!. A wonderful table.
It all looks so "GREAT"
Take care and enjoy your day,
Elizabeth
Such a pretty guest room. Lots of my favourite things...blue, quilts, lots of white and pine furniture. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI also love to quilt, not an expert though. I dream of more time to quilt and more money for fabric LOL
