Guest Bedroom Reveal

It’s finished!  After moving my sewing area, I was finally able to turn our extra bedroom into something that I love.  I just put the finishing touches in place earlier today.  Sorry for the quality of my pics.  It was very cloudy today.

I love this vintage bed!  It is on wheels and is a little higher so there’s plenty of storage room underneath.  And best of all……it was FREE!

That’s an old architectural piece above.  It came from my Mother’s.  I just found the little oil painted landscape this week at a thrift store.  $3.00!

My not so impressive collection of cream colored vintage purses.  All three of them!  I won’t pay over about $6.00 so it may take awhile to collect more.  The lamp and shade….thrift store.  I recovered the shade and painted the brass bottom on the lamp.  The mannequin was one of my splurges.  I have so much fun with all of my “girls.”

All I had to do to this lamp shade was add the little flower.  I used a floor lamp that I already had.

I made the slipcover to use on an old vintage chair that I had.  The basket holds what few vintage linens that I own.

Almost the entire wall to the left of the bed is glass.  It is VERY expensive to cover!  What started out as “make do,” I now actually love.  Shabby Chic sheets from Target, cream colored drapes in the middle.  The valance is actually an old vintage piece of fabric that I found last year for $5.00.   I added the ruffle.  Everything is clipped on at the top.  For added privacy, I strung super cheapo sheers from Wal-Mart on a wire and hung them behind my make do drapes.

The valance wasn’t quite long enough, so I hid the shortage with vintage baby clothing and such.

Going on around the room, this is my corner unit.  It’s actually a computer desk.  The bottom opens and it has a fold out shelf for the keyboard.  Those bowls…….what can I say, I needed a place for cat food that Molly couldn’t reach. 

On the wall opposite the bed is my vintage bench that I shared with everyone awhile back.

Boy, that wall looks plain doesn’t it?  I guess I won’t hang anything there unless I just happen to find something I can’t live without. 

And finally, the wall to the right of the bed.

So that’s it.  My little slice of whimsy!  If I find something or maybe create something a little quirky and silly……this is the room where it finds a home.  

Sorry about the quality of the pictures.  I did the best that I could in Photo Shop.  I just need a new camera.  Which I could probably afford if I would stop redecorating.  :)  Oh well…..

Have a beautiful and happy Easter!
