Guestroom Reveal

Well, I think the guestroom is done. Yep, stick a fork in it, done. Oh, wait a minute am I ever done? Maybe for a while. What started the changes in here was wanting to change the color of the armoire to red and to use the red checked curtains that use to be in the breakfast room. Then the  domino effect took place. Warning there are lots of pictures like I usually do. I have one reader who thinks I show too many pics because I want to make sure you get all the details. Well, yes, that would be so. I love blogs with lots of pretty pics myself. Besides painting the armoire and bed you will notice that I removed the nightstand and moved the trunk from the other side of the bed. Then the side the trunk was formerly on has been replaced with my grey round table that use to be in the sun room. Did you get all that? Good.

You can see the way the room looked last time I showed it here.

I had to hem the red checked curtains. They were way too long. I don't really sew. I have a sewing machine, but it doesn't like me and the thread comes out all the time so I used Stitch Witch hem tape.

This was in our utility room not being used.

The steamer trunk was purchased in the seventies for $55. Most I see these days are so pricey.

I love having the trunk be easily seen now.

New striped pillowcases from the Land of Nod. It is actually a children's bedroom site, but these work perfectly in this room. I love finding things on children's sites.

I had this navy blue lamp in storage and decided to use it in here on the round table that was in the sun room.

For those who have not seen this before this was Mr. Savvy's Navy shirt that we framed.

Vintage suitcases found thrifting while out of town sit atop the newly painted armoire. The top one is navy blue.

Vintage wool swimsuit purchased a couple of years ago on ebay and then I framed it. One of these days I need to get non glare glass.

Pottery Barn vintage red ticking linen bed skirt purchased from ebay.

Here is the new light fixture that replaced the boob light that I posted about here.

Did you guess the guestroom?

I already had all the accessories and just switched things around.

Now with the bed painted white the room is so much brighter feeling. If I ever want to remove the nautical items I can just change up the accessories and bedding and have a cottage look. hmmmm.

Have a super week!
