Guest room 2

Here is my 2nd guest room I've finally finished decorating. Yay!!! I'm so proud of how it turned out even though I'm a little concerned that it might be too wild for selling the house......oh well, I had fun doing it! And the walls ARE neutral. This room used to be a catch all for my leftover junk. I didn't want to get rid of the pieces so I worked with them instead.It started with my cheap white Ikea curtains with the idea of adding a splash of color to the bottom hem because I knew the curtains were not long enough. The large snowball light fixture is another purchase from Ikea. I can't believe I bought this gigantic thing. I had to laugh at myself while I was hanging it. You have to admit, it is fun!





Here's a close-up of the flower arrangement I created for the window side table.



The side table looked so boring with nothing under it so I decided to make these large storage bags to add some color, and storage underneath the table.


This will probably be my color scheme for my next sewing room so I took plastic bins that stored some of my sewing asscesories and made bags to fit them. Great storage and the white container tops help hide what's in there.


Pillows I made for the room. Sorry for the cheesy rainbow "what does this mean?" pillow in the center. That video makes me laugh everytime I watch it. The design is from www.urbanthreads.com


The framed unibicycle embroideries are one of my favorites. They are from www.emblibrary.com I did change the colors around so that there was not as much shading in the design.

Ikea Billy bookcases with fabric covered doors.


This poor lamp has been 5 different colors now. I think she shines once again in the color pink.



I already had these button frames so I reused them. Mom bought me these antique glove dryers years ago.....and I've never done anything with them . Soooooo, why not wall art! Ta-da!


That's it for now! Hope everybody had a great Easter and I especially hope everybody was safe from those horrible storms we had last night and this morning.

  1. Cute decorating re do. I wanted to tell you I enjoyed your article in Sew Beautiful! Lots of inspiration there. Thanks.

    I have a sewing question for you about your ruffle front Charlotte adaptation. I want to try that, but don't have the Charlotte pattern. I have a Bonnie Blue Madison which buttons down the back. My question: about how long should I make the back opening for a size 3. I really want to try that one button closure with the spaghetti too. You can email me at manddbrock@bellsouth.net. Thanks!

  4. I would not have thought of these colors together but they work beautifully. Great job! I realize this is an old post but I am hopeful that you will share your process for covering the doors with fabric. I want to do that to our doors but I fear messing them up. Thank you!
