We've been in our new house for 2 months... I know you'd like to believe we've gotten everything unpacked, settled and arranged. Well, you just keep on thinking that! The truth is, we've pretty much come to a Stand.Still on unpacking. However, last weekend our friends Bob & Rach (newly engaged!) came to visit and I couldn't stand not having a guest room (or bed). Seriously, there's no excuses when you've got 4 bedrooms and no kids. Don't you see this gave me a great excuse to get a new bed for our master bedroom? So, we splurged on a new king bed for ourselves and moved our queen to the guest room, and alas, we had a guest room in the making! I added a few touches with things I had bought over the last few months for cheap and voila!
The details: lamp from an antique store, a framed pencil sketch of our dog that my sister did one year for me for Christmas (LOVE), old tin star, books and magazines to make guests feel welcome.
THE $200 lamp.
We don't have an actual window in there! However, I found this awesome old window at an antique store, I added a bit of jazz with a wreath and shells and I think it works nice. I also framed a nice coral print I had laying around.
Here's the sink. I got a sweet compliment from my friend about my goody basket here - it's got soaps, shampoo, lotions, shout wipes, toothpaste - all the essentials! And all the things I tend to forget even though I travel for a living - I still forget this kind of stuff half the time! I also have a framed engagement picture and beach picture from our honeymoon, and a jar of shells from our honeymoon - hey, it's cheap decoration ;-)
Now that I've shown you my guest rooms, who is going to come visit me next? I love visitors! :)
