This is the first week I'm participating in Kelly's Tour of Homes, and I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get to show any of my other rooms that she already exhibited on her blog. (Maybe I'll sneak back here and post some pics of those rooms later!!) After all, the guest bedroom really is the most boring room of all in the house. Although we have guests (our parents, siblings and occasionally a friend that passes through), we don't pay much attention to that room, so it looks a little neglected compared to the rest of the house!
So, here it is - the Casa of the Happy Sun's guest bedroom. . .
Ok, so maybe it shouldn't be called 'The Guest Room' because our Dog thinks its her room, really. Don't come over if you don't like dogs (or dog hair, or dog toys. . . . )!! This was my Grandma's furniture, so I will never ever ever get rid of it, but although it's not my style at all, I'm getting used to it. And I LOVE the colors green and orange together (my wedding colors, too!).
We have this gorgeous ledge at the top of the room to decorate, but I'm horrible at figuring out what to put up there! So I just put a few choice items up there and hope it looks 'eclectic'.
I LOVE old, antique window frames. I don't like to fix them up at all - I love them with cracks, chipped paint and peeling. We have them in our bedroom that we have used as picture frames and I would have them all over the house if I could find enough!!! This is supposed to be hanging on the wall (not leaning on the dresser) but I am waiting for Hubs to get around to doing that. Being as I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant (check me out here) he won't let me hang or lift anything, so I'm stuck to waiting for him. And I am waiting. . . oh so patiently. . . . .
Since I am a flight attendant, I know how nice it is to have a few extras in a hotel/guest room. So I have swiped a few things from hotels here and there and keep a little stash for guests. Here are some hand towels, lotions, eye mask and linen spray and a purty-smelling candle. Just a few things to say 'Welcome to our casa!'
4 opinions you just have to share:
Gotta tell ya your house is super cute! You could show the whole thing and people would LOVE it! Espcially the cool bottles that are everywhere!!
does it come with or without the dog? Great looking roome
Very pretty and your dog is too cute! :)
Andi, I am so glad you decided to join in on the tour! I like your collection of goodies for guest to use- I have done the exact thing with free samples and travel goodies!!
