Client's Guest Bedroom

That looking at the calendar thing has backfired, big time, and I'm a little under water!  So, I thought I'd share some pictures of a room I did pre-blog for a client.  Hope you enjoy...

 I worked with the existing, impossible to describe, wall color.  

I guess I'd have to say (if you held a gun to my head) it was a brownish, grayish, putty color..

Sounds like maybe I didn't like it but really, I did!

The screen was cut from a sheet of plywood that I hinged and painted to compliment the room.

This sweet little chair belonged to the client's mother.

 I love the window treatment.  The silk fabric is a very wide stripe.  I used inverted pleats and rings and cut the wooden rods short because the window was very wide and I didn't want to see a lot of bare rod. 

  I covered the padded headboard and made the dust ruffle out of the same fabric.

I hope you enjoyed the tour!

My Mother's House

Phyllis Diller once said,

"Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling 

the walk before it stops snowing."

Well, I may be grown but all I'm trying to say is...I'm home for a visit with my mom...she has two beautiful guest rooms...this is the one I'm not allowed to stay in...

 The mattress and box spring are sort of "slip covered".  I really like the look.

 

I like how she used this china cabinet to hold "treasures" in a bedroom.

 This cute vanity was a $10 find. It's true.  My mother would not let me lie to you.

Can you imagine being the mother of a child that quotes 
Phyllis Diller? -- poor thing.
