My guest room makes me happy. Before we bought a new house, I decided that I wanted a gray and yellow guest room. I have gradually been finding, creating, reusing fun "treasures" for our room. I have found a ton of things on sale (the floral quilt is from Big Lots for $30).
Now bring on the guests...
I was able to use my fabulous suitcases as a night stand again. I found the lamp and shade at Target, I just glued a gigantic broach on the shade to make it a little more shabby chic. The headboard was one I bought at an auction for $15. It was a yucky, brown faux painted piece, so I just covered it with black spray paint. It came with a footboard too, but I do not think I am going to use it.
We had an extra TV, so we decided to put it in the guest room, per my Dad's request :) The wrought iron piece above the TV was a pale green color until I got a hold of it. I had a ton of frames from our Austin house, so I found some yellow/gray scrapbook paper to put in them for a touch of color and "art". I bought the hope chest at an antique store for REALLY cheap! The old student desk was a gift from my parents when I started teaching MANY years ago :)
I had the vintage scale and lantern...they are just now in a new place. I found these awesome yellow rugs with matching towels at Target (my second home).
This shower curtain was in the clearance section at Target too. I had the wrought iron towel holder in the Austin house upstairs bathroom. It helps tie in the yellow with the gray.
My "Gate of Fame". This is a gate I found somewhere in a field in Texas :) I am using it to post pictures of our guests when they visit. Nana and Pop Pop were the first to make it on our Gate of Fame. Clothespins painted black with tiny flowers glued to them are the picture holders.
I love this scale...I added a basket to the top of it and a bunch of rolled wash clothes. Adds color, a little shabbiness, and makes me happy!!
