Guest Bedroom Redo


This bedroom is a small bedroom that needed help!

Wanted to create a warm and comfortable room for guests~

 Ready for the bare room?

Besides bare....it's teeny tiny! 

I call that cozy! 

 White blank walls...

 Added mirror on this wall

Love the lace look...can see the palms outdoors.

Decided to add this piece
Small painting on an easel
Antique bowl with silk roses 
Lamp from Restoration Hardware

 
 This piece of art was made by my mom, she framed a beautiful piece of silk fabric and I just treasure it!
I may try it for another guest room, will have hit the fabric store.

 
 Love the charm of this beautiful bowl, it was a gift given to us by my Mom and Dad on our 
20th anniversary.
The added roses give it a romantic look, I think!


 I have had this little painting for years and I don't remember where I got it~ I mean years!

 Decided to add some prints to the wall next to the mirror.
 Bought the prints at Tuesday Morning.

 Added these prints next to the window
 
 May get two more...needs it, I think.

Love the lace... softens the room a bit...

 Laura Ashley Bedding-

 Have always liked this pattern.

I'm crazy about ruffled edged sheets.

I'm still thinking about what I want up above the bed.

Am thinking maybe a pretty swag of flowers tied with pretty ribbon...
What do you all think?

Work in progress!

Joining my sweet friend, Kim for...


Have a great week!!

Our Star!

Okay, you know that feeling of being so excited, proud, happy that you can hardly stand it?

That is how I felt when our little star stepped on stage! 

Our little sweetheart danced her heart out and stole the show!
(Nana thinks so!)
 
Of course, no camera's while on stage...
Photo shoot for the program!
Showcase Dances were
Shake Your Feathers and Talk About It~

Right after she came off stage!
  
 Little sis was so proud!

Oh my, our daughter, her mom was beside herself with pride!
She said that when she heard her song cue up, her chest could have burst.
She was so excited, proud, nervous... got tears in her eyes watching her come out.
Me too!!!

 Proud Nana!!!

Did you see my buttons fly off?

Oh the joy of seeing a granddaughter dance on stage...

The best!
Sniff-Sniff


Have a wonderful day!
