So, not too long ago my girly step-beauty moved out, for the second time, but this time more permanent. *Sniff-sniff* The kids are growing up, becoming their own. Heck yeah, baby! Play time for me and the hubster :) Okay, back to the point of this post.
Little by little, I'm fixing up the 'spare room' (how I beam to have this princess suite the "spare room"), because I love decorating, and I want a comfy pretty place for visitors. It is tucked far from the noisy part of the house, so they have all the quiet comforts of privacy as well.
Because we have company coming from California next week, I had to scurry to get some things done. I have this wicker laundry basket, do guests really use laundry baskets? I guess it depends how long they stay. If it's someone I don't want staying too long, I can remove that, right? Haha, just kidding!
The lid to the basket was fraying apart, as wicker would. For a quick fix, I used some random ribbon to wrap around and clean it up. See, all is well.
Here is the somewhat boring corner, where it stands.
Hey, it works for a nice temporary fix. I think I should paint the wicker, white. Your thoughts?
The lamp on the dresser is a navy blue to match the paisley duvet cover.
I'm starting with paisley, love paisley. Navy blue with tans and whites. I think a guest room should be suited for male or female visitors. Here is where I'm starting. You can see the mirror on the wall, above the bed. Flower stickers. They were really cute. The bathroom had flowers too. I want it to be more of a 'guest' feel. Contemporary accessories to complete the contemporary vanity.
Can't wait to finish this gust room project.
This is a peek at what I'm doing for a wall. I've framed some wrapping paper. I'll be adding some burlap and stencil fun! Stay tuned!
