Pretty Pink Guest RoomOver the weekend we had house guests. My step-brother, Guy and his wife, Alice stayed with us on Saturday and Sunday nights. Larry and I have been racing to clear out, clean and spruce-up our "guest room." Usually, this room is the room where we stow all of our junk in order to clear other rooms in the house. Eventually, this room will be a sewing and yarn room for me, in addition to the guest room.
I decided to have the room painted a soft pink color. We still need to paint the trim white, but I think the pink gives the room a lovely glow, even though it may be a bit girly. Remember these pillows? They look fantastic paired with our serapes used as bedspreads and a few afghans thrown on each bed.
There is a lot of re-organizing and shelf-building to be accomplished before this room will serve as a sewing and yarn room, but we're finally on our way!
Thanks, Guy and Alice for giving us the push we needed. Also, thanks for being such great houseguests. We had a wonderful weekend.
Gee like the Nelsons , the Cleavers or the Ricardos:
ReplyDeleteseparate beds for married folk in your guest room!!!!! With a night stand in between! i guess the Mertz's would approve.
That really came out Cute :) Great Job.
ReplyDeleteOnly separate beds for married folks who don't appreciate the intimacy of doubling up, lol.
ReplyDeleteEllen, I think this is fabulous. I really like the wall color, and I'm not even a big fan of pink. I'm assuming this means you're keeping both afghans (you should).
Love it to bits.
It's gorgeous!! Of course, I love all the colors. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteLove the look from the pink walls to the fab-ghans and the serapes. It looks festive and homey at the same time.
ReplyDeleteLove love love the way the room turned out! Can't wait to see it in person....

Ellen!! It's fabulous! I would stay here! You could open a B and B now. The babette absolutely needed pink walls. Well done. I hope your guests had a nice stay. Lori
ReplyDeleteLove the Babette & the pillows with the serapes. Brilliant! It looks like the perfect Crafting B&B room.
ReplyDeleteThe pink works, it's not all Barbie Girl-ish at all.
Very nice...granny squares are the building blocks of home design!
