Guest Room Pictures



Kelly at Kelly's Korner is hosting Show Us Where You Live Friday. This week guest rooms are being featured. Go over to Kelly's blog and check out the guest rooms. You won't be disappointed.

Here are some pictures of our guest room. The one below shows the bedroom from the hall entryway. The bed is an antique iron bed painted white.

In the corner of the room you see an antique wash stand complete with an antique bowl and pitcher and white hand towels. All around the guest room you'll be able to see family pictures. The rocking chair you see was my grandmother's and we've painted it white.

In the picture below you see a small chest which my daddy made for me when I was born. I know it was a labor of love and it's dear to my heart.

In the next picture, you will see one of my baby dresses which I had framed. My grandmother made it for me and my aunt embroidered it. Another aunt gave me the gold bar pins that I've framed in with the dress but you might not be able to see them in the picture.

Here's just another view of the bed (just realized the mirror looked crooked in the picture so I went to check. It's not really----I must have been holding the camera crooked). The quilt on the foot of the bed is not an old one but a very dear friend just quilted it for me a year or so ago and I love it! What a treasure.


Hope you've enjoyed my version of Show Us Where You Live Friday-Guest Room hosted by Kelly!

  2. I love the antiques. My husband says if I collect antiques, they will be relegated to a guest room so you better believe it is going to be antiqued out!

  13. I love the bed and the picture of the left of your phone. I'm not a huge fan of red, but I think this is red done right. I also love the mirror above the bed!
