Recently I shared a sneak peek of the updated guest room which shows what the room looked like before and today I'm sharing the reveal.
Most rooms in our home evolve over time and I'm sure this one will be tweaked here and there, but for now it's finished and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.
Only a few things were purchased, most of the furnishings were already on hand.
The oil painting is of my father's early childhood home and was painted by a friend of my dads who used an old black and white photo of the farm as reference. Its new home is nestled on this chest with an old ironstone pitcher full of cotton.
The smocked window treatments are new and add an airy feel to the room.
The paint color was chosen to work with the love seat, which is old but in good condition so no reupholstering for now. There are too many other things on our to-do-list.
I love the new bedding.
Ruffles
and matelassé add a soft touch.
An old vanity top missing its mirror is being used on the wall to frame for a few antique silhouettes.
Granny's antique White sewing machine is being used as a table between two cane back chairs upholstered in crewel.
Across the room is a vanity with a hobnail vase, antique hand mirror and brush, old brass candlestick, and a teapot filled with a bridesmaid's bouquet from our daughter's wedding.
It feels so good to have this guest room finished and I love the way everything worked together.

How luvly Cindy. It looks like a room from a bygone era. Lucky guests!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this gorgeous room. I can see that we like many of the same types of things. Are you a figurine collector. I have quite a large collection of antique and vintage figurines that belonged to my mother that I will be unpacking to sell soon. Let me know if you or anyone you know might be interested.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous room. I love your stunning antiques and so beautifully accessorized too.

Cindy, what a sweet touch adding the picture of the family home! And I love the vanity! A very cozy and inviting room! Not only is it a beautiful guest room, but it would be a peaceful place to read or think! Thank you for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Love every detail, specially the sewing machine. Gorgeous room for your guest. Enjoy your weekend! Maria
ReplyDeleteSo inviting and serene. The painting of your father's home is so special. I'm fascinated with the occupied Japan figurine. My mom has always told me about that but I have never actually seen one. I is it a family piece or a fabulous find? Must be a very expensive item. Pamela
ReplyDeleteOh, Cindy, your guest room is so lovely! Everything looks so perfect and peaceful. Love the olden beauties.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,Shelia ;)
Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour guest room is lovely and serene and would be a welcome respite.........
Love your new curtains and bedding and the pretty pictures you have on each side of the bed.
Also that is so neat that you have that you have a pic of your dad's childhood home and have it
displayed so nicely. It is always such a delight to finally finish a project. I had been working
on chair cushions for my porch before our trip and need to get back to this week.
Have a great weekend, and thanks for sharing your sweet guest room.
Blessings,
Nellie

I just love your guest room, Cindy. It's elegant, but not at all stuffy. Very inviting. Your bedding is beautiful, and I love how you used the vanity's mirror frame over the headboard. A stroke of genius. :) xxx ~ Nancy P.S. Thanks for giving the paint colors. I love the wall color and was hoping you'd share the source.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Cindy your guest room looks so elegant, comfortable and inviting. I love the warm wood of all the vintage pieces. Stopping by from BNOTP.
ReplyDeleteYour room turned out just beautiful Cindy! I love how you used the old mirror frame above the bed.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely charming room, Cindy! I am so smitten with those smocked curtains and that dreamy white bed!
ReplyDeleteThe guest room is absolutely beautiful. I love the teapot with the dried flowers. Those colors would fit so well in my home. I use a lot of earth tones.

Love the room! I especially love vanity top missing mirror piece! I might have to tap into that idea! I also loved the painting of your fathers house. I would call that the most prized piece of the whole room! Have a lovely day!
