Guest Room Progress

The guest room, turned office, is being turned back to a guest room again.

I want this room to feel warm and cozy, so I'm adding colonial farmhouse style furnishings and accessories.  There's been a lot of progress since I shared the Guest Room Sneak Peek with you;
the cupboard is finished and a few new finds have been added too!

This cupboard was in my shop for a long time.
I didn't mind the paint dappled down the edges back then but I wanted to clean her up a bit.

Here is the before,
with lots of paint here and there.

Here she is now; clean and shiny.

I love the details on this piece.
She's old and worn with some ornate moldings to make her pretty.

Leaving a little of the white paint dappled across the top,

I finished the cupboard with a good cleaning and polishing.

Then the fun part,

filling the shelves with a few of my favorite things.

On the top shelf are an ironstone sugar dish and a picture of my great-grandfather, Big Daddy, the littlest fella on the right.

My Big Daddy built the home depicted in the painting that rests on the top of the cupboard;
my father's childhood home place.

You know me, I love birds!  On this shelf there is a sweet little bird dish and a Robin too.

A piece of antique wood molding.

Pretty plates and hydrangea.

I love the South!
For years I have admired the artwork of Gaye Sanders Fisher.
She is a native of Charlotte, NC and has an art gallery in Charleston, SC.

I was thrilled to find three of her Flower Ladies watercolors and have added them to the guest room, hanging them just to the left of the cupboard.

After seeing this walnut drop front desk with filigree shelf at a consignment shop I decided to keep my eye on it and if she was still there when the lowest price was reached I would bring her home...here she is!

I thought this would be great piece for the guest room.  It has several drawers for clothing and offers work space should guests bring their computer while visiting.  I really like the filigree shelf space for displaying a few pretties.

This corner is finished!

I've been working on a few other projects for this room that I'll be sharing soon.
What projects are you working on?
