While waiting for my husband’s help to finish the picture frame wainscoting in the dining room, I’ve been tweaking a few things in the guest bedroom.
I made new pillows for the bed.
The floral print fabric was the reason behind this little tweaking make-over. I loved it and wanted to find a way to incorporate it somewhere in my home. It happened to be the perfect shade of blue for the guest room.
I rediscovered some thrift store, auction and yard sale items to tweak the mantel.
A little over a year ago when I redesigned this guest room, most of the furnishings I placed in the room were either free or purchases from yard sales, thrift stores or auctions.
The mantel and bedside dresser was a purchase at an auction. I paid $1 for the mantel and $2 for the bedside dresser.
The china cabinet and the chair in the corner were both freebies! The china cabinet is used to house a TV.
The chandelier was a $15 purchase from the Habitat for Humanity.
Isn’t it amazing what a little TLC and paint will do.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.
Gail
