Guest Bedroom Updated

Today I wanted to show our guest room.  This room is small...but adequate.  Again we painted the ceiling and walls....added molding and new carpet.


I have had the Home Interiors picture for YEARS....


Our old harp table....and one of my favorite lamps.  The old sterioscope was a gift from my friends Candy and Amy.  As you can see we don't have handles on our doors yet!  But we will before you all come to stay...I promise!




The shelf over the window....


I got these precious baby outfits at an auction. The hangers were mine when I was a baby.


My stack of Hat Boxes....and our antique armoire.  The frame was my mom's years ago.


I just started popping in things in my old tool box...gloves, my grandma's glasses...the pin cushion that Marty - A Stroll Thru Life made me, and the Testament from my wedding.


I had just enough room for my old ironing board....the hanging sachet is from Rebecca at Gathering Thoughts....and you can see a corner of the pillow I made for the Bloggerette Sorority.


 The corner shelf belonged to my mom....and the spoons we one of the last gifts she gave me...


Looking out the plantation shutters at our bistro set....


I am very happy the way the room turned out.  I had my doubts....I had to put the bed closer to the wall than I prefer...but my husband wanted us to be able to keep the antique armoire.

At the foot of the bed...the wall is entirely a closet.  We put shelves in half of it for all my dishes and my husband uses the other half.

Thank you for your sweet comment and recent visit On Crooked Creek! Stop by again soon...change is constant!

  49. Hi, Ceekay. Stopping by from your comment over at Cranky Puppy. I love it! I would definitely love to stay in that room. My favorites are the repurposed old tool box and the antique armoire. And I was positively swooning over those teapots in the corner. I may have to start my own old teapot collection now!

  50. I'm ready to come and stay in this beautiful and welcoming room....
    I got lots of ideas just looking through your pictures.....my SIL gave me a pair of black high top shoes that were my daughter's just this week and I have one of her little lace dresses...plus there's Mama's ironing board...all of these could go into my guest room.
    Thanks Ceekay for the wonderful inspiration.
