The Guest Room Is All Grown Up!

I'm very fortunate to have a dedicated guest room in my little house. It doesn't get much use, but it sure is nice to know it's there when I need it. 

It's also the home of the Big Green Monster. 

Well, remember I told you all about Country Curtains going-out-of-business sale? 

I think I was one of their best customers during the sale, I took advantage, that's for sure!

I decided it was time to update the window coverings in the guest room before all the good inventory was gone. 

I actually  loved the little polka dotted sheers that were in the guest room, they made me smile. But they offered no privacy for my guests, that's for sure. That wasn't much of a problem in the summer months when the leaves are on the trees, but in the winter my house can be seen from the road. 

So, I placed an order for a lovely set of drapes. And I waited....and waited....and waited. I finally reached out to customer service at Country Curtains and unfortunately they were not available. 

Oh boy, ok, back to the website to see what else I could find. 

I kept being drawn in by this one particular pattern....and finally I decided to pull the trigger and say a prayer it wasn't back-ordered or discontinued. 

So, I settled in and waited....and waited....and waited. I kept checking my account online and the order said pending....oh no. What now?

Just when I was about to get in touch with them again (insert angry face here!) the packages arrived on my doorstep!

Oh my gosh, yayyyy, yippeee, I was so excited!

I know, I'm lame, what can I say. 

The problem was my back was not cooperating. I threw it out during a mad cleaning spree, and I was in a ton of pain. 

The guest room refresh was going to have to wait. Sigh. 

But it's finally done now....and I want to show you how lovely it is! Wait, I lied...it's not really done, it still needs some art on the walls....but remember how long it took me to hang art in the living room? Yup, this will take a while as well, no doubt. Don't hold your breath. 

But here she is, all dressed up! 

Isn't she purty? 

I kept the palette neutral with pops of pink. For some reason I just love pink in this room...it goes so well with the Big Green Monster. 

I just love, love, love the new drapes and the matching shams. They are feminine and 'girly' but seem so grown up at the same time! Unlike my sweet polka dotted sheers, which were just super playful and cute. 

The drapes look amazing with the Big Green Monster, the green of the leaves plays off perfectly with the chippy green monster. 

I hung these drapes with clip rings as well, just like I did with all the new drapes. I just love the way the clip rings take the drapes to another level. 

What? I already told you how lame I am, don't act surprised  now!

I kept one little playful touch in the room with the addition of this pink fluffy throw pillow. How cute is that....I just love it! 

So, I still need to find some art for the walls....and add a throw at the end of the bed...but this room just makes me smile every time I open the door now! 

I have my eye on a floral canvas over at Wayfair...don't be surprised if one of these days I'm showing you that piece on that empty wall! 

Now all I need are the guests! Any takers?
