Guest Bedroom

For the past couple of weeks I have been busy getting some new drapes up and shaping up my guest bedroom.

Some time ago when we repainted I painted most all the rooms in my house, with the exception of the dining room and my husband's office, a khaki colored paint. I wanted to keep this bedroom very neutral with the khaki, black, white and a few touches of pink.

I have always wanted an iron bed and when I first began redoing this room I knew a black iron bed was exactly what I wanted.

I had to special order the mahogany pine cone finials and brackets. This was something that held up my project. I also had found this fabric for my drapes and pillows with the khaki leaf print on it and it worked perfectly.

I also used some embroidered pillow here as well. The Euro sham is by Martha Stewart.

I love different fabrics and textiles and these were perfect.

The wing chair is very old and covered in an antique toile. The black and white plaid was not an old fabric but there was not enough to cover the seat cushion with the toile and the plaid worked very well.

A guest bedroom would not be complete without a TV so I found this mirrored table for it.

I am still looking for some things to hang on the walls and I am on the look out for some really good looking large baskets to go underneath this mirrored table. I need to hide some of what is underneath. I am looking for a dark brown basket and hope to find something compatible in a trash basket as well. As you can see, it still needs some work.

But as night falls it is still a charming room for guests even if still unfinished.

I have to add here because it is so dear to my heart, the oil painting of the little girl to the right of the dresser was painted by my mother whom we lost 20 years ago.

It's Tuesday and I am joining Marty at a Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday.
