{3rd Bedroom Design & Project Update}

Get ready....it*s not pretty. Not yet.

The guest bedroom.

I have no idea what*s going on in here.

Okay, some folks tell me it*s not THAT bad.

While I covet all the antique furniture & it all matches (except for the sewing machine) I guess I feel it*s unappealing because I*ve neglected the room & it doesn*t seem to flow with the rest of the house. I just kinda throw stuff in there. Aesthetically, it stinks.

All the furniture will be removed from the room & I may use the vintage sewing machine in the new space.

{Here is my initial plan for the space}

I added some text using Googles Picasa & the text appeared much larger than it does here. Grab your magnifying glass.

I don*t have ideas for furniture or wall decor yet, but I*ve decided that the room will function as a guest bedroom/playroom for the girls. We*ll talk more about where Josie Carter will sleep in a later post.

{On the bed}

A handmade antique "wedding ring" style quilt. It was passed on to me from Justin*s mom & it*s important to me to implement it into the new room, but I*m not that far yet.

{On the floor}

A huge braided rug that I found at Tuesday Morning several years ago.

Braided rugs have always reminded me of patriotic American or American folk art styles. It*s not the look I*m going for but I can*t seem to fall out of love with this particular one. It may be used in another part of the house if it doesn*t compliment the newly painted Turquoise walls.

{Here* s the latest}

Ladies & gents' we have VERY turquoise walls!

& some fun faux molding that I painted on. I used Lowe*s Valspar brand in "Aqua Glow"

& a high gloss white paint left over from a previous project.

The ceiling has been left as-is (the old room color) because the bead board will cover that up.

^^^Yea! There*s the bead board propped up against the wall.
