Guest Room Free-do

Last weekend, I was confronted with providing new curtains

in my daughter's room.

I found what I thought would work on the discount table at Lowe's.

However,

the roman shades I bought were slightly too big for

her windows.

In my typical thrifty style, I remembered a pair of

chocolate, velvet, blue striped curtains

that were currently hanging in my guest room.

I pulled them off the guestroom window and

found them to be the perfect solution for Madison's bedroom.

All this left me with a guest room in need of curtains.

Now, once again in typical thrifty fashion,

I decided the guest room was now in need of

a re-do-free-do!

Since I had removed the brown and blue from

the windows, I now needed to remove the blue and

brown from the room!

I decided to pull out an old master bedroom bedding set

and try it in the guest room.

And was thrilled when the room went from this to...

to this!

I added the green accessories to accent

the green in the plaid bedding.

the mirror is actually an old window that we fitted

with a piece of mirror from behind.

On top of the dresser I added one of my two matching

modern green lamps.

I also added my baby picture framed in the same

green tone.

To complement the green plaid

I added cream sheets and pillows.

The head board is an antique fireplace mantle.

I have always loved the design of this mantle.

As you can tell, we never added a backing to the opening.

The silhouette are of my children when they were small.

I just matted them and put them

in cheap painted Walmart frames.

The ceder chest was a handmade gift to my

"Mom's first born" from a dear family friend.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my free-do!
