My First Before & After Picture

Well after living here for 6 months, I finally, finally, can show you one of my  finished bedrooms. I also can show you a sweet telephone table that got a fresh coat of paint.


Before Picture of the Bedroom:
I love this soft green so I kept the color!

The Before Picture of the Telephone Table:

This table was given to me about 30 years ago. I had big plans for this telephone table and cute chair! Since then I changed my mind....

My husband sawed the side pieces out, they got broken.

A picture of most of the bedroom......On the other wall is a white built in filled with books, ducks and swans.
The pictures were a Goodwill find in Buffalo, NY. The lamps I bought at second hand stores, both are crystal. Can you see the telephone table? 

This is on the other side of the bed. The built in go all the way to the ceiling. The door is a walk in closet.

Pretty in white.....I was thinking to decoupage the top. I'm just not sure. I also thought to use paper just on the top to give it more color. But for now, I do like it simple.

Here it is with the light on.....

The antique dresser is at the bottom of the bed and was bought at an estate sale.

The steamer trunk was a birthday gift from my parents when I was under 20. My love for antiques grew as I got older. It has moved with me each time! The diaper pail is repurposed as a magazine holder.

I have realized while writing this post that I have alot of memories in my possessions. The rocker was given to me for a wedding present from my maid of honor in 1977. I bought her the very same one for her wedding. The afghan was made by my Aunt Lena who passed many years ago. She would have been 105. I love the pattern and colors. It is wool.

This is one of my guest rooms. I have three. I like this one the best. It seems to be together more than the other two.
My daughter will stay in this room when she comes on Friday from Schenectady, NY.
When people come and stay with us, I try to make our home like a bed & breakfast. When I hear them moving around, I will set a tray in front of  their door with fresh coffee and a muffin. Then they can have their coffee and get dressed at their leisure. I like making people feel at home.

White & gold cups and sugar & creamer are Bella Lux. The pattern is Alexandra Gold.

I also have bathrobes and extras for my guests laid out on their bed. It just makes their stay a little more comfortable. You can only take so much in a suitcase!
I find they are so appreciative knowing that if they forget something or couldn't pack it, I have it here for them.

Hope you enjoyed my post today. As always, I am glad you stopped by...please be sure to leave me a comment or two. I love hearing from my friends.
Hope you have a Happy & Safe Fourth of July! I will catch up with you .....
