A TUTU AND A HEADBOARD

A couple months ago I had a post showing all the changes I had made to our pink guest room.  At that time, I still needed a headboard and some finishing touches.  Well, that room is now complete!  The bed now has a headboard made from an old door, and I did a new painting to grace the wall.  

I had a wonderful time raising two great sons and had a lot of fun decorating their rooms as babies and young boys.  I remember the blue sailboat wallpaper I had in my first son's room.  I was so proud of that - my first attempt at wallpaper (even though we could only afford enough to cover one of the walls)! Then as they got older they did their own thing.  

They never wanted a pink bedroom nor had any interest in tutus - imagine that!  However, I grew up in a pink bedroom and always wanted one in my own house someday.  So here it is, complete!

  

My oldest son and his wife just stayed in this room a few weeks ago - tutu and all!  

And even he agreed . . . it's a very romantic room!

One guest room done!

In thinking that I had a long weekend ahead (four days), my goal was to get enough done that I could post both guest rooms.  That didn't happen.  But one of them did get done.  

It's frothy.  

And feminine.  

And pink! 

 

 

When summer comes, and I have more time, I have plans for a headboard for the bed . . . 

This is a little framed piece matted in pink velvet showing an ad for my great-grandfather's shoe store!

  And a lacy potpourri bag I got with my mother while in Ireland.

I repainted the little table.  It was way too pink for me.  You can see the pink coming through the white on the table now - instead of the white coming through the pink!  

Here is the chandelier that came from the flea market in McKinney.

A comfy place to sit . . . slipcover is compliments of my mom, a master seamstress!

We are ready for guests!
