The Guestroom is FINISHED!!!!!!

Well it's finally finished (ish) - remember last Spring when the room looked like this?   It a little cheerier now thanks to some thrifty purchases and a little fun DIY :)



I have to say that I love love love the chest of drawers now that I gave them some colour and TLC


and I love my pompoms  too - bought from Pom Love on Etsy

and the painting may not be finished but I don't care! it's up and doing it's job of calming down some of the 'over-the-top' elements of the room :)

 For the bed I just added some IKEA cushions and throw ...


I clipped some silk flowers and ribbon to the existing lamp




The silk on the wall behind the bed was one of those bad purchases from about 10 years ago - it's a really beautiful embroidered throw from Monsoon but totally impractical and after rescuing it once too many times from the cats, it was put in a drawer and forgotten about - but at last it's found a (safe) use.






I added some mirrored bunting along the top of this wall and added the 'blinged' sconce that I blogged about last year here







painted and recovered the old 80's grey chair




and added a final bit of twinkle :)


I know it's a room mostly for girls, but boys,  TOUGH! ;P

So funny, I bought a bunch of poms off Etsy which I hope to hang in my future sewing room... you know, if I ever get one :)

Hope you are doing well!!

PS. A hammock much like yours in the post below is also on my future wish list.
