Slowly, as we live and work, we work
on making our little house in the big
woods (a.k.a. our "cottage") a comfy
and cozy abode. We add and move.
And somedays we feel like we're almost
done. Room by room, item by item.
In our guest room, we've had a fun time putting
it altogether. We've never had a dedicated room
before for guests. But with our little guy and our
dd living in the apartment we created for them in
our build, we needed a spot for him to sleep when
mama, who is a pediatric nurse, is working nights.
It's been great fun searching for just the right
pictures and small items to hang on this wall. I
haven't decided yet if it's done or if a few more
things need to be added but we love it so far.
It's a bit too girly for him of course, though he
does tell us he sleeps really well and its comfy.
At the grand old age of almost 8, he is entitled
to his opinion and we cherish it. But we won't
be changing this room anytime soon. It will at
some point have crown moulding (all piled up
and ready to be installed) and we still need to find
just the right curtains to go over the light lace and
the blinds. We're trying to find either something
already made or fabric to create our own. A tiny
pattern or solid dark. So far, no luck but we won't
give up until this guest room is finally complete.
Do you have a guest bedroom in your home?
Is it used very often or just on occasion?

Your guest room looks lovely. No wonder the little guy sleeps well when he's with you.
We don't have a guest room.
We had one in our first house, until we started filling the house with babies! Haven't had one since!! X Chy
If you have an extra room, a guest room is something you can use to bless others. Since I only have one child at home now it was wonderful to turn one of the bedrooms into a "true" guest room, and fun doing so just as you discovered! This room in my house is used quite often though, there were times this past summer that as soon as I had one guest, or couple, leave I was onto cleaning it for the next ones to arrive. I have learn some great ideas to make a welcoming guest room. And when others know you have an extra room and it is open, "they will come"!
Your room is showing pretty and inviting!
Blessings to you.
Thanks for visiting Cathy! I'd love to have a stream of guests but we live in the middle of 3 provinces and most of our family members live in the one to the east of us and the one to the west. So not as many guests as I'd love but they do come here and there! I've loved having this room and hope the visits will increase! X Chy
