The Guest Room

Hello everyone! I have been away from my blog for what seems like an eternity but it has been well worth it! My cousin came from across the country to visit for the last week and it was truly wonderful having her. I wanted to share some photos of her guest room. The previous owner had painted the walls in pink and white stripes so i thought i would work with it. The light fixture needed some fun and whimsy so i hung my china cups from it. She loved the effect!

A dressing table just for her.

A pretty pink quilt at the end of the bed in case she gets cold. It does cool down

here at night on the Island. By the way she loved the climate and was even happier that there are no bugs here!!! My cousin is from Northern Ontario and let me say you can't go anywhere without getting attacked by biting bugs....mosquitoes, horse flies, deer flies...need i say more?

I think she really appreciated the bedding. All the pillow shams were our grandmother's from Italy. The bedspread was also hand made in Italy many, many years ago.

These pillow shams were part of our grandmother's dowry when she married

our grandfather.

For more interest i hung one of my antique baptism gowns. This is such a girlie room. I had so much fun decorating it.

For some reason the closet has no doors so i hung curtains in place of doors.

My family and i enjoyed having her here. Today i was very, very sad to see her go.

She enjoyed her stay and all the sight seeing we did. I think i wore her out though.

Hopefully she will be back... I already miss her!
