The title should probably read: Leftover Guest Bedroom Finally Gets A Makeover since previously everything leftover from other rooms in the house always landed in this one.
After we got the reclaimed door headboard done we had the Country Home photo shoot so I dressed the bed in white linens with a linen check for an accent because I was short on time and knew it would photograph well.
I couldn’t decide which direction I wanted to go with the room so it stayed that way for quite some time. I then found the chocolate buffalo check fabtic and bought 15 yards for an amazing deal. Originally I was going to use the check fabric for window treatments and pillows too. However once I got the bedskirt made it was pretty obvious the room would be way too dark with all that brown buffalo check fabric.
I searched and searched for a secondary fabric to go with the check and was about to give up when I finally found this floral. Originally I bought three yards but ended up reordering it two more times before the project was finished because I eneded up using it to make London shades for the windows and a slipcover for this little stool.
Of course once the room was put back together the French chest didn’t seem to look as nice in the room as it did before. So, it got a little makeover with paint too…
New custom pillows and an embroidered duvet finish the bed off……
The French cane back chair got a little white linen slipcover too! The French table which was behind the settee in the living room was moved to the bedroom to replace the skirted table that was here before.
Thanks for stopping by to visit!!!!

After I bought the new drapes for the dining room the blue and white plates I had on the wall sconce shelves suddenly didn’t look so good anymore. I searched and searched for something different to put on the little shelves but nothing was quite right. Then one day I saw some wicker candle holders while looking on Pinterest. I thought they would be perfect…..the only problem was they were really expensive! So, I kept searching and found these less expensive ones.
They were the perfect size and affordable! The ones I saw originally were a grey willow though and I thought of them every time I walked thru the room and saw the brown wicker ones. The other day it occurred to me to just paint them!!!
I brushed a little grey paint on them…..first a lighter shade then a darker shade. While they were better they still weren’t quite right though. So, I sanded some of the paint off and then they were just what I had envisioned all along!!!!!
A quick little fix and all it took was a little paint!

A little French inspiration to start your weekend off right……
Have a great weekend!
I bought this cute little French footstool a couple of weeks ago.
While it was in nice condition the green needlepoint fabric didn’t coordinate with anything in my house.
So, I opted to remove the fabric and replace it with a toile one.
After removing the old fabric and pulling all the staples out I added a little batting over the top
before putting the new fabric on.
I added a little gimp to finish it off and re-used the brass nail tacks.
It’s such a cute little footstool, I’m sure it will make the rounds in the house
before I find the perfect spot for it?!?!?
