The Guest Room, Undone

I really would prefer showing you this room after it's all fixed up cute, but since so many of you asked to see more pictures with the furniture, I decided "why not?" Feel free to offer any suggestions on color, etc. In case you didn't read my post from yesterday, I'm trying to decide if I should work around the vintage fabric in the little chair or have the chair redone. The room is quite large, like 12x10.4 and 9' ceilings. I had always thought I would want the walls painted a warmer, darker hue but something that would still allow the beauty of the wood to show. The furniture is made of burled walnut.

I purchased this three piece bedroom set in Oklahoma many, many years ago for a song. It was at my first estate sale. I was all by myself and scared to death to make an offer. After it was clear I had won, some sweet little old man tapped me on the shoulder and said, "it's okay honey...I'll buy it from you if your husband doesn't want you to have it." That did make me feel better.

Please try and pretend the accessories aren't there.

Another piece of furniture in here is an old Singer sewing machine from my husband's mother. I would love to find a beautiful old secretary to add some height in furniture. It's always nice to have a desk in a guest room, don't you think?

Come and around and then you will see you are back to where you started.

I have two other things to tell you. Remember the lady on Halloween that I didn't recognize because she had lost so much weight? Well it happened again. I ran into an old neighbor at Target. She called me by name and then I realized who she was. Because of the last incident, I said nothing. That night in bed I was mad at myself for not telling her how good she looked. Will we ever get it right?

Friday morning I had two friends over for a little breakfast. I couldn't wait to pull out the fox stole I had found the day before. THEY LOVED IT! Cindy has a daughter getting married on Saturday and she asked if she could borrow it for the wedding. She had purchased a faux fur at TJMaxx for $40 and said she would never wear it again and she liked mine MUCH better! We were all just sitting there smiling over my great find.
