The “Christmas” Guest Room

The guest room is decorated ..

~ ~ just in case there are any last minute guests.

I kept it very simple this year ~ ~

Christmas 2013 Guest Room

I gathered white decorations for this room.

White ceramic angels I have had for years gather around the green feather tree.

Another angel from the same set with the coordinating vases . .

~ ~ these were great finds at an after Christmas sale.

~ ~ ~ ~ the vases are not really a holiday item, but they were on sale too!

A year ago I concentrated on trying to find more items that were white or neutral in color . .

~ ~ like these trees.

I placed a simple boxwood wreath on the mirror this year . .

I think Santa may be the only touch of red in this room.

I purchased this framed print from an artist at the Country Living Fair in Atlanta.

    I really love this room. That smoky blue color on the walls with the white is just gorgeous! Now, you know how much I love clocks, and I really, really love that “gated” clock. It is so unique. The colors are so relaxing and cozy, I can see myself lounging in bed enjoying the beauty of all that is around me. Garrett’s coming for Christmas, I’m so excited, it gave me incentive to start decorating. Wish I had your energy. Merry Christmas! Love, Pam

    Love your guest room, Shirley! It is very welcoming and such a great size. Love that chandy! I kept our guest room very simple, too. My son will be here and I know he rolls his eyes if I have too much on the bed.

    The room is really pretty & comfortable looking but I think more touches of red would have enhanced the look.

    I would be very happy to stay in your room. For sure it is cozier than any of my bedrooms as none have an inkling of holiday spirit!

    Beautiful room. Thanks for sharing. Do you know where I can find that bed? We live in an old Victorian row house. And I’d love to find such an antique – looking bed. Thanks Achrisi.
