I cannot tell you how long is has been taking me to re-decorate this guest room.
I have been working on this a little at a time, in-between other projects and activities.
A few more tweaks, a little more painting, a few more things to purchase
and it will be done . . . however, you know that nothing is ever done.
I had the Pottery Barn Sienna Paisley on this bed previously.
The paisley design had soft hues of blue, green and white.
That particular bedding has been in the room for a few years now and it was time for a change.
As soon as I saw this Darcy Toile Bedding in the Pottery Barn Catalog, I knew this was the
the pattern and look I was going for in this room.
I so love the patterns of Toile and Chinoiserie.
In an earlier post I spoke of an item that my hubby spotted when we were at Pottery Barn last week.
Here it is . . . a black glass cabinet with a mirrored back that actually is made for hanging,
however, I thought that it would look great on this table (for now at least) and goes so well
with the black accents on the room and the iron bed.
I mentioned earlier that I was still working on a piece of furniture.
Here is a bit of a peek . . . still needs a bit more painting and new hardware.
I found the lamp I had in mind for the writing desk at HomeGoods. A Drexel Heritage at a great price.
Still tweaking the wall and table top decor, but I think it won’t be too long before this room
will be finished; however, as I said before, a room is never finished, it is always evolving,
like all things in life. It just keeps things interesting and fun.
I wish you a most glorious day!
Oh, I love that bedding in my room. 🙂 Great cabinet and Tommy has a great eye. No, a room is never finished for us tweakers and changers.

What a beautiful cabinet, Shirley! Your hubby has a good eye. : ) It goes so well with the theme of the new bedding and that pretty lamp I see, too. Can’t wait to see the rest. I need to get my master bedroom together for pictures. After we painted it we went right into our bathroom redo so I almost forgot about it!

It’s such a beautiful space, it’s so warm and welcoming. I love the chandelier! I must say that when I saw the chandelier in your home it inspired me to purchase it as well for my home. Your dear hubby is a great shopper too!

Love all the special touches. The chandelier with the droplets looks amazing… Sometimes I want to change it all to white, but I would have to change too many things…
