Blush in the Guest Room and A Winner

The Guest Room is Blushing? Or is it Bashful?  The Steel Magnolias would know!

Today, there is Blush in the Guest Room and A Winner!

When I was in Florida, a trip to HomeGoods to get something for my sister

yielded several things. A tablecloth that I used in my Floral Friday post,

a quilt for my sister, two pink or should I say blush pillows, and more.

Today, you will see how two pink/blush pillows and more, gave the guest room a bit of a refresh.

When I returned home from Florida, the next day I gathered some of my pink pretties

which included this beautiful ruffled throw placed in a French Market Basket

along with a great magazine for a guest to enjoy.

While in Florida, I was shopping for things to re-decorate my sister’s guest room.

I found this Asian vase in a  consignment shop there . . . (for me!)

I also used this vase  in my prior Floral Friday post.

Pink Stock-Housepitality Designs-2

I found  great pink/blush stock flowers when running my usual errands after a trip.

They sit beautifully on the bedside table which doubles as a desk.

One of the pink/blush pillows is placed on the “desk” chair.

The other was placed in the small chair by the hutch.

The chair is tucked into the corner under the antique painting.

I love the patina of the frame.

My newly acquired Juliska pitcher has found a new home in the guest room

along with the blue and white bowl of pink and lavender dried roses.

I added two darker pink textured pillows

to the bed, that were previously in the Master Bedroom.

I found them in the Pottery Barn clearance bin months ago.

With just a few additions/changes, I was able to refresh this room for Early Spring.

I shall be adding and changing some things in this room soon

to bring it into the full swing of Spring.

Now to the winner of the book, “Beautiful” by Mark D. Sikes.

It is #21, Rebecca T. !!! Congrats Rebecca!

And while we are on the subject of “Beautiful”, I wish you a most beautiful day!!!

    I love the blush elements you’ve added to your beautiful guestroom. They are so light and feminine. The double gladiolas in the Chinese vase are gorgeous. It is such a lovely room that you may have difficulty getting your guests to leave!

    Congrats to Rebecca, I will look for that book as I have 2 gift cards to Barnes and Noble! Your touches of pink/blush look beautiful. I haven’t gotten into this color trend yet. I am sure it must have been hard to leave your Mom, I am so glad she is doing so well! We are getting SNOW right now, about 4-5 inches so far and they are calling for maybe 8 MORE:( Trying to be positive but I am longing for SPRING!!!! Have a beautiful day!

    Your Florida trip rendered some very beautiful pieces. I love the blush with the blue. So beautiful and inviting. The Steel Magnolias would call it blushing I believe? Beautiful post.

    Hi Shirley! What a beautiful room. I especially like the touches of black here and there, a nice contrast to the lovely pastels. A room fit for a lady or a man! Hus, Pat at Bringing French Country Home

    I love your blush accents and additions to your guest room Shirley! You would have to check my suitcase if I was lucky enough to stay as a guest in your room to make sure I didn’t sneak out with your Juliska pitcher and those wonderful tole trays on the wall. 🙂

    Love the soft blush color you added. I’ve always liked pink and have been admiring this shade that’s so popular right now. Love the new vase you found and the stock looks beautiful in it!

    What a cozy and pretty room! I have always been a fan of using touches of black and I particularly like the way you have displayed the tole painted trays.
