Peeks of the Guest Room and Christmas Tree

Dear Readers,

Today, I thought I would give you a couple of peeks of the Guest Room

and the Christmas Tree.

Christmas tree? Yes, Christmas tree!

I have to start very early due to my schedule.

I must say it is going to be a bit different this year.

The full reveal will be on November 21st so stay tuned.

But first let’s start with a couple of sneak peeks of the Guest Room.

I have a few more things to add to the room;

however, they are still in an off-site storage unit that hopefully will be emptied soon.

Blue and White are the colors for this room.

Even the pumpkin is covered in blue and white paper

that I created a couple of years ago.

I had a larger mirror over the bed; however, it reflected the ceiling fan,

which is not a pretty sight.  Now only the cord shows!

Now for a few peeks of the tree.

I just have a couple dozen ornaments on it now . . .

24 down . . . a few hundred to go!

As you can see . . . this year I used white ribbon.

You can see a reflection of the tree in the mirror.

I cannot wait for you to see the reveal on November 21st,

as I stated above, this will be different

and something that I have wanted to do for a long time.

So that is what I have been up to this week.

I did go to an estate sale this past weekend and found

Chef la Vache ….

The message is on paper as my chalk is packed away!

    Your guest room looks very inviting. Love the blue and white bedding ensemble. I hate to admit it but we ordered a new tree and wanted to make sure everything worked and that we really liked it so we put it up in the living room. I’m not decorating it yet though (pretending it’s not really there- lol). Looks like your new design for the tree is going to be beautiful!

    Shirley,
    The guest bedroom is beautiful and quite a retreat! I am loving the comforter and lamps. Could you please reveal where you found the blue/white comforter? Cant wait to see what you have planned for the tree this year! I found a beautiful teal color glass tree at HomeGoods this week that I am going to use for my mantle this year and will be using teal, white and gold as my primary Christmas colors this year. Happy Decorating!!

    The guest room is so pretty! Now about that tree…did you go buy new stuff or did you find your decorations in storage?

    Your guest room is lovely, Shirley! I love that all your Christmas decor is stored in one of your extra rooms. That should help with all the decorating you do!

    Gorgeous guest rooms – I’m sure visitors love the pampering! Your rental really looks like home and I’m sure makes the wait for the new one easier. When we built our house, we rented a house that was way too small, so all the pretty things ended up in storage. It was worth it if course, but it would have been really nice to have had the rental feel more like “us.” Your tree is off to a stunning start! Jane

    Get it, girl!!!!!! I admire you for jumping right into the spirit of Christmas decorating! I’m right behind you since my back makes me go so much slower than in “the good old days.” This room is spectacular! My favorite blue and white combo!!!
