it's all about the hospitable home
Once upon a time there was an antique blanket chest
that was at the foot of the iron bed in the guest room.
You can see it here when I revealed the guest room makeover.
That blanket chest was relocated to the sunroom to add more texture and warmth seen here.
Well, that left a void at the foot of the bed in the guest room.
So what is one to do? Well, you visit Mary Alice’s shop!
You know how it is.
There is always something special “that’s in the family” . . .
that someone has decided to let go with a slight bit of hesitation.
Several months ago, I ran across an estate sale on the way to breakfast with friends.
My hubby spotted it; however, we continued on as there were 3 cars following each other.
On the way back my hubby suggested we stop and take a look, as he always admired that house from afar.
I am glad he suggested we stop as I found some great things there.
One of them was a vintage drop leaf table that went to my booth. I did not sell it before I closed
the booth and I was really good with that!
I painted this maple drop leaf table with Annie Sloan Pure White.
I got a little ahead of myself and totally forgot to take a before picture until I was almost finished
and managed to take a photo of one of the legs of the table.
The original place in which I wanted to place this table did not work
so I tried this space and I loved it, thus how to create a cozy writing corner.
This room is about to get a bit of a makeover soon.
I am wanting to add more black accents to coordinate with the bed frame and the chandy.
You may have noticed a peek of the hutch that I am still working on in the guest room
in the first picture featured on this post.
This black vintage stool fits the bill for this room and a great display piece for accessories
like this ironstone tureen with a vintage quilted heart that my granddaughter loves.
I placed this French Enamelware Pitcher that I bought in France on the desk.
This pitcher was originally in the guest bath.
A few decorative accessories to start off with; however, I know that it will probably change soon as I
want to add a basket of postcards and stationery to offer guests if they shall need them.
With the one of the leaves of the table up, it created a nice surface for writing or computer time.
The wicker chair was previously on the other side of the room tucked under a table used as a night stand.
I am happy with this new cozy writing space for my guests. An unintended place for this table that
actually turned out well.
Other than a basket of stationery, I think a container for a phone charging station would be great for
the desk. If you were a guest, would there be something that you would like to have on a writing desk?
If so, let me know!
Have a wonderful day!!
