New guest room






My friend Cindy had suggested that I pick a theme for my new guest room which used to be my daughters room.
I decided to make it my quilt display room with a vintage feel to it.
It feels bright and vintage to me, what do my blog friends think?

I love it...will be cozy for your next visitor. Did you finish the little hexies, or is that a different hexagon quilt in the first pic?

Pat said...

I agree with ranette......looks great and I want to stay there sometime soon. LOL

All my chicks have left the nest...and I have yet to decorate any of the rooms with quilts. Why? Because I don't have any to decorate! I give everything away! I really need to add personalized touches to this house and make it mine...after 30 years...pathetic. You room has inspired me!

Yvette said...

What a cute room! Be careful, your guests will be so at home they will never want to leave. LOL

Beena said...

I think it's great! Who would not love to be a guest in a room decorated in this quilty fashion?!!!!

Just what I would have done, if I had a guest room. I would like a room to rotate quilts for show, matching the seasons and/or my mood. I make a lot of quilts that don't go with my decor but that I love. I bring them out but they clash with everything else. I guess I just need a "bland" room for showing quilts. LOL

Great idea and it looks so homey...warm ...

Lynn said...

I like it. Especially like the table topper on the night stand - very sweet. It's nice to have our creations out where we can enjoy them!

Your room is wonderful... thank you so much for the great cottage block. The label is just gorgeous..... now we will all have incentive to get these put together... thanks again.

It's adorable Betsy!

can I come be your guest... pleeeeeeeease

Vivian said...

What a great room!

A comfy place for guests (although they won't get any sleep for wanting to look at all the yummy quilted pieces!), a place to display your creations and an incentive to make more projects (to change out the display from time to time). It's a three-fer treat!!!

However, a sign should be posted that all bags will checked upon leaving to make sure that no one tries to sneak any of the goodies home with them! (LOL)
