Under a Blue Moon

Decor, cooking, organization, all the pretty things

Guest rooms

P1050005

Since I’ve been monkeying around with the bedding in our guest rooms I wanted to do a post on them.  But then I cannot take a decent picture to save my life (darn gloomy lighting).  And when I look closely as the ones I do take I suddenly see flaws in the room that aren’t visible to the naked eye.  Take that side table.  How skimpy is that? 

P1050013 Case in point about two second after taking that picture I bumped it gently and sent the little pot of flowers flying and the glass I had it in shattered into a million pieces.  Also the sconce thingie above the bed.  Yuck on the gold – I took them both down and painted them cream colored.  Much better – more like old plaster. 

I take our guest rooms seriously.  I want people that end up sleeping here to have a sense of ‘ahh – it’s so nice to be here.’ instead of wishing they were at home in their own bed.   The beds are comfortable, so I’ve been told.  In fact one sister sleeps in so late when she visits that we crank up the heat in an effort to flush her out in the morning.  Hmm ~ that’s not sounding very hospitable, is it? 

P1060007 We live a couple of hours away from our family so when we do get together it is almost always for an overnight stay.  It’s in my best interest to make them want to come back.  I like to put a framed picture of whomever is staying in the room to make it feel homey to them.  I don’t know if that works or if it just comes across as calculated.    Look ~ it’s my dad on a pony.  Actually that picture stays up all the time. 

What I should invest in is one of those schmancy cappuccino makers.  We aren’t coffee drinkers in my house and I never remember to get fresh coffee or how to use my 1/2 cup coffee maker so I end up offering up stale, not very well made coffee in the morning.   

So come visit!  I can guarantee a comfy bed, bad coffee and picture of yourself on your wobbly bedside table.

    I’ll come! It all looks really inviting. We don’t have a guest room and have to kick my teenage son out of his 21/2 foot bed…and then our guests have to look at his posters of Green Day…umm..no wonder we never had guests!
    Seriously though, I hate coffee so I would never leave your wonderful room, heating cranked up or not!!
