Christmas Home Tour - 2020 - Bedroom

 This is my bedroom. It's small but cozy.  The walls are dark green and the curtains are maroon. I want to paint the walls but the thought of having to move everything stops me, maybe someday. I have to say I don't like the way my pictures turned out because the lighting is so bad.  But here it is...

An antique iron bed is adorned with greenery on the head and footboard...

Lots of fluffy pillows, the Merry Christmas pillow is made from a placemat...

a black  painted tray holds a Christmas tea pot, cup and towel....

Every room should have a chandelier. This one I found at my local Habitat for Humanity store, 

they have great deals and they do wonderful work in the community...

          Two small wreaths hang on the curtain rod between the windows...

Well, that's my home. All decorated for the Christmas holiday. I hope you have all enjoyed seeing it and maybe it inspired you to decorate your home. As you can see, it doesn't have to cost a lot of money. Make your home something you enjoy being in and have a very Merry Christmas!

Yellow Gingham Guestroom

What else can brighten up a room than new paint and yellow gingham! I love gingham, something about it makes me feel cottage cozy and at home. I recently fixed up a guest room and it looks like a million bucks but far from it , this room was done for hardly anything and I love the way it turned out.

I knew I wanted yellow gingham curtains so that's where I started. I was going to make the curtains but I found these from Sears for only $16. The back wall I painted yellow and the other walls white. I better water my plant it looks a bit droopy.

A bit of sparkle from this beautiful chandelier from facebook marketplace for only $20. Handmade pillows from fabric I already had and lamps & nightstand from Goodwill for $2.

I painted the nightstand. I have so much fun searching for items at the thrift store that I can use or fix up. The lampshade came separate but it is so cute and still was only $2. I added some silver with the kleenix box and always have to have plants in a room.

Some Goodwills also sell new goods such as this wall sign that was the perfect size for the space.

More plants on the other side and a cute, little silver clock - $4 Goodwill

 Antique dresser we already had. Some more fun accessories from thrift stores that I had and finally got to use. Sometimes I buy things for future use.

 Love the reflection in the mirror....

I always put a tray at the end of a bed full of goodies - tea pot and cup, candy , candle and a plant...

So if you are ever in town and want to come visit you'll have a beautiful place to stay.
