Next to the bed in the Guest Room is a chest -- with drawers to be used by guests, with a lamp for reading and a mirror (which could be used for makeup application or combing hair).
And of course, there are other "things" as well -- an Oriental vase with some branches, a blue and white cachepot with a topiary and pictures -- of fun family vacations. (Because Daughter Sarah and her Andy are our most frequent guests).The mirror is a Venetian Mirror which is leaned against the wall rather than hung. I love the fanciness of the mirror resting atop the plain painted chest.
The vase is a favorite although it's not blue and white -- I love the oranges on the handle. The cachepot is Spode and a small topiary fits inside perfectly.
The lamp -- a bouillotte lamp is perfect for a bedtime read. The on/off switch is handy which is very important for a bedside lamp!
It is a bit cluttery for a guest room. But we do like a bit of clutter. And besides, there are other spaces in the room where guests can put things so it's not terribly important that the chest top be bare.

Please join her and see what everyone has on their tabletop this Tuesday.

I enjoy the "tours" of Linderhof. It seems such a comfortable place. The guest room is a lovely retreat. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with me.

This is so beautiful, Martha! I love seeing your home.
I just read about your mother in law. My mother was known as Granny to her grandchildren and her mother was known as Granny to hers, as well. I am sorry for your loss.
Gorgeous. I love the mirror leaning on the chest and the two vases are beautiful together. I really enjoy the way you mix things, it always looks so interesting. The family photos are such a great idea. Beautiful vignette. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
I'm on my way over.
What a stunning vase! I like the way it goes with the pretty floral wallpaper. My guest room needs work...
It is a lovely vignette, Martha. I'm sure your guests are thrilled to stay midst those cherished objects you call "clutter". Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
