A More Summery Guest Room

The Guest Room

Daughter Sarah's room when she was in school

Now the least used room in our house

Although we do use the closet

And although we do store gifts and wrapping papers in the drawers of the wardrobe

It's a room that we do not enter on a daily basis

But we still view it from the hall every time we go upstairs!

And so it must be pleasing to the eye!

With linen curtains

And a linen covered duvet on the bed

Warm and cozy

But it's been in the upper 90s on the prairie

We want cool

Cool and inviting!

And so we changed things a bit

The matlesse spread without the duvet

And the linen curtains down

and white cotton batten burg lace curtains inside the windows.

It looks cooler!

The window seat

full of my needlepoint pillows!

It overlooks the garden

But, alas, the roof of the breakfast room is really what you see!

With the batten burg curtains and the plethora of needlepoint pillows

I don't normally change things from winter to summer and back again

But somehow, the guest room seemed to just need a change!

I do think it's more welcoming now!

A place to welcome both grand girl Lucy and The Expected One!

There's even a rocking chair for rocking little ones!
