Ta-Da… Introducing THE GUEST ROOM

Mike and I have been working diligently the past couple of weeks, cleaning out Doug’s (Mike’s dad) room, repairing walls and then painting.  Thursday, April 7th, the carpet arrived and we quickly began to put the room together again.

We painted a bookshelf of his parents a pale yellow.  We are all enjoying the contrasting colors.

Caroline – Mike’s mother – did some painting about 20 years ago.  When Mike & I painted the room we now occupy about six years ago, I remember seeing these paintings in the closet.  I remembered them as we were planning this room and thought that they might work.  I brought them up from the basement the other day and asked Caroline if we might use them.  She was thrilled!  There will be three paintings that we will hang.  Caroline also had some frames, which I am going to paint white, and then the other two pictures will be hung.

This room will serve as a Guest Room/sewing room.  We actually have a second twin mattress, so two people may sleep in this room!  I have begun moving in my sewing items.  I confess, I have really enjoyed decorating again.  I haven’t decorated a room for a while and this has been wonderful!  This has been an inexpensive remodel!

Suzanne – Mike’s sister – will be our first guest.  She arrives on the 17th.

RSVP’s may be made by calling 435-678-2941 or via email at sidney7705@gmail.com!

That looks great! And that's awesome that some of Granny's paintings will be displayed. Would you believe I never knew she painted?

I think that Granny has kept her painting a secret, but the paintings in living room of delicate arch and the mittens are also by her!
