As you know,
I've been looking for something different for the end of the bed in the guest room.
I was tired of the dated, white wicker chest.
See it there in the corner of the photo?
See it there in the corner of the photo?
The room needed something with a little more warmth;
a little more rusticness.
a little more rusticness.
I had considered painting the wicker,
but couldn't decide on what color.
So, I took my 40% coupon
and cruised the isles at Hobby Lobby looking for inspiration.
At first, nothing caught my eye
until
I saw this.
Total scrumptiousness.
Total deliciousness.
Total perfectness.
Onto the cart it went
(it wouldn't fit inside the cart)
and off I skipped
with my coupon in hand
and the sound of little birds in my head.
(cheap! cheap! cheap!)
After hauling the white wicker chest to the attic
to be sold at the Flea this spring,
I settled the new addition into her new home
and filled her with fluffy pillows and crisp linens.
I adore the leather strap closure.
Here's a peek at the current vignette on the dresser in the guest room,
Candelabra: A $4.00 ReStore find. |
the bedside table with a little Swedish topiary,
Small Topiary: Antique Farmhouse; clock: Pottery Barn |
and ironstone on the other dresser.
I'm still skipping....
(but the little birds are quiet now ~
in case you're wondering.)

I love your new addition, Laurie. The leather strap is a great element, and compliments the bed frame.
ReplyDeleteLove that guest room and great find at Hobby Lobby! The room looks so cozy and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteYep, you found the perfect piece, Laurie. It looks right at home in your guest room. I really love it! I'm glad the birdies quieted down, otherwise you probably couldn't sleep tonight ~ and you may have to stop the skipping too! : )
ReplyDeleteHi there, I've got to say I love it, but I love everything about your guest room! I thought your old white wicker chest was fine but I so prefer this one. You have a wonderful way of decorating.
ReplyDeleteNoreen
Pretty, Laurie! What a great find. Could you see over the basket while you pushed your cart? : )
ReplyDeleteThat looks beautiful
ReplyDeleteI love the piece you found! I might have to cruise the Hobby Lobby goodness and have the birds sing in my ear, too! ;0 I need (want) to replace some brown baskets and this one looks perfect. Thank you for sharing!

Wow! Your guest room is beautiful, I love your new addition, sorry when I read the title of your post I was assuming I was the new addition. Wink, wink. :)

Hugs Rosemary...xoxo
I love the look!! I would feel very cozy and happy in this pretty guest room of yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend friend!
Oh I do love that wicker basket!! Looks so nice and I love the linens on the bed. Are they vintage?? You know I also LOVE the music on your blog. I just go to your blog in the morning and listen to the music while I clean:)
ReplyDeleteVery peaceful , love it!!! Blessings Lori
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! You are so awesome! I so wish we had a Hobby Lobby here in Canada...time for another venture over the border I'm thinking! Lovely...just lovely choice. xo wendy
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful room. It is so soothing and cozy looking. You did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteI love that...so perfect! I am looking for the same thing but there's no Hobby Lobby here....sigh...have to keep looking!
ReplyDeleteLorraine
It is wonderful. I do like those leather straps too. I showed my hubby your allure wood flooring and he is sold! yep...as soon as my sick little Holly is better we will visit Home Depot to see what they carry in stock. The hardest part is deciding which color. Your 'tradition' is in one of our choices.
ReplyDeletePS please say a prayer for my sweetie...Holly has a kidney infection and is alot of pain with fever. I was at Kaiser with her all day yesterday. She has had waves of sever pain and fever for over 42 hrs now. thank you. ox
What a lovely room & that basket is perfection!!

This is too funny! I just picked up the same basket at my Hobby Lobby yesterday after Sherry at No Minimalist Here blogged about it in January. It's a great LARGE basket.
ReplyDeleteYour basket is perfect for your guest room. Looks great at the end of the bed. The whole room looks so warm and inviting.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
I love this room and pinned it. The basket is lovely too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Laurie!!! I am in love with that basket!!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a Hobby Lobby by my house, but my Mom does, maybe I should send her in to get this for me. :)
Your room looks incredible, beautiful job.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Melinda
Your header is lovely, Laurie. The addition to the guest room is very nice, too. Everything looks neat, clean, and organized. Nice job! Susan
ReplyDeleteSuch a small change and it makes a really nice change in your lovely guest room! (I love the Hob Lob coupon!! Use them all the time. Did you know that you can pull it up and the cashier can scan it off a smart phone?)
ReplyDeleteWhat a find the basket was. Your guest room is lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat find...love the wicker trunk!! Don't you just love Hobby Lobby and their 40% off coupon!! Beautiful guest room...love, love, love it!!

Laurie,
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing in your room.Love that topiary too.
I LOVE it! I picked up a much smaller version at a local thrift a few months ago. I'm really loving the little leather straps (or pseudo leather I guess I should say).
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Judy
Very pretty! Your guest room is just so lovely and soft looking. I hope ours comes together as nicely (I'm still working on collecting some things.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful room darling !!!...love it !!!...xxx...
ReplyDeleteLaurie,
ReplyDeleteYes my girl you have my heart in your style, for you know its so me as well, maybe a little heavy on the French for me but I could so steal from your style and you know how much I love the little corner spots you have created that have captured my heart :)

Beautiful guestroom. Love the chest. I have one almost like this.
ReplyDeleteHugs Bente
It all looks lovely. White, and crisp.
ReplyDeletexxoo
How lovely !! well it looked nice before but I agree it adds warmth and depth to a beautiful room and what an unusual leather clasp it has. I love wicker and having read your blog for a little while now...if you had told me you had made this item I would have believed you 'cos you are so super talented !! Have a nice Sunday evening...Gail x
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie, I posted about buying two of these baskets a few weeks ago to use as end tables. The basket look wonderful in your pretty guest room.
ReplyDeletexo, Sherry
Everyone is buying this. I may have to, too. looks great in your guest room.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find for your guest room...love it! Your guest room is so dreamy. I'm inviting you to visit Magnolia Cottage. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Lisa

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely room, Laurie...and the new addition is PERFECT...
ReplyDeleteYour guest bedroom is so gorgeous....the wicker trunk is the perfect addition!!!! I think I might *need* one now :o)
ReplyDelete~Des
PS. I am now following you on Google...hope you will follow me back :o)
Hi Laurie, Your guest room is so serene and beautiful. Just looking at your photos makes me want to crawl under the covers for a little snooze. Your new wicker is a great addition! I love when I get to hear those little birdies, too! :)
ReplyDelete-Revi
I am going to dream about that basket, honestly. I have never seen a Hobby Lobby. Maybe they don't have them here on the west coast. The room is lovely. I like that your decor is simple and elegant. Happy Tuesday sweet Laurie.
ReplyDeleteMC
I'm green with Envy!! Looks gorgeous and there's not a Hobby Lobby in sight of me :(
ReplyDeleteThe Perfect finishing touch! Haven't been to Hobby Lobby in a while...perhaps I should :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by from WW over at Faded Charm ~ nice to meet another fellow Michigander!
Warmest, Brenda
So very neat, it really added to the room! I'm going to use your suggestions for the wire baskets, I never thought of ironstone:) Thanks so much for stopping by♥
ReplyDeleteYou found that at Hobby Lobby? I didn't see anything like that the last time I was there, it is perfect! Love the way you decorate!
ReplyDeleteThat is about the sweetest guest room I've ever seen. It's so charming! I love everything about it. The best part though is that gorgeous wicker trunk you found and placed at the foot of the bed. It fits perfectly and I love how you're planning on using it. I remember seeing those at Hobby Lobby a while back. I loved them, but didn't have anywhere to use it. I could find a spot now. Just love it!! I'll have to keep my eyes open for them.
ReplyDeletethank you for your visit at my blog:)
ReplyDeleteYour guestroom ist great and the new basket you found I love it....
have a great day och take care
sandra
What an absolutely gorgeous room...and that trunk you found is amazing!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Laurie! Thank you for sharing at Potpourri Friday! I always appreciate your participation!
ReplyDeleteI'd still be skipping because it was a great piece for the room. I love the color and textures it adds. Love the leather strap. Also love the vignettes going on, all of them are so very pretty. Hope all is well with you. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best.
ReplyDeletethis room is stunning! i love the linens and jenny lind bed especially! gorgeous!
ReplyDeletehi!i love your bedding! where did you purchse all of it? let me tell you it is my bed time and my bed is not looking so hot right now! now that i have seen yours. i am in the market for new bedding, but it is so hard to find bedding that wont cost my husbands retierment. I saw a bedding set I liked but, did not buy, because the set did not include the pillows or the insides of the duvet cover!! and it was $1,200, on sale!Since I don't have a money tree I am still looking for bedding.
ReplyDeleteblessings,
aimee
It looks lovely!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect finish to your lovely guestroom! You just have me ooohing and aaahing everytime I see your beautiful place. xoxo ~Lili
ReplyDeleteEverything is done to perfection. All you need now is a guest, and luckily, I'm available!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking.
