Guest Room Addition

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?

The room needed something with a little more warmth;
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.)
