I'm making a couple of small changes in the guest room this spring. I'm hoping our guest will feel so welcomed and pampered.
This room is very tailored and has lots of space for our guests to move about and feel comfortable. So I don't want to clutter it with lots of chotchkies or other things.
So instead of hanging a picture above the bedside table I hung a bulletin board...
I think it will be the perfect place to pin up pictures of our guests and a welcome note and tickets or brochures to local events... or even a little gift!
I love the idea of personalizing it for each guest!
I also hung two tiny watercolor pictures of birds we often see in our yard. A little common house finch and a robin.
I chose the little bird pictures because of the two 3D nest pictures on the other side of the bed.
These little Nest pictures were so easy to make. If you would like to see how I made them click HERE
The bulletin board is empty now.. but won't be for long. We are having family in next weekend and I can't wait to dress it up just for them!

Of all the blogs that I read and see daily.....your blog is the most creative with so many How-tos that are gorgeous and very easy! Thanks for getting to the heart of our creative spirits! I always know that YOU will have something to get my mine going. THANKS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely guest room Yvonne! The bedding and the colors you chose to use in the room are all so beautiful together and the bulletin board is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI so love that idea Yvonne!...I used to have a blank frame on the bedside and inserted a pic of the guest coming...but I got away from that somehow...so you have inspired me to get back to that . . but then again, love your bulletin board so that you can post things like "on the menu", activities, and quotes of the day...We stayed at a wonderful B&B in California years ago and each day there was a beautiful quote on our bed when we returned for the day.....I have just added another item to my book of "Yvonne's Beautiful Projects and Ideas" ..
ReplyDeleteVery, very pretty Yvonne! I'm curious about the layering of your bedding. What is the order of your layers. Do you have a blanket on top of the flat sheet, and then the white quilt, and if so why both? Or does the white quilt act as the blanket? Also, is that a duvet cover at the foot of the bed or a comforter? May I just say thank you for all your beautiful and informative posts and hope you're feeling better.

ReplyDeletePinky, you have a standing invitation! The bulletin board came from... can you guess.... HomeGoods!
DeleteBeautiful room! I love everything that you do. Could you tell me where you purchased your bulletin board? I find it hard to find decorative bulletin boards that fit my space and this one would work perfectly in my mudroom.
ReplyDeleteI got this bulletin board from HomeGoods. Scooped it right up!
DeleteWhat a GREAT idea!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea Yvonne...anyone would love to stay there!

Wonderful idea and lovely room! I was wondering if your plant on the bedside table is real or faux? If faux, where would be the best place to find realistic ones? Thanks for all you post!
ReplyDeleteIt's faux. I don't always remember to water my upstairs plants.
DeleteYvonne, your guest room is beautiful and your guests will feel very welcome. I love all the soothing colours and textures and the great attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteThe bulletin board idea is brilliant! Love the calm soothing feel of your guest room. Drooling over that yummy taupe lampshade! Everything looks so warm and inviting - great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful room, Yvonne! Love the colors you've used as well as the bulletin board idea!
ReplyDeleteI just love this guest room.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea Yvonne! Your guests will feel so very welcome! Love the bird pictures and nests too...nature is so calming. The bedside table picks up on that idea too. Do you share where you bought that cute table? I would love to know. Your home is lovely indeed!
ReplyDeleteThis room is so pretty and very inviting, I would not leave. T he bulletin board is such a great idea. Love that bed!!
