What is your favorite part of decorating? Is it the planning... the shopping... choosing the colors...
Although I love the whole process... my very favorite part of decorating is embellishing and putting together the final decor details that give a room personality and life.
Here is a look at some decor details in a guest bedroom I recently made over...
This room has a clean uncomplicated style, neutral colors and lots of room for my guests to move around. Here's a look at corner of the room...
And the other corner...
The space between the windows was begging for a little art... so I hung a trio of plates...
Adding plates to the wall gives the room interest without adding clutter.
The center plate hung in my dinning room. It belonged to my Aunt Kate. This is the only thing I have of my father's side of the family.
Since the dining room is currently being made over, I thought the bedroom would be a safer place for this treasured old piece!

The beautiful brown transferware plates came from ENGLISH TRANSFERWARE, a fabulous Etsy shop owned by Nancy from NANCY'S DAILY DISH.If you are looking for transferware, she probably has it!
I think I have plates in every room!
Did you notice where my sweater pumpkin finally ended up? I purchased a thick white knitted throw for the "switcheroo" chair and thought the pumpkin looks quite at home with it!

ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful simplicity of this room Yvonne, it's very calming and fresh. I love plates on the wall too, one of my guest rooms has a large display of plates over the headboard. Thanks so much for the inspiration, I thinks this may be the look I'm after for my master bedroom.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room! What a neat idea "pumpkin sweater".
ReplyDeleteA guest would be very comfortable staying in this lovely room Yvonne. The plates are the perfect touch!

You know the entire transformation of this room has been absolutely amazing - it looks PICTURE PERFECT - and I would stay there, um, for as long as you would allow!
ReplyDeleteIt is peaceful calm and beautiful - and one of your sweater pumpkins is perfectly situated right where it sits.
Very well done, Yvonne. Looks stunning, really.
It's a beautiful room. I love the plates and the pumpkin is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI think your guests will love this room, Yvonne...it's so peaceful and serene. The plates look great in that narrow space, just perfect. And I love your sweater pumpkin!

My favourite part of decorating is when I walk into the room after it's done and admire the fruit of my labour! Your room is a delight to the eyes. It has a serene look. The colour scheme is very relaxing and it is not cluttered. There is breathing space. I like that! I love those multi-paned windows and the window treatment you have chosen. The plates contribute this special touch thus providing just enough eye candy. Without doubt, one would sleep very well in this lovely environment you have created!
ReplyDeleteI'm making my reservations today Yvonne! I love everything about this room! I have the euro shams that match your duvet, I just took them off my bed when I changed to my winter bedding. Another room done to perfection my friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a calm and inviting environment you created Yvonne. The colors are soothing and the room has an easy elegance. I love the addition of the plates. It really gives it a finished look. Your guests are not going to want to leave. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas. Have a great week.
ReplyDeletei could just see myself as a guest in that room yvonne...you might never get rid of me!
ReplyDeletethat sweater pumpkin looks right at home with your throw...i'm looking for one for my new sofa in the den but don't want to spend big $$ b/c hubby will be using it and he's kinda rough with things (LOL)...so the hunt continues. if i knew how to knit i'd make one but i've never learned how to knit.
hope you are having a wonderful week.
Beautiful! I am in love with your pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday.

This room is stunning...from the coverlet on the bed to the plates on the wall. Such a warm, welcoming place. The sweater pumpkin is indeed perfect too!
ReplyDeleteYour guest room turned out so well! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the planning stages of decorating any room, but I'm with you - adding those final details and seeing everything finally come together is by far the best part. You certainly pulled all those final details together perfectly, because your guest room is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous room! I love the addition of the plates! It's such an inviting space!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, this room is just gorgeous! love the plates, and I adore transferware-you found the perfect pieces. I have the same pb duvet cover, but in the grey/blue tones and love it. I'm posting about it tomorrow =)
ReplyDeleteMy master is in a state of chaos so do you think I can come and stay in your very beautiful and very restful guest room! Truly lovely and the sweater pumpkin (which, by the way is my all time favorite) really does look right at home!
