We are going to venture upstairs now and visit one of the guest rooms. A couple months ago when I went to the Country Living Fair with my good blogging buddy,
Shirley, I found a couple of vintage items and knew exactly how I was going to use them in my Christmas decorating.
Shirley and I both brought home an enamel bucket. I tucked in this little tree and red burlap that I had and stuck my lifesaver rings on for ornaments.
The quilted star pillow was another cute find from the fair and it goes so well in this room. I love how it looks with the very worn quilt I picked up last summer.
These rings are curtain rings that I painted red stripes on last year and they can be used as napkin rings, too.
For a fun touch I stuck one of the rings on this little dog.
I love these ticking striped flannel sheets from LL Bean and have them in three colors now.
I don't think I have shown y'all my canvas I had made from a picture I took on Martha's Vineyard back in October of a seagull in the fog. I love how it turned out.
I always have fun decorating this room.

Love the tree in the bucket and the lifesaver rings are just perfect. Great star pillow too. I agree, the striped sheets are so pretty. Lovely room. Hugs, Marty
It's all so pretty, I could move right in. Beautiful guest room, I bet they never want to leave. I really like the red, white, and blue theme it can be used in so many ways for every season.
Kim, your foyer and guest bedroom look wonderful. I love the ticking sheets. All of your touches of Christmas are lovely.
I love every bit of this room, Kim!
Kim, it's lovely. I especially like the trunk as a nightstand. What a nice and welcoming place you've created for your guests.

I am always ga-ga for nautical. Looks like a page from Coastal Living...aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
Kim, it does look like a fun room to decorate! Your guests must love staying in there. The painted curtain rings are brilliant...such a perfect touch. I may use that idea in my younger son's nautical themed room. Just adorable! I always enjoy seeing those red checked curtains too!

I love all the bedding and your cute star pillow is perfect in that room! You don't need to do much with the fun red accents already in place.
How fun! I love how you've added a little Christmas but kept with the theme of the room! Gorgeous!
Beautiful room, love the colors.
Love the tree in the bucket with the lifesaver ornaments. Love the patwork star pillow and love the canvas! That is the cutest guest room.
Oh my gosh I love the snowman stocking and of course the star pillow. I would love to learn to make stockings like that. I can see why you enjoy decorating this room!
Kim it is just darling! I love how you added a little Christmas that blends in with the rest of the room. The life savers are my favorite.
I love the room all the festive touches, I love bottle brush trees, I noticed that right away. I also like that star pillow very seet touch.

I love this room, Kim. The added touches of Christmas are perfect for a guest room. I kept mine simple, since my son will be back for Christmas and he tends to have his stuff all over the place.
I just love this room, every detail is perfection!
That room has such a cozy and welcoming feel. I love the little tree in a bucket. I remember when you made those little lifesaver rings...that was such a good idea :)
This room is so cute!! It reminds me of a model home, with the theme and all, but better of course!

Hi Kim, I have always loved this bedroom. It is so welcoming and cozy. Every addition you make to it just makes it even better.
xoxo, Kathi
How lovely! I would be deighted to stay in a guest room decorated so festively!
I had a feeling that you would be putting a tree in that great enamel bucket...looks fantastic...and that star...it looks great on the bed!!....and painting those rings was so clever!!!...Love, love how the room transformed into winter...and of course you have three sets of those sheets!!!..they are fabulous!!! Kim, you did a terrific job on the room...like a cover on a magazine...Do you hear the door bell ringing?...That's me...Miss Bailey called me and said my room is ready!! :)
This looks like such a comfy, cozy room for guests! LOVE the enamel bucket with the tree.

I love this room and the Christmas touches are adorable.
beautiful Christmas decorations. Nice job on the rings
Your guest room looks awesome Kim! Love all the Christmas decor. I always get a kick out of seeing those little lifesaver rings. So simple and brilliant!
Very pretty Kim! I love the tree in the bucket.
I could use to be a guest somewhere right now, so much to do I'd rather escape. I could be there in a day, have a mint on my pillow.
Bliss
I think I have said this before...but truly one of my favorite rooms of yours! Love how you added those special holiday touches.
Kim, Like so many others have said, the room looks great. Love the little tree and stocking. So cute! - Tonya
Oh, it is exquisite!!! I'm copying your trunk idea as I have an identical one and we love out LLBean flannel sheets as well! Tha soft green plaid ones are arriving on Wednesday....
Such a charming guest room....I love the little tree in the bucket with the red and white "lifesavers". Love all the linens you used on the bed too!

Kim!
What a fun idea to paint those curtain rings to look like life preservers! Love the one on the dog!
Kelly
Looks so cute Kim...Love the red and white sheets. I'm a big fan of red, white and blue!
The life preserver rings were my fav touch. How fun that you painted them. I love how a sprinkle of Christmas can transform the feel of a room. All your are already so pretty!!
I love your vintage Christmas guest room, Kim! The enamel bucket is perfect for your tree (love the nautical rings). And, the sheets from LL Bean look so comfy! Your guests won't want to leave!
I love this room! And your adorable little tree and a stocking made the whole room Christmas!! Sometimes less IS more! Beautiful room!
Well, if Shirley is at the door I am right there with her. I don't mind sharing a room:):) It all looks terrific, love the tree in the bucket and the star pillow is perfect! The whole room looks great all dressed up for Christmas!!! XO, Pinky
So festive! I like all the stripes and the tree in the bucket is darling :)

Kim, I love this room and LOVE LOVE LOVE the tree in the enamel bucket. By the way Kim, you'll never guess what I found at Goodwill today....a shiny white plastic cow head on a plastic plaque!! I had to search your blog to see how you transformed yours because the one I bought today needs a make-over too....LOL. Hope you are having a wonderful day, Gail
Love it! I look forward to having a guest room again one day! They stay so nice looking! LOVE the patchwork fabric star on the bed too!
I rarely have anyone in my guest room (although my dad will be here after Christmas). So, it tends to get the gifts for upcoming holidays, the ironing board, the suitcases waiting to be packed...and so on. After seeing yours...I want to throw everything away in there and start over. I am also going to immediately move my little brush tree to one of my white pitchers!
Hi Kim! The room is beautiful... you have great style! I did a few changes as you suggested... stop by when you have time!

Thanks again!
Kim, this room is perfect! It could grace the cover of Country Living! It truly is a vintage room! You did a perfect job styling it with all of the little details right down to the red and white napkin ring on the dog. You did a fabulous job on the lamp. I'd like to try finishing and old clock like that but have no idea how to do it. This room is the pefect guest room. In fact, it's so nice you might have to kick the guests out because they might not want to leave!
What a beautifully done room-love the touch of fun.
I agree with the other comments. The room is perfect. Just love the lifesaver ring around the cute little dog.
You have fun decorating it and I have fun oogling all the pictures, Kim lol. I love this room and when it is decorated for Christmas. It could be in a magazine.
Gorgeous Kim! Are you taking reservations?! Angie xo
Kim your guest room looks so pretty! LOVE those finds!They are a perfect addition!

Turn those fabulous sheets down and get ready for me! I can just imagine being tucked in there reading magazines...I adore the enamel bucket,but those shower curtain rings painted to look like life savers take the cake for me...love them!!!
It looks gorgeous, Kim. What a great guest room. Anyone would love spending the night there. I remember those life savers-love them! Hope you had a great Monday- xo Diana
I am loving the coastal/americana style! How darling this room is... I would feel right at home here. The trunk nightstand, quilts, and of course, the little potted Christmas tree really make it perfect!
Kim, I remember when you made the lifesaver napkin rings and I liked them then, but they are even better as ornaments on your tree! I am thinking about changing the color scheme of our guest room just so I can put those red ticking sheets on the bed! It's magazine worthy, I tell ya!
:) everything looks so nice! personal fave the little buoy around your dogs neck! adorable!
I just love this room and now with your vintage holiday touches it's even better. Seriously, just want to curl up under all those quilts. Excellent job. Thanks for sharing, liz
So pretty Kim. I love that Naval uniform in the bedroom, and I am thinking you said it was your husband's old one. The trunk you used beside the bed is gorgeous! Love that piece and the lamp on top. The bottle brush tree too really caught my eye.
Your attention to the details is superb. I love the nautical too--I'm a ocean lover!
If I ever come to stay for a visit...I want my bags to be taken to this room! Your touches of Christmas look so festive in this pretty, bright and well appointed room! The tree in the bucket is adorable!!! You have the touch... the Christmas touch!
Beautiful, Kim! The star pillow and little tree in the pail are adorable. Happy Holidays.
Your room is so crisp, fresh and inviting!
Love ALL your pretty details, but the lamp with its red shade upon that trunk...perfection!!
At first I thought those lifesaver rings were candy canes and I thought your granddaughter would have a field day with those:) I love your delicate touches and additions, perfect for the holidays.
You've decorated the bedroom in such a pretty and festive fashion, Kim. I love the dog with the red and white collar!
It is all lovely but especially that pillow!
I LOVE that enamel bucket! That tree looks adorable! The whole room is so cute and welcoming, those ticking sheets are great! lots of inspiration here, thanks!
Jenna
I just love it...it's Christmas but so subtle....what a beautiful room...xo
Kim,
You are so talented and creative!! Those curtain rings are awesome. I might have a bunch of those in storage.....leftovers from a job or two :)

I absolutely love your white sleigh bed. The white enamel bucket was a great find and makes an awesome container for an evergreen.
O, I just LOVE that little tree with the rings!
it looks perfect! i love all the simple subtle touches!
I've been clicking through the links on Melissa's website (starting at the beginning) and this is the first one I liked so much that I am leaving a comment! LOVE everything about this room. :-)
Beautiful room! Merry Christmas!
Hi Kim-
