Can you believe spring is only a few weeks away? We have been having some very spring like weather lately. I'm sure it will get cold again though. Before the spring decorating commences I figured I would share the farmhouse style guestroom in it's winter look this year since it has been this way since Christmas.
If you are new here this is the room I have fun with and add the farmhouse style that I would love to do a whole house in if we ever downsize.
I'm using grays and reds in flannel and cotton using things I have on hand. This plaid duvet cover from L.L. Bean that I bought a couple years ago is so soft. I wish I had a shirt made out of it.
I love to mix patterns. The gray checked pillows are also flannel and mix well with the ticking, stripes, and plaid on the bed.
Sign and painting from different antique fairs.
I keep saying I'm going to add casters to the bottom of the trunk to lift it up and I forget to buy any. So I use stacked books to raise the lamp up.
This barn wood framed barn winter scene will soon be replaced with something for spring or just put away until next winter. This old trunk was one of Mr. Savvy's and my first antique purchases a gazillion years ago for $35. It is in it's original condition. I need to show y'all the inside some time. I haven't looked in it in years.
The Pottery Barn striped chair moved to this room from the sun room since I have removed the red from that room for now.
Tattered quilts sit on the worn red bench.
This room is what I call collected farmhouse.
I'm meeting some fellow bloggers today for lunch.
Y'all have a good one!

ReplyDeleteShelley
Thank you, Shelley!
DeleteWhat a great room and I LOVE the red!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Darrielle!
DeleteRed the new neutral here with you, you have a way of carrying out a tone on tone feel and the touches of red fit seamlessly right in place.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful guest room, and I know I have told you this many time before.
Looking forward to what spring brings.
Maybe a bit of spring fever and we see some surprises with you here.
You always have a way with a build up to a surprise or two here.
Xx
Cheers to spring days ahead of you.
Dore
Thanks, Dore. Haven't started spring decorating yet, but will soon I'm sure.
DeleteWhat a clever simple solution to your lamp height problem!! I am going to post this on my facebook page!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy!
DeleteI love all the different textures and patterns you mixed in this room and how red ties it all together! I love the winter look and I am sure I will love the spring look as well!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be able to have lunch with other fellow bloggers. I wish I could meet other bloggers around me and get together!! Have a great day!!
Thanks and it was fun at lunch!
DeleteI absolutely love this. What a darling room. Love the trunk as a side table and the mix of fabrics. Love how you used red as a pop color. So incredible. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brooke!
DeleteThis room in all your different "spins" is always on my list of favorites. Thanks for sharing, Kim
ReplyDeleteThanks, Irishnana!
DeleteIs your bed black or oil rubbed bronze? Love the room.
ReplyDeleteIt is bronze, but very dark and looks black. Thanks
DeleteThe room looks fantastic Kim :) I wish we had some spring like weather here. It's 15 degrees at night and 35 during the day. Im so over winter :(
ReplyDeleteBrrr it's too cold for me where you live, Dawn.
DeleteThe room looks great, Kim! I still love that cow painting, and of course the touches of grain sack! You have the magic touch! I hope Miss Bailey is doing well with her recovery.

Thanks, Cindy and Bailey is doing quite well. Three more weeks to go!
DeleteYes, how is Miss Bailey? I hope her recovery is going quickly and she'll be scooting about soon. About the guest room: I am not ordinarily a fan of red in decorating, but I find this room quite charming and cheerful and cozy. I can imagine snuggling down under the blankets on a really snowy night and sleeping like a bear in a cave.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the cow painting over the bed. She is just so--"cow-y"! Nice decrating, Kim!
Bailey is good and is already trying to scoot until she realizes she is tied to her crate. Three more weeks and she will be running freely again.
Deletei have that same trunk...bought from an antique store on ventura blvd in Encino when I was in college.... I was driving by and it was out in front of the store.... I did not know how to parallel park very well so it was high stress to park.... but I wanted that trunk. It has the original steamer labels that i carefully painted around... think i had it olive green.... then yellow ..... wish i knew where to use it in my home now... it is sadly in the garage.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun room!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
Nice job! <3
I like it - a little bit of farmhouse and a bit of sophistication.
ReplyDeleteI love your room! I have been looking everywhere for a dust ruffle like yours for my guest room. Do you remember where you got it?
ReplyDeleteTina, it is several years old and from Pottery Barn. Thank you
DeleteCute room :)
