The New French Farmhouse Guestroom

The guestroom that used to be filled with lots of red is now much calmer and serene with newly painted white walls, neutral bedding. and changed out art and accessories all by using what I already had on hand except for one new picture I picked up at an antique market last month.

So come on in.....

I'm so glad I have my stash to pull things from since I change things frequently. I replaced the red ticking bed skirt with my favorite buffalo checked one that started out in the master years ago, then the other guestroom, and now this room.

I had almost gotten rid of this starburst mirror, that I bought at Hobby Lobby years ago, and I'm glad I didn't. I have tried two different paintings over the bed and this mirror and the mirror won.....for now.

Off whites with just a touch of the palest blue is all that's needed on the bed along with this grain sack pillow.

I moved the pair of cow prints from the foyer, they hung on the wall over the stairs, to this wall close to the bed.

I moved this gray chair in here from the other guest room and added a soft blue throw.

This is the new painting I bought at an antique market last month. I tried this over the bed, but with the glare from the windows you couldn't see the picture. I love the peaceful church scene. The artist info is attached to the back.

Instead of the red bench that was in this spot I stacked these old lidded baskets. I recently decided to paint the top one.

I replaced the old trunk with this table I bought and made over last year and I replaced the red lamps with these from the other guestroom.

On the table is a majolica dish so our guests have a place to set their loose items like jewelry and change.

I always keep some reading material in the room.

I kept the same table on the other side and added this ironstone bowl filled with fishing floats and a clock.

These are just for fun.

The post about the armoire transformation is here.

New wall paint color is White Dove by Benjamin Moore and the new carpet is by Mohawk.

I'm loving the lighter brighter feel in this room!

All the red bedding and accessories I had are saved for now to be used in the bonus room which has the extra guest bed in it. I need to clean that room out and prime and paint it. Another project on the list of things to do.

Have an awesome week!
