Guess I Didn't Think That One Through

It really doesn't seem right that the most decorated rooms in our house are areas used mostly by other people. I get why I started with the bathrooms- they are so much smaller and easier than all the other rooms- but I still don't understand how the guest bedroom ended up with nicer bedding than the master. Hopefully, that problem will be remedied by the end of the year (although the most beautious of all the beddings is no longer on sale for the "lowest price of the season" causing the price to almost double). I wish we had Marshall's as they often have the aforementioned beautious bedding for a fraction of the cost.

Anyway, several weeks ago I did make the trek to Salt Lake and I did buy lovely, lovely things for the guest bedroom. The bedding below is from Linens and Things. I almost through a hissy fit when I found out they were, in fact, closing all the remaining stores but remained calm after I found out this comforter set was not on sale. The little brown pillow in the middle is from TJ Maxx. I still need something for over the bed, aside from the awful mirrored headboard. I have something in mind- it is just a matter of finding something that matches the picture.

Here is the dresser. Ignore the fact that it is white and gold and shiny and horrible. It also has a shiny mirror that goes above it which I have banished to the closet. I will be looking for something more suitable to go on this wall as well.

Here is an up-close of the candles on the side of the dresser. I placed some brochures on the other side so people could see what there is to do in these parts when they are visiting. I got the candles and stands at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and the plate and orbs at this store called Tai Pan Trading which is quite possibly the Mecca of well priced decorations.

The guestroom also sports a wardrobe and bedside table that match the shiny dresser. I am trying to decide what, if anything I can go to remedy the shininess- or at least if I am capable enough to make a headboard that isn't a mirror. Until then, I will just keep reminding myself that the shiny furniture was free.

So there is your first look into our house, my fives and fives of readers. I really didn't think it through very well but at least now people will have a nice place to live when they come visit. So I think they all should come visit...
