The Blue Guest Room: A Small Look

I could not resist these tulips today.  I spied them as I bought groceries for dinner.  I thought they would look very pretty in the new blue room, and they do!  We bought the pretty green vase at an art school ceramics sale a while ago. The blue guest room is slowly coming together.  Here is a very small peek at the room - notice the new fabric in the shot.  You will see these curtains very soon, once they are properly hung!The Pottery Barn white bedside tables have arrived.  I like them, but just found out that the tables I really wanted are suddenly available for shipping to Canada (Pottery Barn called the day these arrived!).  So I will not show you the tables until I figure out what I'm doing in the furniture department.The bedding arrived today and is not yet on the bed, and I purchased a frame to use in framing some art I've selected for the room.  Once it's all organized, I will share with you!  So far, the room is soft and pretty and restful - just what I'd wished for...

And congrats to Clara Hughes on her Bronze medal today.  Clara and I go to the same chiropractor, who is with her in Vancouver at the Olympics.  I admire Clara so much (and miss my chiropractor terribly).  Way to go Clara!!

  8. I can't wait to get the full reveal - the fabric looks beautiful, the perfect shade of gray for the silvery blue in your room!

    I can never resist a beautiful bouquet of tulips. Did I tell you that my bridesmaids (almost 18 years ago) carried a simple bouquet of white tulips in my wedding! It makes me feel rather proud that I resisted the trend at the time to do elaborate arrangements.

  15. Hi Terri!

    Wow, the room is beautiful! I love all the details, how the pink mixes with the cool blue and green shades :)

    I really like the white bedside table! And I can't wait to see more of the curtains, really like the color and the pattern!

    Hope that all is well with you both! We have been skiing all well and so I haven't had time to check the blogs.

    Hugs and have a great week!
