I have made a few changes in one of the guest rooms
and thought this a good time to share.
The iron headboards are fairly new.
I bought this hand painted Nest wood wall art
and the 2 bird bed pillows
from Etsy quite a while ago.
The wall lamps and quilted shams are old PB.
The wooden cross is from Israel -
a lovely house warming gift from my in-laws.
~~~~~*~~~~~
The large metal antique French cherub lamp
is a recent auction win.
The duvet covers and bed skirts are RL
from his nautical collection some years back.
The wall colour is SW's "Khaki."
The wicker chair & pad is P1I.
This is just a simple bird-themed room,
minimalistic in design and cozy to the soul.
(And waiting for you to come visit and fill our home with your friendship!)
All the wall art and pillows have birds on them -
thus the reason we named this room "The Aviary."
Yes, I name rooms and homes -
I think I should like need to own a B and B!
It houses my mother's antique commode
and my Aunt's chippy antique child's rocking chair-
with her delightful needlepoint bottom.
She gave this to me the same year
as my daughter was born-
the daughter for whom she was named.
♥
Eventually, of course, it is intended for her
but for now resides happily here with us.
I recently upgraded the blinds in here -
these are 2" Hunter Douglas room darkening
wooden shade blinds that lift and pull
versus using a pulley system.
I also dropped the crazy money upgraded
to also have the wooden valance.
I used to have plain linen drapes/curtains
hanging from a white wooden rod in here
but I am liking this simplicity for now.
It's not fussy.
That can be a good thing sometimes.
(Apologies for sharing this awful hazy. grainy photo- I just couldn't get a good pic!)
My "Faith" metal sign is a gift from my tea sister-friend MD
and my lovely collection of Jane Austin novels
is a cherished Christmas gift from my wonderful husband.
As always, thank you so much for your visit!
♥

Michele- The Aviary is just gorgeous. I love the sweet simplicity of it. You have done a great job pulling everything together and I love the soft, restful tones in the room. Love the blinds, too. I have a few rooms that still need them. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteMichele your guest bedroom is very cozy and comfortable looking. I love the old rocker and the bird theme as well. I'm liking your HD blinds. I didn't know slat blinds could be room darkening. I'd love to have them for our bedroom and will look in these. Now. When did you say this room is available? :) Hugs. Pam
ReplyDeleteBeautiful guest room! It is very calming and relaxing...Christine
ReplyDeleteLove your Santos and that rocker, Michele! Such a comfortable looking room. I just got an iron headboard {and footboard} more on that when it arrives.
ReplyDelete(Have heard you drop the line about a B&B more than once. Are you kidding? Somehow I don't think so. My sister and I planned to open one, but could never get over the jitters. We had dear friends in the business so felt we had an inside look...still.)
ReplyDeleteLove this room! Book me for the first weekend in whenever. =D
This room looks so peaceful and serene. I could certainly be happy as a guest. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your tour Michele and your simple makeover. Sometimes that is the best and most relaxing of all and I always have to fight my inclination to overcrowd a room.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been out visiting blogs this summer at all, so I'm glad I chose your welcoming guest room to be my first stop. I feel very welcomed with all your lovely treasures.
I've been so busy, I don't know where the summer went, but with a sore back, I decided to really slow down and give myself an evening in blogland. I hope you've have had a nice summer and are well.

The room looks sooo relaxing! The beds look comfy and the colors so soothing. Fabulous. I love that you named the room the aviary,... so fitting.

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThis room is so beautiful. I love the nest sign and all the pretty touches you did to the room. The room looks so cozy and peaceful. A nice stay for your guests.
Kris
Oh yes, my kind of room to stay in for I love bird decor as much as flowery things. Your guest room looks cozy Michele and it would be delightful to come for a visit.
ReplyDeleteI see it's almost time for lunch....I'll bring my favourite kind of tea to share with you.
Judith
Your aviary themed room is serene and beautiful, Michele, and just perfect for guests. xo

ReplyDeleteWhat a BEAUTIFUL room! I simply love it...so peaceful and serene! Sending hugs...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully cozy room, Michele! You know I love the wall art of the nest and the birdie theme throughout. The rocker is darling! I would feel right at home in there. Thank you for sharing with us at my HOME and have a delightful weekend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Just lovely. What a comfortable place for your guests to enjoy! Love what you did to the windows too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so lovely. I like the color you choose and the things you put in it are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love this theme. Well done! SO sweet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Michele, love its simplicity and especially the nest picture. I would sleep there any night and would probably not want to get out of bed in the morning.
ReplyDeletevery pretty room, michele, i esp. love that you included family and friends gifts:) happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI can easily imagine snoozing in this lovely room! It's simple but with all the right touches. We have turned down a few B&B's that were over decorated. You're all set! The guest houses we have stayed in abroad are often just a room in someone's home. I love all the birds of course, and that wonderful heirloom chair! (Thanks so much for your very nice praise over on my post. ;0))
ReplyDeleteOh My! This looks like such a calm and restful place to spend the night. I love the color!! :) I also love the Jane Austen touch! :)
ReplyDelete~Liz
Beautiful! You really have such a classic decorating style, not too much, not too little -- I hope to develop such taste myself one day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a welcoming guest room! It's light and airy and creatively decorated. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis room is beautiful and so welcoming and I love the two twin beds. I would love to be a guest there.
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty guest room! It's so bright and comfy looking! I could stay there for sometime.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Looks very restful and relaxing! Guests would love this room.
ReplyDeleteHow did your pie turn out?! I can't wait to hear how you liked it. Also, I forgot to ask what paint color and brand that is on your guest room. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteMichele,

I love this room. What a cozy and welcoming room. The colors are soothing and warm. The vintage chair is a great addition to the space.
ReplyDeleteFor the hurricane devastated properties, speedy recovery can be provided by the best builders and contractors. They provide their clients with full inspection report along with home repair proposal and written cost estimation. The customers find the process easy.
ReplyDeleteAny birdie would be so happy to land in your aviary Michele! And yes, you would be the best host of a B & B. You know that I love your bird theme! I also love the color of your Santos doll. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,

Hello Michele, this is such a lovely, themed bedroom, so serene. I love that it is filled with these bird-themed items and things that have been gifted to you - it would be a blessing to be your guest. I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
