The master guest room is filled with
yellow, blue, green and painted white
furniture. Here are the after photos:
The chippy green picnic basket was found at the
Canton, TX Antiques market. It's topped with a
Longaberger lidded cake basket and a straw hat.
All the fabrics including liners, table topper,
drapery panels, and bedding are from Longaberger.
The lamp is filled with shells collected long
ago by daughter Kim on beach vacations.
A small bench holds a large collection of
hand crocheted thrifty throws.
Larry built this small ladder for me.
I painted it blue and use it to
hang a few vintage quilts.
The quilts are topped with pillowcases hand trimmed
with heart crochet and patchwork squares.
Those are topped with monogrammed and
a few vintage handkerchiefs.
I left the antique mirror above the dresser
in it's original wood. I'm still deciding if I want
to paint that white too.
We added beadboard to the lower wall and
painted it yellow. ( Newborn by Glidden)
The wall above is washed in leftover blue paint.

The king-size bed fits on the window wall.
The two night tables on each side of the bed
have a pair of Portmeirion lamps.
I found them on clearance at Marshall's years ago.
A small Portmeirion clock, a beverage basket,
a crystal water caraffe and glass and a few books
were also added. A stack of Longaberger
baskets on the side is used for extra storage.
An antique wicker standing sewing basket.
A needlepoint covered brick is used for a door stop.
These were very popular to make years ago.
This one was my mother-in-law's.
I found this old, very heavy, solid wrought iron
headboard on Craigslist for $20.
I just sprayed it white.
Another throw is draped at the foot of the bed.
This one was found for $4 and matched the
room colors perfectly.
Here's the dresser before we painted it white.
We found the three pieces on Craigslist for $65.
After painting.
The two night tables before.
Painting everything white.
We removed the hardware and
left that the dark bronze color.

The old furniture in the room.
This is the set we took to Texas and painted black for
our granddaughter's bedroom. You can see that HERE.
