Don't you think?? Creams, whites and beiges ~
they all have such a calmness about them.
After deciding to put the treadmill in our bedroom,
our giant bookcase that was in there
had to be moved out and into
our guest room.
Well, after getting all the books
placed back in the shelf (can you tell I love them?!),
I decided I wanted to finally start adding some treasures to the room!

I hung these beautiful old prints over the bed
(which are still not quite even)...
Remember the mirror I added the toile wallpaper to the back?
I rested it on top of the book shelf....then....
I began digging around for a few beautiful things
to bring into this calming guest room.

I need more fluffy pillows on the bed....
I've still not decided what to place inside
of the white band that goes around the room.

It used to be a border that we painted over....Maybe old photos?
A beautiful gift arrived today from Vicki of 2 Bags Full....

Your bedroom is so sweet. It is very much a reflection of you and that is how rooms should be. I love all of your vintage items and treasures set up in little vignettes...so pretty.
I love creams too. I have a bit of color phobia but I think pastels are every bit a color as the brighter ones. Love that bookshelf. That adds some nice pops of color and makes your room your very own to spend time in.
Very nice!

The guest room looks so dreamy! I love the tiny shoes under glass. I hope your Tuesday is a sweet one too!
This guest room is like a work of art Dawn. You have made this into a haven of happiness! Any time the room is free I would love to stop by and stay a while!!!

Dawn, your guest room is just divine. I love how it looks with all of your treasures displayed so nicely. I particularly adore that fabulous cloche with the photo and baby shoes!
Oh Dawn your room is gorgeous!!! Putting vintage photos is such a great idea on the white band around the room. That would look awesome!

How gorgeous! I certainly wouldn't want to leave if I were your guest. Thank you for sharing the lovely photos with us.
Have a wonderful day! :)
Your bedroom is very calming...just lovely. How does one decorate a treadmill? ;>
That nest is amazing! Vicki is some kind of wonderful bird for certain!
in the past I have always been drawn to deeper, richer colors but of late have come to really like the creams and tans, they are indeed quite comforting. I am so glad to know I am not the only book hoarder here in blogland, I just love my books :)
Love the soft look in your guest room, Dawn! I also love how the darker pieces, like the headboard, pop off that wall color. You could do a vinyl saying/quote/phrase in a romantic, soft-looking font that applies to guests on that white striped area.
Being a guest in you guest room would be a wonderful thing ~ it's such a lovely room! I love the little cloche displays. Too sweet!!
You've been in my prayers this week Dawn....
Maybe you could offer a sepia ink pen to your guests and some old ledger paper or stationary with small stamped images on them and invite them to write a word or two about what it means to stay there ...
And you could get them started with a couple of samples....
Your guest room makes me want to drive down right now! I say leave the border plain...or maybe just some embossed paper in the same color...heck, why are you asking ME?
Your guest room is beautiful, Dawn! What a serene, cozy, warm place! And the nest is gorgeous--doesn't Vicki knit the most fantastic things? I love looking at her blog! Have a great day!
Your guest room is looking dreamy, Dawn! But what a challenge to have a treadmill in your bedroom. Wherever you will use it, right? Thanks for the nod to my giveaway. I really appreciate it. Have a lovely, creative day!
Your guest bedroom is lovely - so tranquil and serene. Anyone would be thrilled to stay there.

Hi Dear Dawn,
I ordered a hand knitted bird's nest from Vicki as well, and received it last week. I'm still so very excited about it. Aren't they amazing and beautiful?!
Bonnie
What a beautifully decorated room, Dawn! I love the calming color palette. Also, the next that you received in very lovely.
Oh Dawn, I want that bedroom and EVERYTHING that is in it!!!??? If you have guests stay there, they may never leave??? Gorgeous.
Loves, QueenMarcy
Absolutely beautiful room - let me know if you need someone to try it out!!! I love the photo in the cloche with the baby shoes.

Hi Dawn - I am sorry for being late to this party - kinda busy around here lately! This bedroom is out of this world! I don't think I have ever seen anything so beautiful! Every last detail is so "to die for"! You need to be doing interior design my dear! Your guests will not want to leave!
I am soooo thrilled that you love your little nest. All I can say is that it comes to you with much love and appreciation. I hope it brings you much pleasure~~~
Vicki
Awesome room! The border would look great with old photos,,I probably would head for the copy machine and make my own border...I havent seen that done...and you would have an original one of a kind border. Too fun! I will be starting on the spare room soon and you are so inspirational.
