One Big Change ... and a whole lot of little ones

For several months I have been searching for a cabinet for our guest room and I finally found one.

This beauty was my inspiration - we've been working on scaling down the size of the furniture in each room to give the illusion of space.

I was really excited when I spotted this at The Great Junk Hunt at our local fairgrounds - the color isn't true due to the lighting in the building.

I love the cabinet in the room - the color is just what I had in mind.

I'm not sure exactly what I want to keep in the cupboard - books and a few craft items are perfect for now.

One item that will definitely stay in the cupboard is the box of 1946 crayons - a gift from my son and his wife found when we were in Kauai for Christmas.

Glass knobs replace the stark white knobs.

And then, after that one big change, a lot of little changes began.

Red and white pillows were replaced by pin tucked IKEA pillows and Mr. Goose came down from the attic.

I went with soft colors on the table and old door

and used dried roses to create a romantic look in the room.

The old ladder sitting in my garden house was brought in until I can find the perfect chair for this spot.

I love having favorite books on hand and the ladder gives me a place to set them out.

I ran out of roses so the dresser got chamomile or feverfew -

I can''t ever tell the difference.

 I resorted to faux tulips in the bedside cabinet because I never remember to change the flowers.

The guest room is fresh and awaiting any visitors

and Lulu has given her seal of approval.
