My daughter's room becomes a guest room for Christmas. It looks pretty much the same as last Christmas, except for a few changes. The red gingham heart pillow was in the 'As Is' section at IKEA for $1.99. I bought three, because if you are going to save money, save it on more than one, right? My husband says I sure do save a lot of money this way. Valentine's is coming...
I tried to simplify this space, since Swedish Country really is simple with clean lines. I love details, but sometimes I overdo it!
The deer head was a real find and I gave it a makeover. Will share soon, but for now, he hangs in this room to add some whimsy.
I love quilts. They have such personality. Antique and vintage ones are so lovely, but they cost a pretty penny. I found this one at Tuesday Morning. Quilts by Ralph Lauren are well-made and beautiful; however, I would not pay full price. These were another great find and lend to the 'country' feel of the room. My sister bought one, too!
A side view...the wreath is covering up some extra holes I put in the wall, and the nest is masking where the paint began to chip...I made the wreath last year by wrapping some stems together.
This year, I added a tiny tree to the Dutch secretary. Otherwise, nothing new here! Click the link, if you want to see this makeover.
I think it would be great to sleep in here with this little tree as your night light!
You can see the sock garland and how I made it here.
Big Betty (the bunny) has seen a lot of lovin' from my kids. She is a keeper. I just look at her and can picture one of them dragging her around. The little mouse came from IKEA.
Thanks for stopping by on the eve of Christmas Eve!
