Garden Style Guest Room

We love having guests come to visit.  We recently made some changes to the guest room, thanks to a giveaway I won on Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch's blog.  She was sponsoring a giveaway by Mary @ A Great Impression.  Thanks so much to Mary and Susan!

 I was so happy to win and chose some birds on a branch.  I knew exactly where I wanted to hang it.


Once it was up, I thought something else was needed above the beside table.  I painted a white shelf green, then added some little numbered jars, a birdhouse, nest and cast iron bird.  I cut the lavender from my garden and love how it adds some color.





My husband made the headboard several years ago.  I still love it.



 
The burgundy scale was my Mom's.  After she passed away, my Dad gave it to me.  I adore it!
  



  
My husband made this birdhouse bench years ago.  I still love it too!

Thanks for coming by!

    Pam, great minds think alike! I just showed MY new guest room on my Thursday post too - - - - only mine isn't as "refined" as yours!

    You have a lovely guest room. The scale is a great keeper piece and I have never seen one in burgundy before.
