When I posted my family room, some readers told me they wanted to see what was upstairs where the balcony is that overlooks the family room. I had house guests this past weekend, so I finally HAD to get the upstairs cleaned up for them. I thought I'd better share the upstairs while it is cleaned up! We converted attic space to guestrooms. I'm afraid all of the "left over" furniture is what got stuck upstairs, so it has become a VERY casual space that is used by my grandchildren as well as guests. For someone who might be a first time visitor to my blog, I will again post my disclaimer. I am not a decorator. I am not a designer. I am not posting photos of my home to demonstrate how to decorate. (The photos may demonstrate how to not decorate). I am posting photos of my home because readers have asked me to post them. I am linking to Mosaic Monday at Little Red House. Thank you Mary for hosting Mosaic Monday. You know I love mosaics!
If you love mosaics as much as I do, don't forget you can find the links at Little Red House. Thank you so much for coming to visit our guest rooms. laurie
I love it, Laurie. I know guests at your home and your grandchildren, enjoy staying in these wonderful rooms.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!!
Love the rooms Laurie! I really like the old sugar/flour sack pillows on the chairs in the cowboy room. Boy, my great nephew would have loved to stay in a room like that when they were visiting. And love the sign! Thanks for sharing. Kathy

ReplyDeleteI am still laughing at the "Duck Head" sign. Laurie, if you want another career, you could probably start a B&B.

Hi Laurie....
ReplyDeleteYeah, you MAY say you're not a decorator, but I think you do a GREAT job. I think that's what "home" is all about....making it yours and making a cozy, happy place. You, my dear friend, WIN on both counts. I'm sure everyone who stays feels VERY welcomed and at home....
BRAVO!
Hugs,
Spencer
PS.....Have a wonderful week!

Hello Dearheart...
ReplyDeleteOhhhh...what a treat!!! Girl, I think this is the very first time that I've seen your upstairs Guest Quarters!!! I just love it...it's just as beautiful and charming as the rest of your lovely home!!! I love the cowboys...too cute!!! How nice to have a quest room for boys...a guest room for girls...and a guest room for couples!!! You have each of them decorated so beautifully!!! I was thinking back to when you had your male guests from New Orleans staying with you...due to the hurricane! Sheeeeshhh...no wonder they didn't want to go home!!! Hey...I have dibs on the Girl's room! Hehe!!!
Well...this really has been a treat!!! Thank you for sharing more of your fabulous home with us, Girlfriend!!!
