~Show & Tell~

Hi Everyone!
This is my first time to do Show & Tell so I'm going to give it a shot:) BTW Kelli at http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ hosts this every Friday so if you want to join in on the fun visit her blog she always has some interesting posts, recipes and projects for you to try! Kelli's idea for this week was the master bedroom, mine is still not decorated to my liking so I'm going to share my guestroom. The patriotic quilt my daughter gave me for my birthday one year and I've always loved it and imagine my surprise when I opened my latest issue of Country Sampler and saw one like it used on a owners bed, of course she had the matching pillowshams which I wish I had but I instead bought these pillowcases on ebay, loved the extra long length of them. The nightstand I found at a yard sale, painted white, for $15.00 and then I painted it black:) On the pegrack, to the right is an old, blue, baby Amish dress and the sign I made that says Herbs & Thyme ,the patriotic angel doll I found for $3.00. The lamp is like one I just fell in love with at one time in a prim catalog but to expensive for me so.....I found the lamp part at Walmart already black and the lampshade I already had, you can't tell by the light but it is a barnred check. Oh, and the repro 1940's clock radio that I just love! Well, I've had fun doing this and I hope all of you enjoyed it, hopefully I'll be able to post the master bedroom soon. Have a great weekend!!!

  4. What a lovely little guest room. I love what you have done. I really like it all but I am always attracted to trash to treasure finds. I love the nightstand.
    Thanks for sharing it.

  11. I think it looks great - even without the matching shams. I figure prim woman in the old days wouldn't have had everything matchy matchy anyway.

    Thanks for sharing!

    hugs, Linda

  13. I love that bedroom! I loved it when you posted it on CS! I love the way you have the bed angled in the corner and I just love everything about it! The pillow shams not matching makes it even better for me!

    I just love Americana!
