I added a few little things to my guest room, just in case you stop by for a visit.
As you can see the be BEFORE photo below, the shutters behind the bed add interest, but I thought I still needed a focal point.
So I added this simple botanical print. As is often the case, I shopped my house. The price is always right!
To hang the artwork it was easy to find the center. Since the dead center would be in-between the two shutters, I used hanging hardware that uses two nails instead of just one. One nail went in the left shutter and the other one went in the right one. I used the same kind shown here at Amazon (not a sponsored link) but these can probably be found locally as well.
I also added a duvet at the foot of the bed. I love how it makes the bed look so inviting. I bought some vintage linen sheets recently and since I haven’t had time to sew a duvet cover yet, I simply wrapped the duvet in the linen sheet. I could get used to these no sew projects! I knew you wouldn’t mind.
I brought in some fresh roses for you too. While I’m waiting for you, I think I’ll just take a little catnap. *yawn*
It’s a beautiful room, Anita. I love your toile bedding and I like to put a big fluffy comforter at the end of my bed, too ~ it looks so comfy. No sew projects are the best kind too!!
Great idea! It’s amazing how such a little thing can instantly finish a look. The entire room is beautiful.
Love it all, Anita. If I come I may never leave.
The simple touches make the room comfy and cozy. I love what you have done.
Anita, love your guest room! I’d never want to leave because it’s so inviting! I absolutely love the shutters behind the bed and on the windows and the fresh roses are heavenly! Love the color.
I’ll be right over!!! Love the roses, so wonderful in this COLD!!!
Very inviting Anita! Looks like a bed and breakfast I would never want to leave!

Such a lovely and inviting room. I adore the toile bedding, and I agree, having a comforter at the foot of the bed really adds that cozy feeling! What a difference it makes to add just that one special piece! Beautiful room!

Lovely, Anita! I don’t think I would ever want to leave! The shutters are a great statement piece! I also love the way you placed the picture- so inviting!
Lucky guests who get to stay in this beautiful room.
Happy New Year, Anita……..Sarah
Such a warm and inviting room. Luv the toile bedding!
Happy New Year, Gee
Anita,
Freshening the Guest Room often puts me into the “nap” mode!!! I read once where you should spend a night in your Guest Room, so you’ll know if anything is missing before your Guest arrive. I’m afraid I’d realize what a great room it is and never get back to my own! Ha!!!
Your Guest Room is lovely! The addition of the print above the bed is like 7 minute icing on a red velvet cake!!! Simply divine!!!
Have a Happy new Year, dear friend!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Your guestroom is so inviting and beautiful, Anita! I would love to come and spend some time in this pretty room!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Beautiful, inviting, and charming room! Love the linens!
I found you over @ DIY Show Off – lovely room. I especially love the bedding.

Who wouldn’t want to stay in your guest room? It’s so pretty and inviting. I love your tip of wrapping the duvet in a sheet, perfect for non-sewers.
Your room is very pretty, Anita, and the new touches are lovely. I especially like the shutters and the basket at the end of the bed. The wood chest of drawers/dresser is a stunning piece. Wishing you and your loved ones all the best in this New Year!
That’s a very pretty room. Great job!

I am also inviting you to join Tiddle Diddle Handmade Shoppe’s first giveaway event.
I was wondering what item number for the louvered doors you used from Lowes. It really is beautiful. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks,
Joshua
Joshua I am not sure. Sorry!!
