Guest Room Makeover!!!!

As I start to write, I remember I FORGOT to buy tulips 
to put in the milk glass vase right beside the bed... 
Awwww... 
I will do that in the next few days and update this post! 
Otherwise it will never get done! 
So here it is, TA-DAAAAAA!!!!!

Isn't it pretty??? 
Note the Sparkly Chandelier!!! 
It looks so much better on the ceiling, LOL!

This "bedside" lamp I got for $40 on Craigslist... I thought it looked so cute...
Note the milk glass vase, "sans" tulips... 
The picture shows my mom, my mother-in-law and my son when he was about 5 years old... 
I always think of my mom in this room. 
She was the first one to stay here so I designed (Ikea mostly, at the time) for her. 
Now it is updated with Craigslist finds and Condensed Love...

She now has a little mat to put her feet when she gets out of bed.
I HAD to get this Ikea comforter cover just because it had pink roses on it. 
It matches with the pink mirror...

I painted this Table and Mirror not too long ago...

You can see better here.



I don't get tired of looking at it!!! I want to lie down on that bed right now... 

Here is the chandelier again!!! Sorry, I started using a Mac instead of my laptop, everything is confusing... Give me a few days... For now, the photos will be out of order!!!

Ikea dressers from a long time ago...

My paper flowers moved from the fireplace to here!

These red candles were given to me in a hotel in Paris. The pictures are both from the Notre Dame. 
A guy was selling them in front of the Louvre and I bought I think both for 25 Euros...
Of course, it cost more than $100 to frame each at Michael's.

The roses in the jar are from Superstore, they look like they are made of wood? But they are light. And unscented. I thought it would look better than the old green popourri (spelling???) I had there.

If you are lying down on the bed, here is what you see... the tree in front of the neighbour's house.

 I have to show the lights again...

And the bed...
Hey, it looks like someone was on that pillow already!!!

Update: Tulips!!!

    1. Hi, Dee!!!
      Thank you so much for coming over!!!
      I got this tutorial for the flowers, I posted it here,
      it came for another blogger. She actually did them in brown paper. But I made mine in ivory paper and I put a little sticker in the middle. It cost me $10 for this project!
      You can always take them down when they get dusty!To stick them in the wall I used a double sided sticky little square, in the tutorial she said to use glue dots.
      Check this post and it will lead to the tutorial:

      I was telling Kika I have to be careful not to make the house look like it belongs in the interior of Brazil, like a little ran down house... This room is kind of borderline grandma/little house on the Prairies house, lol!
      Last night David snored so much I seriously thought about going to sleep there!!!

  16. Your room turned out so fantastic. I am LOVING the chandy and the paper flowers on the wall. They look fabric almost in the photos. I'd love, love, love to have them in my bedroom. I see above you've shared a tutorial - I will def be checking it out but I doubt if mibe will turn out as pretty as yours. Thanks for sharing. I am coming to you from "fridays unfolded"

    1. Hi, Roxanne!!!
      Thank you so much for the kind comment!!! I am so glad you liked it!!! At first I put the flowers in my fireplace...
      I saw the lady (from the tutorial) making these on Nate Berkus Show! I bought my bags at Walmart, they cost more I think about $10 for 2 packs of bags. I made all the flowers you can see from those bags. I put a little sticker in the middle but you can even put a button or just roll a piece of paper and put in the middle. Such a great effect!
      I a very happy how this room turned out with thrifty things!!! Thanks for coming over!!
