My Home: Guest Bedroom + $81 + sonnet lxix.

Our guest room got a wee facelift with:

(shell motif and snagged for $75!),
dropleaf table ($5),
little white chair ($1),
and Louis chair (free from mom). 

White paint (Benjamin Moore, white dove)
unites everything.

  23. Goodness grief what a stunner of a room. Somehow I find it appropriate that my landscape provides a subtle burst of color in an otherwise immaculate setting, because I would be a brute and a terror myself in a white room. I shudder to think what horrid dirt and stains I'd leave behind without trying to. Really lovely!
