Welcome to my OtHeR Guest Bedroom!

Looking in from the doorway. I made the silk curtains.
 Welcome to my second guest bedroom. This room was so fun to put together...mostly with garage sale finds, some antiques and lots of love! Enjoy

All 3 garage sale finds. I added the things inside the frames and jar.

Frame from TJ Maxx, Antique baby cabinet card photo.
Flying angel from TJ Maxx; Rose picture from a local boutique.
Found this dresser at a garage sale for $25. I loved the detail. I painted and distressed it but kept the original hardware.

Tassel from Hobby Lobby.

Ethan Allen 3 tier stand, $1 from garage sale!

Santos Doll from Jeffery Alan store, crown is a Christmas ornament from Hobby Lobby.

Plate, 50¢ from garage sale.

from garage sale.

Birdcage, $2 at garage sale.

My Great Grandma's china. Doily and books from garage sales.

Bird from Hobby Lobby. Doily made from flax grown in Germany by my Great Grandma, woven then made into a dresser scarf and tatted by her as well.
She died in 1980 at the age of 80.

Needlepoint roses in frame from antique store $25. Two charcoal prints from garage sale $1 each.

  5. Love your wired lamp stand and I have the same plate you have, but mine is a platter shape that I got at Salvation Army. The pink floral is so pretty.
