I found the bedding at TJ Maxx...nice...simple and white. I don't have stock in TJ Maxx but I should. You can get such wonderful stuff there for a great price. The headboard is from a bed that belonged to my great grandmother. I have the rest of the bed, but the rails and footboard don't seem to want to stay in place. So, we attached the headboard to the wall and just used a metal bedframe to hold the mattress and springs.
The lamps and tables are vintage and came from that great Pontiac store, Old City Hall Shoppes. ;o) Stop by if you need similar items at your house...we'll be happy to help you out. The chair is from Pier One. The artwork is some that I bought at the farmer's market in Hilo, HI.
The colors in the room came from the art.
I really like how this window over the stairwell turned out. At night if you leave the stair light on, it's like having a little night light in this room. Very cozy. Our house has had quite a bit of remodeling done on it before we came, so I don't feel the need for true restoration (it's too far gone for that) and can just renovate...adding quirky things if we want, and staying within the spirit of a folk victorian.

Well... very nice! Personally I love the bedding from Tj Maxx!! :):)
Wow, that turned out great!
Beautiful guest room!!! I wish our bedroom looked that nice! And did I spot a sewing machine table there, that might have been redone? Very nice!
And I think it was you (I think it was you, right???) that I was going to tell you when the garden walk was in St. Joseph? I am so sorry - I forgot!!! It ended up to be the same weekend our dtr graduated from college (May 22), so I had just put it out of my mind, and it was a tough choice! (smile!)
I am off for the summer so am finally catching up on my blog reading!
Have a great day!
Hugs from Michigan - Diane
ps-the word to write in is my dtrs name!!! weird!!!
Yup, that was me Diane! Maybe next year I will get to go do the garden walk. This year my son got married on June 12, so we were swamped with things to do right up until then. I haven't been to the lake yet this year :(
My folks are up there right now...I'm jealous!
