Guest Room Ready

Today is my hubby’s birthday; he’s 48.  Six months younger than me {I  know, I was a cradle robber}.   His oldest sister is coming to visit us from New York today {staying for the weekend} to surprise him for his birthday.  I had about a week in between my son’s leaving from his visit and my SIL’s visit to get the guest room in shape again.

I think she will be comfortable in this room.

I’m letting her look at some of my new magazines.  The remote is handy for any late night or early television watching she might want to do. 

Once she is here, I’ll bring in a couple of bottles of water and, maybe, I’ll share my chocolate.  Maybe.

See those two side tables? They are on the list to be painted.  They go with the bookcases that are in my sunroom {you’ll see them next week}.  I’m thinking of trying the ASCP French Linen and these two pieces are just two of the pieces I’d like to try with that paint.

As soon as I make the last monthly tuition payment for my son’s college for this semester, I’m ordering an upholstered headboard for this bed.  It’s got a linen-like slipcover to it.   I’d also like to get a Frenchy looking sign to put over it; I’m not sure what ~ maybe “Guests”, maybe “Sweet Dreams”, any ideas?

Now I’ve got to go pick her up at the airport.  Since hubby is home my excuse for going out is to return something to Hobby Lobby.  I expect his eyes will glaze over at that announcement and the surprise will be pulled off!  Fingers crossed!

I will announce the winner of the I Brake For Yard Sales book giveaway tomorrow morning!
