A Challenge!

Funky Junk Interiors is having a challenge. Click here to read more . I think my picture perfect room shall be the guest room! It is currently the junk room and I mean JUNK! Mr H and I have been itching to get this room done and since I am "laid off" work for about 6 weeks, I think this is the time to get it done!
So I will chart my progress on here with before, during and after pictures of this main event.

First things first though, I must get the Christmas decor down. Now that holiday vacations are over, my son is back at base, I can focus on getting the decor down this week and begin the project either this weekend or next Monday. Meanwhile, I do need to plan on a color/decor scheme/theme and get material to make curtains as well as I want to make a visitors center to hang on the wall.

A few years ago, I stayed at someone's home during a vacation and she had a piece of stretched canvas covered in fabric with some ribbon crisscrossed and it was able to hold pictures, menus, sightseeing places etc. I made several of these years ago, but have since "lost" mine due to moving etc. We have so many historical and fine dining places in the area and these would be perfect to put on the visitors board as well as some postcards from the area.

Other things I would like to add to this room is a basket with soaps and lotions as well as a vase for fresh flowers from the garden (or the store depending on the time of year) Anything to make an overnight visitor feel welcome.

The room is not very big by any standards, but will do fine for guests.
