Progress in Two Rooms

We've made a bit of progress in home decorating. We now have a sofa and loveseat, TV console, ceiling fan and light, and area rug in the family room.





























Also, I've been working on one of the guest rooms. It's quite small and probably won't be used much--company will use the larger guest room. I guess its main function will be for me to display my old-fashioned things! The piece I'm using as a nightstand is an antique washstand that was in my mother's home when she was growing up. I'll have to keep my eye open in resale or antique (or junk!) shops for a nightstand for the other side. I have an antique dresser in there also but you can't see it in the pictures.

The curtains and coverlet look blue but are really aqua. The pictures on each side of the window are counted cross stitch that my daughter-in-law Kathi made for me a few years ago. You may recall seeing them in the dining room in our Waterford house. They're peach flowers with green/aqua leaves. The quilt on the bed was made for me by my mother several years ago. It's the Dresden Plate pattern and I love the decorative edging that she added. I have several other quilts from my grandmothers and great-aunts that will look nice in there too if I want a change.
