I had mentioned this little area in our guest room/playroom needed some oomph…before our weekend guests arrived.
I decided to repurpose a family heirloom quilt as artwork. See the moth damage?
I cut out a small section of the quilt that I thought would work with the guest room’s color scheme and framed it up in (you guessed it) an IKEA RIBBA frame.
For a casual feel, I leaned the framed quilt against the wall. I added a sculptural IKEA table lamp (which was actually pretty fun to put together), fresh flowers atop stacked magazines and my baby shoe to finish out the tablescape.
Two clean bath towels are hung and waiting for our guests too.
The washcloths are in the dresser drawer. (I just have to remember to tell the guests that!)
This is a peppy little dresser now – full of childhood memories for me stemming from the second-hand dresser itself, heirloom quilt and baby shoe. The bottom of the wooden shoe is even engraved…although I wasn’t born until 5 days later. (Yep, now you can calculate how old I am.)
Have a great weekend! I’m going to enjoy our company! What are your plans for the weekend? Does it involve house guests? Do you do anything special to prepare for guests? Chime in.
