Welcome back to the One Room Challenge,
where 20 bloggers are re-doing one room in six weeks.
Since I am redoing our guest room in blue and white,
I decided to add some blue to the adjoining bathroom.
Here, you can see that I’ve added a zig zag rug
and striped hand towels from West Elm.
This is my daughter’s room when she visits.
Above is her little Limoges cup that she received
when she graduated from the eighth grade
at the Marymount School of Paris.
Pretty guest soaps.
Note the coordinating paper hand towels.
Just a preview before the “Big Reveal” next week…
Li from Woody Liana is making some beautiful
pillows for the guest room.

AND…I am actually in Winter Park, Florida
right now helping a friend decorate her

University of Florida, after spring break, said
“Mom, this is going to be a Super Blog!”

Where did you get the bed?
Mary Ann says
From WS Home 10 years ago…still looks good 🙂
Caitlin ThePicketFenceProjects says
This guest bedroom is so pretty! Would you mind sharing where you got the wallpaper (or is it stencil–if so what color is the paint) and the bedding?
Thank you!

The bedroom is so fresh and bright. Blue shades are so calm and restful too for a bedroom.

Renae Moore says
Love the color on your vanity!
Do you mind emailing me the color? [email protected]
Your room is lov-er-ly. (I got the same striped hand towel in gray – love WE)
Hollie @ I'm Busy Procrastinating says
I recently purchased the same fouta hand towel from West Elm, only mine was charcoal and white. I like the way you layered them over the traditional towels to add dimension to the space.
Sherry @ No Minimalist Here says
Mary Ann, Blue and white is my favorite color combination so I know I will love your guest room! My son and his family live in Winter park and we are considering it for our future home. I hope you have time to enjoy the pretty town and shops and see some of the gorgeous homes of Winter Park.
xx,
Sherry

I love the perfect blue and while touches you've added to the bathroom, it ties so nicely with the bedroom! And that Limoges cup…..what a lovely memory of your days in Paris. (I don't remember getting more than a handshake from my middle school at graduation!)
I can hardly wait for the unveiling of the Woody Liana pillows next week. I know they will be the crowning glory to your bedroom challenge. You are already the winner in my book!
