Guest Room with Punch and Stylish Bloggers

 We’re in the pink!
Our tiny but special guest room at the beach…
Trés avante garde as this was done before the announcement of, you know…
Kravet buoy fringe is glued on lamp shades and coordinating tape sewn on matelassé drapes.
“Honeysuckle Pink” mixes well with peach, rust and warm brown.
A little bench was added and deep storage was built into the small room.
Sweet dreams.
Best Wishes,
Mary Ann

  5. I don't think that I've ever seen quite as much interest in a new 'trend color.'. Honeysuckle is certainly making it's mark everywhere. Your guest room is lovely. I'm particularly taken with the passementarie on the lamp shade and the drapery panels. So well done! Thank you for sharing your charming design and for stopping by my post. I appreciate the follow, and I'm happy to follow you, too. Cherry Kay

  22. Hey Kathysue, like I commented on your blog…the color combo was influenced by our time spent Florida (that duvet is four years old from my daughter's bedroom when we lived in Fort Lauderdale). In fact, I got a call from my daughter from NY this morning. She was upset that I called her bedroom the guest room. Ah well. The little chick has left the nest. Sort of.
