Room for Guests

Living away from friends and family means that occasionally we have house guests visit from England. We have a guest bedroom in our basement, which although on the ground floor, has plenty of natural light flooding in and is a quiet and private place to be.  I have tried to think of most things needed  when guests arrive.   I put out fluffy white towels, guest soaps, some light reading, and of course there is a cosy comfortable bed to sleep in. The guest bed I bought second hand here in Sweden as part of a set.  It came with a chair, mirror and two matching bedside tables, and cost just over £100.  Although not particularly old I have painted everything in 'Antique' white and re-upholstered the chair and headboard. It now has a more rustic feel and fits in much better than it would have done left in its original colours (pastel blues and greens).  I think the room looks and feels cosy, and so far I have had  no complaints from our visitors!

 Also shown is a Lloyd Loom chair, English charity shop find and the pretty planter with lavender was a second hand find yesterday, £4.  

Have a great day.....Lilly x
