Just settled down for a long winter's nap.....

Wouldn't you simply love to settle down for a long winter's nap?  Well, maybe in January I just might do that, but for now I have to ready the guest room for company that will be arriving for Christmas.

Since this room is decorated with lavender and green, Christmas red just doesn't work in here.  A few years ago I ran across some beautiful Christmas beads in lavender and I painted my "Snowman Jack in the Box" in the same colors.

I love lots of pillows!  I'm not sure how my guests feel about that though.  I crocheted another rose pillow in pink and the two little round pillows in the front will be be next in line for a little yarn love.

My guests are treated to a fluffy feather bed and a very warm matelasse cover to snuggle under.

I bought the Fairyopolis book because it matched this room, but it's such a treat to look at!

Years ago I painted this shelf to match the floors.  I know that sounds strange, but you'll see what I'm talking about in the last photo.

A little touch of Christmas cheer added to the bedside table....

I saved this photo for last because I've shown this floor many times on my blog.  For those of you who are new, I had to paint this floor or carpet it due to the condition of the wood floors when we moved in.  Being an artist, the paint won out.  Slippers are painted on the floor as you enter the room and a rather large hydrangea rug was painted to cover all the damage.  Can you see how the shelf mentioned above matches the floor? 

I'm on to the next room tomorrow!
