Guest Room Looks Like Grandma's House. Intentionally.
by
Kirby C
We have an English-style cottage, and rather than fight the style, we went with it. *Disclaimer* for those of you who are looking for neutral Pottery Barn-esque interiors, this isn't for you.
We started with Grandma Hazel's brass bed, circa 1900. I found an autograph quilt (WPA dam project wives, I believe) and put it at the end of the bed. Other linens were on sale at various stores, and I've been collecting them for about a year.
We added lots of vintage artwork on every wall. All less than $25 each.
The 1950s buffet was painted robin's egg blue and accessorized with a vintage lamp.
