Guest Bedroom-- Take 4

 My step-sister, Danika, and her daughter, Larissa, are staying with us for a few days.
 It's been 8 years since I've seen them, last! They live in the Seattle area, and we're never up that way. We are really excited to have them- it will be a super fun visit.

 We've been working on little things here and there, and thriftily collecting items for our guest bedroom.
 There's a really cool apothecary trio I made, that I want to share. 
 I'm so in love with them!!!






 I will share the tutorial on how I made these beauties later, once our guests leave.

 Oh, and I made this really cute "guest book", for people to sign. 
 I'll show pics of that later, too.

 Awhile back, I made this "relax" sign, from fence posts. I liked it, but found something better to add to change it up.

 A monogram!

 I adore monograms- totally a favorite thing of mine. I found this chunky 'W', on sale. 
 It was black, then I spray painted it teal. LoVe it!
 I ripped the word 'relax' off the sign, and glued this cute monogram in its place- which made it totally fabulous.




{I want to paint this end table brown, one of these days. For now it's black, and will have to do.}


 Warren did something sweet... literally.  Just after I vacuumed and dusted the guest room in preparation for our guests, he walked in and put two Ande's mints on the pillows.  How sweet is that?
 There will be a nice, unexpected treat for our guests. {I think he started a tradition!}




Can you spy the Ande's mints on the pillows?
