French Vanilla Guest Bedroom

My mother used to describe this wall color as "French Vanilla".  It's a very soft yellow, or a very yellowish ivory.  It' looks more yellow in the pictures.

While the room is not quite finished...there are a few extra things I'd like to add... and of course my cutains aren't hemed yet.

This is the duvet I got from the antique mall when my booth was there.  I also layed a white quilted coverlet at the foot of the bed.

The bench is one of the my "coffee tables turned benches".  I covered in a linen print, with a box pleated skirt.

You can also see the yellow bedskirt from my turorial  HERE 

Do you remember my mother's Victorian headborad (footboard)?  The one I had to paint because of the damage?  You can see it   HERE 

I also put my little armless chair, I slipcovered in white denim, in the corner. And one of my "coral" pillows for the window seat. You can see how I made them  HERE

I tucked a little blanket under the window seat for wrapping up in while sitting in the chair.  I have 2 little foot stools to choose from to put in front of the chair.  I'll do some sort of little slipcover to the one I use.

I always save the soaps and shampoos from our vacations and I like to keep them out for guests.  Some have actually used them!  I also added a basket of towels to carry to the bathroom or out to the pool.

I brought this Waterfall dresser home from my shop when I closed it.  I put it in here to store it, but I think it looks kind of nice.

 I accessorized it with a  yellow Victorian dresser box, which belonged to my mother.  I put her old perfume bottle on top. Then my cranes I found at a thrift store and some pretty shells in a clear glass dish. 

Here's a close up of the box.  It's so beautiful.

Now for the before... or storage room... or work in progress.

And then again the after.  Ahhh...I like this much better.
