for those guests who do get invited to stay;)

it’s nice to create a little sanctuary that offers

comfort

♥

By now you may know that I’m a big fan of white,

I think it’s a clean, calming “spa” color

but it also seems happy and optimistic to me..

rather than a darker colour palatte that lends

more warmth to a room.

I always have an extra throw and lots of pillows for cozy reading in bed.

♥

White is also a great reflector of light so it brings a brightness

to a room

as the light bounces about!

♥

Some of you will see that the wrought iron kijiji headboard project made its way into this room.

I will have to lift it up on wooden posts

as today’s thicker mattresses hide too much

of the frame.

♥

The little white bedside tables and Ranart light are from IKEA.

My vintage painted dresser with mirror

sits so lovely next

the white

wrought iron headboard frame.

♥

Since closet space is a bit sparse in my new place,

I found this pretty Mulig clothes rack

at ikea

{ for only $12.99 }

♥

I like to hang my favorite seasonal pieces

and love to coordinate

the colours,

it almost feels like I get to “shop” for my own clothes..

the next best thing to spending money

♥

What you don’t see yet.. are the

magazines, chocolate, fresh towels and a water jug with glasses

I would put out when my guests arrive,

because you definitely want your guests to feel

at home!

♥

on the other hand..

if you want them to leave..

maybe try hiding the chocolate;)

♥

Love,

Smidge
