So beautiful! Every room in your house is a visual delight. Looking forward to all the details!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room, I like the rug and bedding.....Nice pics.....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Looks so comfy and inviting, just how a guest would want it to be. Love the old table/desk. Thank you for sharing.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the room was the word 'restful'. I guess that's a good word for a bedroom, but it was beyond that - I saw 'rest' as in retreat, silence, peace, serenity. I like that you have left it relatively spare.
ReplyDeleteJoan, This is such a lovely guest bedroom. Any guest would feel the warmth and welcoming feel to this room. You seem to have a lot of natural light in your home. If I haven't mentioned it before, Happy New Year to you.

Like usual, everything is beautiful! Love that lamp next to the bed--I'm sure Dan worked his magic and came up with that beauty:) Beautifully done, Joan!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful room Joan!! Do you have much snow there!? We are having our winter's share here in the Puget Sound!! Ice and snow = no power!! Thankfully it's been on for a while now! Have a wonderful weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI love this space! Your home is to die for... Thank you for sharing & inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to think I'm nuts, but ALL day long, I've been texting my family and friends to ask if they have a specific looking basket for me to use for a photo shoot I have in mind. YOUR BASKET (by the bed) IS PERFECT!!! I SO wish I could just pop on over to your house and borrow it. Please oh please tell me that's not a one of a kind antique piece, and that I can just pick one up at my local Target? xoxo!
ReplyDeleteI love the room, Joan. The bedding is beautiful, especially the long pillow. I also like the idea of using an oversized quilt at the bottom of the bed...it works well if you have a queen size bed and can use a king quilt. The color of it is a favorite of mine. I have a nearly identical rug, except mine is smaller and I use it in my kitchen. It is lovely for guests that you have enough room to have a desk and chair in the room...AND a chandelier. It is all so elegant.
ReplyDeleteAll the best...Victoria
Just as lovely as I thought it would be!!
ReplyDeleteI will be very comfortable there. My favorite piece is the painting over the bed. Both painting and frame are really special.
ReplyDeleteSimply divine! Love that lamp!
ReplyDeleteHolly
Such a peaceful room. When can I come stay?! haha
ReplyDeleteLove the bedroom, very serene. Do you have any info on the window panels. I like the simplicity of the panels. What fabric is that?
ReplyDelete...someone is going to have sweet dreams...lovely...blessings...laney
ReplyDeleteEvery corner has spoken beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Hi Joan,
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! You seemed to be using the deep red as an accent color...something different than your other rooms. You always keep it interesting. Thanks for the inspiration.
What I am loving is your use of antique textiles and that gorgeous rug in your guest room! I knew you had a room waiting on me!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I want to make a reservation! Could it be for a weekend? I would love to follow you around and LEARN from you! This room is stunning. Did you make the bolsters on the bed??? Gorgeous. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog...what a beautiful home! So cozy and inviting but still sophisticated. You just acquired a new fan! <3
ReplyDeletewell hello guest bedroom!
ReplyDeleteLuscious! Any guest will be thrilled when they walk in this room. Aaaahhhhhh. Peaceful and comfy.
ReplyDeleteLove it! the first thing I noticed was the chandelier. Is it vintage?
ReplyDeleteIs this our room?
ReplyDeleteOk, ok you convinced me. I agree to come up and stay with you, and this is the room I want. :) You have such a gift for creating a space with unique combinations. It is just warm and inviting. I love the little desk area you have set up. That is my fave. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Barb
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning room! I cannot tell you how much I look forward to your posts :-) Amanda

Lovely and looks inviting.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any open dates for this room? It would give me an extra reason to go and see my sister in Portland.
This is gorgeous! I just discovered your blog and am loving your style. Thanks for the inspiration. xo
ReplyDeleteAnother absolutely gorgeous room! Is that coral in the basket on the chair? Love every inch of it!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see another room. Everything you do is incredibily breathtaking. I would love to have just even one room look as beautiful. I wish I knew you so that could happen. Can't wait to see the details. best regards, wenda...maggieandme52@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Joan! I love the abundance of artwork especially. And that little brass detail on the bed is lovely. What a gorgeous space.
ReplyDeletexoTrina
So beautiful. I love the peacefulness. Everything is lovely, but I think you could have put almost anything on those floors and I still would have liked it. Those floors are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat an elegant guest bedroom. How nice~I love the bed and the way you dressed it~what are the curtains?
ReplyDeleteAny availability for extended stay this March? Gorgeous! I think I may have the same quilt - mine is in orange though. Did you get it at Soft Surroundings?
ReplyDeleteHi Joan,
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see one of your reveals I'm in awe! I luv the detail you put in your rooms.
Just curious, is that crown molding I see?
I can't wait to read about the details. I enjoy your stories of how and where you acquired your antiques.
Amy
Just like all of your rooms, this guest room is beautiful, peaceful and welcoming. Love all the details and especially the chair.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing for your guests.
Wow tris room is a DREAM, so lucky guests!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week end...
Etta
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bedroom - so warm, light and welcoming! Linda
ReplyDeleteAs always....absolutely gorgeous! It looks so inviting and peaceful. You are such a talented person. I can't wait until you share the details.
ReplyDeleteIs there any corner of your home that isn't absolutely drool-worthy? Love this room... the rug, the pillows, the art, the accessories, ah... and the lamp. Did you make that?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
I love the tones in the room and the pillows on the bed look amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh lucky,lucky guest! That room is beautiful. I especially like the pillows on the bed and the art. Can't wait for the details. :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again you have amazed me. That room is so serene and inviting. I'm sure every piece has an interesting story. I could just feel myself sitting in that room, totally at peace.
ReplyDeleteWow, it's such a grown up room! :) Very serene. I love the bed and the beautiful salon chair.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful - very peaceful, too! You have so many special touches, but I think my favorite part is the antique chair at the desk. I want a chair just like that.... I know one day I am going to find one that I can redo. Again, the entire room is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe rug! The artwork! The quilt! The entire color scheme. :D Quiet, but enough color to be exciting. Perfection. love love love!
ReplyDeleteSo cozy! I love the way you pay attention to all the little details. The rug is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, can I come be a guest?
ReplyDeleteYou always get every element just right! Beautiful!!! A very inviting room!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'd love to be a guest in that gorgeous room.
ReplyDeleteTDM xx
A guest room dedicated to guests! My North guest room disappeared last year, when I acknowledged ts real function as storage. The South one is still in operation, but is just a bed insinuated in a room lined with bookshelves.
ReplyDelete--Road to Parnassus
Just beautiful. You have such a gift for decorating. This room flows so perfectly with the rest of the house.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful & inviting guest bedroom, so delightful, love Posie
ReplyDeleteLooks like it is ready for guest. I can't wait to read the "details"...those pillows on the bead are to die......
ReplyDeleteOhhh! Just love it all! I'm swooning over the bed pillows. So inspiring. I smiled when I saw the desk with the ottoman under it. I'm on the hunt for a console or table or desk to put next to my living room chair and be able to scoot the ottoman under it. I've been tweaking my first floor, painting most of the walls Benjamin Moore, Titanium after reviewing your paint list. Thank you for all the wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteSandy
What a pretty room. I especially love the white bedspread and the dainty little wooden chair in the corner. Thanks for sharing this room with us.
ReplyDeleteClaudia
Beautiful room! I have been looking for floors exactly like the ones in this room! Are they reclaimed wood? Could you give me the details? Company, type, etc. Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteJoan, this is STUNNING! Are you taking reservations?
ReplyDeleteYou have impeccable taste! I would love to know where you got the little round bedside table and the pretty grey? coverlet at the end of the bed. Also the paint color.
ReplyDeleteI love all the neutral textures and the soft reds of the rug and paintings. Elegant simplicity.
ReplyDeleteJoan,
ReplyDeleteThe mix of much loved and new is a winning combination, especially the way you always put things together. The new finish on the much loved bed frame is beautiful.
And I want the long pillow - did you make the cover for it?
I love this room, every detail. I hope you will tell us about the bed skirt when you get to the details. It is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, wow. Just wow. Your spaces never cease to amaze me.

...i keep trying to get a better look at the pillow behind that long front pillow...is that a pillow made from a turkish rug...or is it tapestry...whatever...i love it...blessings laney
ReplyDeleteJoan, love the curtains! and how nice is it to have a desk in the guest room! this is my first comment on a blog with many more to follow. thanks for the response re: the miele. Darlene

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! Would you be willing to share the paint color you used for the walls?
ReplyDeleteWow, wow and wow! I've lost track of all the things I love about this room. It is truly beautiful...a masterpiece. I can't wait to read the details. Thanks for the amazing photos!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely room, Joan! Great personality in your collected pieces too. Any guest would feel cherished in such a lovely space.
ReplyDeleteJoan, Dan, and Ella: Beautiful, peaceful, restful, inviting, serene...what a guest room! I can't wait to read the story. Cindy
ReplyDeleteThat room is just lovely as all your rooms are, but I must say... your floors make my heart go pitter patter!
ReplyDeleteHow beautifully welcoming and generous Joan... as I know you are... How fortunate your friends are to share your home...
ReplyDeleteBe careful... Your guests will never want to leave... xv
I'd like to make a reservation for 2, please! What a beautiful guest room, Joan ... anyone who steps foot in such a gorgeous space will *not* want to leave!
ReplyDeleteI'd love you to post your stuff on pinterest! it is all so beautiful.
ReplyDeleterachel hood
BEAUTIFUL Joan! What lucky house guests you have! :)
ReplyDelete-Meg
Seems as though there is going to be a line-up to stay in this bedroom!
ReplyDeleteI do love it too! Your collections are amazing and your placement of each item is perfect! Love the balustrade lamp, bedding and the big wide pillow! 5 star!! :-)
Love the bedroom, where did you get the pillows?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely elegant, welcoming, cosy, stylish room - beautifully decorated and presented - looks so lived in and as though it just evolved magically rather than being contrived and overdecorated. You have such a skill for doing that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect guest room...it looks like you've thought of everything. I love the painting above the bed and the desk is just gorgeous. A perfect reading lamp and tray to hold jewelry or whatever...even a rug as your feet hit the floor in the morning...oh and the bed linens are well...to die for. Your guests will never want to leave!
ReplyDeleteSo restful. I particularly love the writing desk. I have one that's very similar made by Wright Table. Mine is distressed to look old; yours looks like the real thing.
ReplyDeleteJoan,
ReplyDeleteAs always, your style is so beautiful. I truly hope you and Dan are approached about creating a coffee table book of your home. I love to revisit the images as they always inspire me with ideas for my own home.
Karen
So beautiful and peaceful. I love how the red in the rug is picked up in the pictures and pillows.
ReplyDeletePatti
The entire room is so peaceful and welcoming...just beautiful. But oh, my. Oh, my. I have been wanting to do a needlepoint bell pull (or two? or three?) from Elizabeth Bradley but wasn't sure how I'd use it once it was done. Now I know. Exactly! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment today because it led me here...how I was not following already I'll never know, because your house and blog are spectacular! I'll be stalking you now :)
ReplyDeleteStacy
I quite love the color of this gorgeous room. Was wondering if you could tell me what paint color you used? Your home is so inspiring!
