I think the bed in the guest room needs some company, it’s a sad lone piece of furniture in that room. I would like to get a decent dresser to put in there for storage. I also thought a chair of some sort would be nice and of course a nightstand/end table, you know you need a spot for your nightly glass of water. So a few weeks ago I was checking out craigs wonderful list again and came across something I thought might work. Consider me on the craigslist bandwagon, I can’t get enough. That something I found was…
Yup, another rocking chair. Who woulda thought I was a rocking chair collector. I got this guy for $20, serious bargain. When I got it home it desperately needed a good cleaning, so I got out the murphy’s wood cleaner and started scrubbing. You wouldn’t believe how much dirt came off this chair. Eventually I will lightly sand the arms and restain them because they are so worn. As for now it is good and clean and now the bed in the guest room has a friend. I got the navy throw pillow from a store called One World Goods in Rochester, NY. They sell all sorts of hand made goods from all over the world. I think it goes well with the bedding in a not so matchy matchy way. I still thought the guest room was looking a little sparse, so I added a couple stools/end tables that Sandy gave me.
They are so rustic looking which I’m a big fan of and get this… Justin’s great grandpa made them. I mean come on, can this family get any handier? I think it’s pretty sweet that we now have things in our home that were made by family members. It makes me love those certain pieces of furniture that much more.
I added a little white ceramic fish that holds a votive candle and a picture of me and my dad.
I put the other next to the bed, you know, for the nightly glass of water. I would still like to get a dresser for this room and who knows those tables/stools may travel around the house. Don’t worry though, I will keep you updated!
