The Nita Nest

Well I wanted to do a post dedicated for Lola B Boutique lady :) I had a guest room that i was completely at a loss at what to do....i would walk in there, stare at the ugly forest green walls and walk out thinking ' who in Gods green earth would put such a hideous dark color in such a small room?' I wanted to create a peaceful haven for all guest using furniture i already had but yet paint it a color to fit for a girls room or lil boys (one day!). Early last week I came across LolaB thru a friend, MaryJune, (thanks girl!) and it was like a lightbulb went off! I set to work, grabbing a gallon of paint from the local hardware store (funny, it took me 5 seconds to see the color I invisioned in my head) and away I went. Well, I should say we. I had convinced my twin sister to join me on this endeavor and what a day of memories it was!! We laughed and gabbed the whole time and got 2 coats of primer on, and later put 2 coats of the lovely pale blue. A few days later she came over again and helped me paint and sand a vanity/dresser my husband found at a local auction for less than $10 and a trunk that came with a set of dressers (a tall dress, short dresser with mirror and the trunk was $15). I also spray painted a wrought iron bed frame my father in law found in someones dumpster (seriously its gorgeous!! who would throw it away!!!) that my hubby sandblasted. I still have a few more things i want to add on the walls but all in all, i have the guest room done before this wknd's guest arrives!!! :) I dubbed the room 'The Nita Nest' because of a great friend who is coming this wknd and staying in it the first time. Hopefully i can enjoy it for myself one day...when the kids are napping :) Enjoy!

The bedding my mom and i found at a yard sale for $15. Pretty neat find huh? Thanks again LolaB for your inspiration! Im looking forward to your seeing your store soon!
