The quilt on the bed is a winter scene, complete with ice-skating. (more about this later in the week)
I think the best room in the house is our guest room -- mostly because of the fabulous paint job on the walls...
This paint job happened years ago, after Ross moved out of the house. I invited my sisters and cousins to a paint party and the room got a complete REDO. We were experimenting (there may have been Margueritas involved...)
I wasn't content with every wall being a different color (like my living room). Why not paint free-form lightening bolts and use two or three different colors of paint?? This is the door...
And this is the opposite wall -- where I sit to do my jigsaw puzzles. Notice the yellow ceiling...which comes down onto the wall. Mostly because we were all laughing too hard to deal with a fussy straight line... |
| I bought this hanging lamp during a Pennsylvania treasure-hunt with my friend Kathy! In 2008, I started to up to this room at night to work my jigsaw puzzles (and I lost a LOT OF WEIGHT that year)... |
This room has served many purposes over the years. At one time, it was Ross's childhood bedroom -- I built a loft bed in the corner, with a desk beneath. Then, it became our guest room for a long time. When Ross moved back to Iowa to go to nursing school, it was a soft place for him to fall.
Most recently, it served as the Farro Family ESCAPE Room...and, then, I thought it was going to become Lilly's bedroom...
But -- hey -- best laid plans and all that....
