Christmas in the Guest Room

Our guest room is decorated for Christmas and ready for company!  I made a wreath to hang on the armoire where I store quilts. This wreath is ...very pretty...easy to make...and inexpensive!  I am not good at tutorials, but here goes!!   I start by spraying a grape vine wreath white.  (I got mine at a yard sale for .25)  Then,  I wrap a string of 100 lights (use the cool ones with white cordses) around the white wreath,  secure in a few places with silver wire.   I got my lights  at HL with a 40% off coupon.  Then, I went to the Dollar Tree and purchased 2 packs of 6--7" paper doilies ( they are in the wedding section).  I cut some of them in half and some in quarters and started hot gluing them around the wreath.  I also cut a little  X in the center of some of the doilies and put them around the individual lights..add some ribbon to the bottom of the wreath and glue little pieces of lace anywhere you can see the grape vine wreath 

Those little trees on each side of the armoire came from the alley...one day H was taking out the trash ..and there they were!  Sitting by the dumpster...free!

This sweet little winter doll was hand crocheted by my great aunt...I think she is beautiful!

The snowflakes on her dress are done with glittery yarn...

Look at her little bonnet...so cute!

H has two vintage record players, this one is an Edison. The other one is a Victrola.

Hand painted Christmas record and a vintage "Nipper" dog.... he is one of the trademarks for the Victor Talking Machine Co.  (Victrola...RCA).

One of H's smoking stands...we don't either one smoke...

This is a rare vintage Victrola gramophone dancing figure....she does a little "jig" as the record plays...the grands love her!

Here are some of the ornaments..both tree's are done the same...

I used violins as tree toppers with  lace bows.

This is the dresser in the guest bedroom..I have mother's vintage lamps on it....and a little Santa and sleigh...

H bought this vintage sliding trombone at an auction this past summer for $10...it cost $6.98 new.  It came with the case and music sheets.

I have just a simple chenille spread for our guests, extra pillows and blankets are in the closet.

I have H's typewriters in this bedroom also..

At the end of the bed is an afghan that my grandmother made.   H also collects vintage cameras, old books, clocks, English Bosson heads and, and,and.................

I hope you enjoyed seeing our guest room decorated for the holidays!
