In reply to Joanna. I put the blanket on top of the comforter for a couple of reasons, Joanna. The comforter and the blanket are both lightweight so it really does not make a difference what layer is taken off first. And the blanket is so pretty so why shouldn't it be on top. And finally, with air conditioning the room is cool, even in the summer. Hope this helps.

In reply to LinB. Hi Lin, It's hard to recommend the right paint for your bathroom. I need to know the undertones of your flooring and anything else in it. We painted our whole home Simply White by Benjamin Moore. It's a soft white with just the hint of a yellow undertone. Check it out.

In reply to Marsha Daubenmire.

Hi Marsha, I did not make the bible scripture verse. You can find it here: https://rstyle.me/+y8ssvSRV5q5j3q8RHiV8qQ
The light fixtures are no longer available but here is one that is similar: https://rstyle.me/+a6_KMjMm93r5dsIcrAxLmw
As for the knitted coverlet, I just used a knit stitch and made the coverlet. I did not have a pattern.
Thanks so much for your kind comments!

Yvonne, you have the most beautiful home and such a great taste for style. I enjoyed seeing your blog until my computer was hacked and I haven’t gotten it fully recovered. Anyway, I wanted to ask about a few things here. The Bible verse above the bed is so lovely, did you make that yourself or could you share with me where you purchased it? I also love the brass light fixtures and would love more info about those as well. One last thing, it seems you posted something about knitting a coverlet for a bedroom in your house. You said it was a very easy pattern, I’m a new knitter and would love to try making that if you remember what pattern you used.
Thank you,
Marsha

Can you recommend a soft white paint for two small bathrooms? Our house is eight years old. As much as I dread it, I think it is time to start painting over the builders grade paint. I will start with the bathrooms and move on to the two bedrooms, leaving the great room for last. I hate having the house in disarray but I have put it off long enough. Thank you.

Lovely! One thing I always display for guests is a photo of them. For long-time friends and family, I frame a snapshot from years ago – they always love this personal touch!

Can you tell me why you put the blanket on top of the comforter? It’s normally the other way around. This way your summer guests have to take the blanket off to take the comforter off if they only want to sleep with the top sheet and blanket on a summer’s night.
I’m heading into my guest room shortly to take a few pieces off the bureau. While the vignette is pretty there isn’t much room for their things. Thank you for that reminder.

Such great ideas as always. I just had a house full for my son’s graduation and used several of your ideas. You’re so right about keeping it simple it makes cleaning up that much easier too. Ready for the next guests. Thanks Yvonne.
