Kelly's Tour of Homes - Guest Bedroom Edition

This week Kelly, you know my "in blog life" friend, is hosting "Show Us Where You Live Friday: Guest Bedrooms".

So here's ours:
It functions as a guestroom, sewing room, and library for Raegen!

{I got tired of always picking up a PILE of books so I moved the bookshelf to this room}

Here's my sewing nook, complete with trash to treasure chair...

I have my mom's sewing machine because I broke my sister's. Remember??
Oh, you're wondering why I don't have my own?

That's a good question..."BILLY, why don't I have my own sewing machine?!"

I really like using glass jars and canisters to house all my notions and sewing supplies. It makes them handy and helps me remember where everything is!

My bucket 'o thread. This sewing box was my Grandmother Richardson's so it is dear to me.

A view back to where we just entered...

A good friend cross-stitched these pillow cases for me as a Christmas present.

Don't you love hand-made gifts??

Most people that see this bed say, "I LOVE your bed!" It was my Grandmother Richardson's and could easily be 80-100 years old. I'm not sure when it was purchased or if perhaps it was in her family before she was born.

Here are some books from my father's childhood.

One has a copyright of 1941 and the other 1943.

I can remember reading these books as a child too. I also liked to trace the pictures onto writing paper...in fact, there's still one of my paper copies tucked inside.

And of course, the grand finale...

What's lurking under the bed?

I store the leaves to the dining room table {remember, it's from B's grandmother and it has 4 or 5 leaves-- HUGE!} and a few pack'n'plays.
