Recently my in-laws came for a visit. As I was preparing the bedroom that they were going to stay in I remembered that my mother in law loves pink. It was the perfect opportunity to use the antique quilt and vintage shams that I had found during my recent visit to Round Top. They helped to create a Pretty In Pink Guest Bedroom.
Pretty In Pink Guest Bedroom
The vintage pink euro shams were paired with two Ikea lumbar pillow covers. To help bring in a bit of blue for my father in law I added a linen throw pillow made over 10 years ago.
I like to leave fresh flowers in the room. This time they were left on the nightstand.
The quilt features a lovely star pattern.
I suspect that the “pink” in the quilt was once red but has since faded over the years.
On the second shelf of the bookcase are a clock, drinking glasses, sightseeing pamphlets and a happy welcome.
The happy welcome was created in a Word document. It contains information such as how to vary the temperature and the WIFI password (which I blocked out). I found the vintage cottage image on Pinterest.
We had a delightful visit and Gracie was sad to see Grammie and Pop go.
Would you like to make a reservation?

It looks beautiful. I love how you use your quilts to create such pretty rooms.
I love the pink. The quilt is a cutie.
What a cute little spotted doggie. I love the pinks and blues, they seem to work together for you. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
What an inviting room for your guests to enjoy!
Yes
Yes, I would love to stay in your guest room and I do love pink. The room is lovely and the special touch is the quilt. I do love quilts, they tell such stories.
Have a lovely day!
It is a lovely room and you thought of everything for guests. Gracie is adorable….what is her story? I’ve been away as we have been selling lots of furniture/china etc to make life easier.
Why yes i would… I would love to make a reservation… That room is gorgeous!! And I love the little companion that would greet me !! 🙂
It is such a beautiful room. Love the quilt!
Yes please, that’s lovely.
Alas, as usual, our sole guest room is a bit drab. It’s Sarah’s old room and is badly in need of the carpet cleaned (there’s no sense for us in replacing it in there because the cats will just soil it again), and a paint job (which I plan for this fall sometime). Our daughter and her girlfriend are coming next week for a visit, so I’m hoping we can at least spot clean the carpet before then and I’ll take to mind some of your lovely ideas to hopefully provide a welcoming, albeit comfortable, place.
I’m a fan of pink although I don’t have any in my house. This post makes me think I should! I like the framed welcome piece. Very clever!
I would like to book that room. 🙂
I like that idea of the list of things for your guests. Very helpful.
What a lovely room! I would love a reservation! I’m all about pink and cute puppies!
Laura, it’s gorgeous in every way. As a vintage quilt collector, I’m wild about the quilt. It’s perfect. (And prefer the pink!)
And I’m going to use your idea of the framed welcome for my cottage guest room. It’s a terrific idea and looks so cute on the shelf!
