The Guest Room is Ready For Company

I still have to get drapery for the morning sky blue guest room...they will be made from Waverly's black check above the windows and on the sides. The Venetian blinds will work for window covering when needed. Since the windows have lovely private views, I didn't want anything that might block the mountains, trees, sunsets and city lights.
I'll also get some art for the walls, and arrange a few decorating elements to make it feel a bit more homey too.

Of course we still have the NO cats in the guest room policy.

I had just spread the beds and went to get the camera when the boys moved right in anyway.
They thought it was just great to have their own beds all to themselves.
After all, wedging Bernie in on the big bed every night is a lot of work.

While unpacking I discovered we have a lot of pillows. I'm still looking for a place to store them all! We also discovered that we still have a huge heavy mirror that was in Laura's room when she was very young. It was stored in the attic...and now is stored behind the headboard until we can haul it off to the donation center. It is too heavy for me to lug all by myself, so maybe this weekend we can finally be done with it.

(Personally...I think a blue eyed Siamese cat would look better in this room.)

Jeff is our first "official" guest, staying with us until he leaves for his trip to California to get married next week.
His bride-to-be has vacated her apartment and moved into his place for a little settling in, so Jeff moved over to our place.
Funny...thirty two years ago Bernie and I had a similar arrangement.
He moved home with his parents for a few weeks while I got the apartment for a bit.
It is nice to Jeff with us for a last bit...and after the "cat nap" on the new bedding, the cats decided they really like sleeping with Bernie better anyway.

Poor Bernie.
It's all good though, isn't it?

Yes it is.
