I had this long blank wall on this side of the guest room. I had an old window out in the shed and the two new windows that I painted white. |
I also stopped and fed my Home Goods addiction this week and found this cute little bench. It had dark legs so I got out the Annie Sloan chalk paint and painted them. |
I also found these cute chippy's at a shop in Geneva. $20 bucks for the pair. They came home with me. Look at how chippy and wonderful they are. |

Great finds! This past weekend, I was bidding on a set of old windows, thinking I was the high bidder, when the person next to me won them! I was very frustrated! I also have been wanting a set of chippy shutters but every pair that I have found has been over a hundred bucks! Your guest room is very lovely and so welcoming!
ReplyDeleteBoth rooms are beautiful...love the bike in the bedroom. Have a blessed week.Kay
ReplyDeleteI would say you did have good luck!! i love the last pic...those shutters look great.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Amy Jo
Pretty! What I wouldn't give for those windows and those shutters!!! I think the windows look just fine as they are.
ReplyDeleteLovely room Kris!
Your room looks great, Kris. I really love the windows on the wall. I don't think I would
ReplyDeleteput glass in them-the really look great just as they are. If you get tired of them you could always staple some drop cloth or something to the back. Still loving that bike AND your new shutters. You sure have fun with that room! xo Diana
Kris, I think since both long windows have no glass ...it works. You sire got some very good treasures. I adore that bike. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I love this room! You're right! Our styles are very similar. I absolutely adore this room!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks great, Kris! Love that bench. I am eagerly awaiting the new Home Goods by me opening up. It is about 5 minutes away from me and I've missed popping into one several times a month, even if it is just to look around. The current one is about a half hour away.
ReplyDeleteYour windows are so beautiful! If you wanted you could always add vintage postcards or vintage sepia tone pictures in between the panes. But overall i love your style it is so tranquill!
ReplyDeleteBe blessed, Lorena
Love the windows and the bench. I think this is the cutest room. So fun. I totally love it all. Be sure to link up to Inspire Me this afternoon. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYou surely had a wonderful weekend of treasure hunting. I have about a dozen vintage windows... some with all original glass some with panes missing. I prefer to leave them as they are. They are perfect additions to the room. Along with that adorable bench .
ReplyDeleteHappy new week.
Gee
You crack me up, you are always on a chippy mission. The guest room is lookin' great!
ReplyDeleteI love your bedrooms. They are very shabby...i adore them! And those windows?! Gorgeous

Love the windows, Kris, just as they are...allows for the option of 'framing' some other great finds! This room it totally inviting. So sorry for Terry's mishap...good thing there's a nurse and medic around! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a knack for finding wonderful chippy things and then displaying them perfectly.
ReplyDeletelove the shutters and windows, kris....terry's cut, not so much:( the bench is perfect, and the buffalo plaid is so cute! have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'd leave the glass out of your windows...couldn't tell if it was just one pane or all of them from the picture. A couple of my glass paned doors are missing one of the panes and I like it that way.
ReplyDeleteGeneva has some great little shops!

Oh Kris, love the rooms. I like the windows the way they are, but it's up to you. If you decide later that you want the glass in you can always change.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your husband - hope he didn't have to have stitches - good thing your a nurse.
Have a great week. I am finally getting my Fall decorations in the house from garage as we have a cooler day today. Yea yea.
Mary
Nice shopping finds! I like the windows and would prefer without glass if I were choosing. The bench at the end of the bed is beautiful. Nancy
ReplyDeleteThe windows look great! I love the simplicity of them on the wall....glass or no glass, very charming! Blessings~~~Roxie LOVE your Chandy too!
ReplyDeleteLove the windows, love the shutters, love the room!
ReplyDeleteyou have created a nice and relaxing guest bedroom for sure. Love all the whites
ReplyDeleteKris, what a bummer that the glass fell out and your hubby got injured. I would leave the windows as is They look great! I love old window and have a few in my garden and shed. I love the buffalo check on the bed.
ReplyDeleteI love the windows with or without glass. Those shutters are awesome. Love, love, love both rooms. You know...we all want to come over to be a guest that gets to stay in these beautiful rooms.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Cindy
Everything looks so pretty--just love it! I am so jealous of those shutters--they are awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou found some goodies, for sure, girlfriend!! LOVE those shutters-great find and great bargain! The windows look wonderful, too, even w/out the glass (poor Terry! What our hubbies go through for us :) Beautiful changes, as always.
ReplyDeleteSusan
Hi Kris
ReplyDeletePersonally, I wouldn't bother putting new glass in the windows, unless you change your mind about how you're going to use them at some future date (highly likely, I should have thought, lol).
That issue dealt with, I just have to say that I have turned a VERY ugly shade of green, since reading this post! How come you keep finding beautiful things like those chippy shutters at such incredibly low prices? Here in the UK, things like that go for ridiculous money, and certainly beyond my pocket at the moment. How about taking pity on a poor, deprived friend, and shipping your latest set to the UK for her?? Pretty please, on my knees please! Lol. Seriously though, my husband would go BESERK if I bought them here, with the prices they are. I just picked up two lovely big galvanised florist's buckets for £15 which is a really good price here, and you should have seen his face when he saw them, oh dear! I don't think he quite gets my latest passion yet - give me time, I'll talk him round.
Take care and speak soon

Oh, I hope your husband will be OK. I can't help you out with replacing the glass or not. Tough decision.
ReplyDeleteThe little bench is perfect. Just right for putting on lace-up shoes. Good deal on the shutters. But I have to tell you, I got a pair of 8 ft. shutters FREE! I have them behind my headboard. My BIL works with housing repair and brought a whole lot of them home for my sister and I. I got first pick. She is going to sell most of the others. I feel so blessed.
*Smiles*
Kris, I am digging these windows. I don't think you need to bother with the glass. They look fantastic the way they are now. I also love those shutters. You always find the best stuff. A we bit jealous.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
All I saw was room for rent...I will be right down:) I love the windows too btw.
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! Those windows look fantastic as a trio! I can't tell where the glass is missing and it may be safer to leave it in place. I'm so sorry that your husband got cut! I hope he's doing well and healing quickly! The room looks so pretty and inviting! Thank you for always sharing your wonderful inspiration! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I drooling coz I am re-doing my daughter's room to a guest room, now that she move to her dorm at the University campus.
ReplyDeleteTY a bunch for the great idea. I have my plan that this room can be a real Shabby one. The headboard is already ready (an old door) painted with Anne Sloane, direct from the U.S. I can't wait to finish.
You are my very ideal.
Happy mid-week.

Your guest will certainly have a wonderful stay in that room. You have a good eye for nice things! It's like the corner for your vintage collection. I like the fact that you didn't spend too much money on decors like these, as most of them are recycled. They are nice pieces, especially the windows!

Who would have thought the old windows would make such a lovely décor? About the shattered glass, you can leave it that way and hang them anyway without replacing the glass. It's still stylish and is safer, in case your guests have kids with them. Thank you for sharing this!

How lovely it would be to stay on your guest bedroom even for a night! Wow! I really love what you did with this very room. Everything about it just spells comfort. And those nice old windows to enliven the walls are truly a great addition to the interior. Such fine eye for crafty things you have there!
