I’ve got nothing….

Today I was supposed to show you all our newly decorated guest room…..but it’s not quite done yet. My plan is to work on it tonight and Monday so that I can post about it Tuesday. I would work on it over the weekend but I am leaving for a business trip tomorrow! Oh well.

If you recall, a while back I blogged about decorating our guest room in gray and yellow….and that’s exactly what we did! Even though it isn’t finished it looks awesome! I really need some cute pillows for the bed. So far the bedding is all white with one yellow and white pillow. I found some really cute options on Etsy. If you have never heard of Etsy you should check it out! It’s awesome!
I am in love with this LOVE pillow. It would be perfect for the room…..but I think I can actually re-create one myself, so I’m not buying it.
What about this Gray Dot Ruffles pillow. I love polka dots. And I love ruffles. But is it too girly for a guest room?

 This Yellow Ruffles pillow is adorable too.

I really like this yellow zig zag pillow. I think it’s less girly….but I can’t decide. 
And I am dying over this California pillow! But at $52 it’s a little out of my budget. Mom, can you make this for me?????
And there is a Michigan pillow too!
So which pillows do you like?

    Not gonna lie… that Michigan pillow is a little weird. Kinda looks like it has a tumor. Sorry northern neighbors!

    I do love the yellow ruffle pillow though! So cute!

    I love all your pillows, but especially the top 4!! Ruffles are not too much for a guest bedroom!

    LOVE yellow and gray together… can't wait to see your room!

    I like the Michigan pillow too…….the mitten part that is, the UP looks a bit odd! Anyway, Julie, we must make pillows!

    Love them all. State pillows and the love are a must. Also really enjoy the zig zag and polka dots. I think the polka pots are fine for a quest room. Can't wait to see the room!!!!
