Guests

We've got some VIP guests arriving tonight and we've been busy little bees getting the room ready.  After this house, it's not likely that we'll have a guest room so we didn't really want to spend a lot on getting it together.  We followed the wise words of Bob the Builder "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle"!  Besides new sheets and towels everything else was either in the house, from a flea market or the op shop.

I'm quite pleased with what we managed to pull together, especially these cute pics and old tapestries.

The guest room is a sweet little room which and must have been a later addition to the side of the house.  It has it's own little bathroom and side entrance so it may have been a granny flat.  Luckily for those who will get to sleep in there, the room is quite separate from the rest of the noisy house and so won't hear thumping on the wooden floors upstairs which usually starts at around 5.30am...

In other exciting news, some of the peonies are ready for picking!  They are just beautiful and I'm super excited that they were just growing in our garden.  The pretty pink and red ones are ready but the white ones are still buds and amazingly there are still so many buds left on the bush!  I think we've got about three weeks worth of stunning flowers!
