I have family coming for the July 4th week and I wanted to make the guest room look less boring and more inviting without spending the money for a new bedspread!
Before
One afternoon I was looking through my linen closet and a tablecloth my dear sister purchased for me at the Good Will jumped out at me. I thought to myself – too bad this isn’t a bedspread. Then it hit me! Why not! This could work! And lo and behold:
After!
Works for Me! Perky little tablecloth huh?! Now I’m thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas and that just has me way too excited about decorating my guest room for all the seasons! Oh am I in trouble!

How cool is that?! Great idea!
Beth, I’m telling you its got me excited to see what other looks I can come up with in there! Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve got 3 weeks in Washington so I can shop at my favorite Goodwills and I’ll see what I can up with 🙂 Maybe you can even ditch work one day and go with me….
OH YOU KNOW I AM SOOOO IN ON THAT!
Oops forgot to say, I really like the before and after shots….
What a great idea!!
Thanks Amy! And thanks for coming by!

I have vintage tablecloths draped over my couch to protect it from the sun and I change it seasonally. It is addictive!
Jane, I am afraid this is going to change my shopping habits! Vintage – now that’s an idea. Thanks for the hint! The ideas are endless.
I want to sleep in there!!! I hope we get to visit you one day.
Hien, the invitation is always open – come on up! Love ya girl!
Get out! What a great idea!
Christine, thanks for popping over! Too much fun I’m telling ya!
Holiday guest room! How fun! I don’t have a guest room! ):
I know… I’m telling you, I’m in trouble!! Thanks for stopping by 😉
This is just SO genious I have to comment. I have been wishing I could change the bedroom colors for seasons, and now I have a great idea. Thank you!
Honey, it was a fun find let me tell ya! Thanks for coming by and commenting.
This is cute! We’ve done it in the opposite direction, using sheets and light blankets as tablecloths.
Juggling Frogs! (I like that!) My sister did a beautiful quilt beadspread as a tablecloth for my new sister-in-law’s shower! It was truly shabby chic!
Thanks so much for linking me to the dessert roundup! I ‘m off to copy and paste!!
BTW Your bedrooms are beautiful! Who would have thought of using tablecloths? They’re great!
