While there isn’t a lot I can say about our guest bathroom, this is one room I enjoy decorating (even though the small space can sometimes be a challenge to complete and balance).

Throughout our home we have authentic African wood carvings that either my father-in-law or husband has brought home from the southern countries in Africa. Most are stained with shoe polish as opposed to typical wood stain and some of the carvings are made from a very fragile kind of wood. This makes cleaning a delicate process where the dye will transfer and come off a little bit each time they are cleaned, so I do not scrub them down very often.

I think I have been collecting items for this room for about a year (longer if you count the carvings!) It wasn’t until a recent trip to the Farmhouse section of Hobby Lobby that it all came together nicely. The screen print was a very rare find at a local store called The Market. I love the animals stacked one on top of each other: a very fitting selection of animals for this room! The saying is “Life was meant for good friends and great adventures.” Enjoy, my friends!
