House guests tend to stink after a while yes? Love the room, the sage green and your parrot collection.
Beautiful! I love the paneled wall! Can't wait to see more.
Just what that room needed a piece with some
scale to it. w.What a fantastic armoire! Is it
considered British Colonial antique or reproduction
not that I care cause it is perfect. Cute parrot collection as well Betsy.
I don't know...your guest bedroom looks awfully cozy. I'll bet you have trouble getting your guests to leave, with those nice fluffy pillows on the bed and the room decorated so nicely.
Good luck,
Babs
Love the armoire! Great collection of parrots.....and I thought I liked birds! You've got me beat by a mile Betsy.
Pretty room, love the colors that you used.
Swooning over the wonderful bird collection (sigh)! Anyway, what is the saying - fish and house guest start to stink, after two days?? Love the room!!
Love the guest room...It certainly would be hard to leave that room after 2 days!!...It is "kick off your shoes" gorgeous!
I love your artwork collection~I hope you talk about how you got the different pieces. The armoire is gorgeous too~the whole room is lovely, can't wait to get my mint on my pillow when I visit for TWO days.
Looks like a dream. Love it~
Betsy, I think this is my favorite room, so far. The colors are so soothing and relaxing a guest would need a nudge for sure after the two days were up. The ledge is the perfect place to display your special bird collection. Love the comfortable yet beautiful room. Looks like a very talented decorator did it.-------

Love the ledge and your birds are the perfect accent pieces. How about if I bring gifts.....lots of gifts....and food too?
My first time at your blog. Love it!!
Totally agree...like fish-2 days...gone! :) Following your attitude! Hope you can visit me!
We're meant for each other. I don't like to stay anywhere more than 2 days. That room is calling my name...when can I come?? Love the room and can't wait to see the rest. Thanks for sharing at Show & Tell.

Oh, Betsy. Now you can't expect a body to see all this pretty and not want to stay a spell?!
This is some kind of gorgeous!
Thanks so much for linking, I can't wait to see the rest!

It is gorgeous! You are going to have a very hard time getting rid of guest! LOL What a beautiful room!
You know what they say about guests and fish!! Anything longer than 2 days and it begins to smell!!
So when I arrive at your doorstep, luggage in hand, I promise to only stay for 2 nights - then I'll get out of your hair!
Love the room - so tropical and fun! You'll have a hard time getting people to leave.
Kelly
Beautiful room! I love the colors! :)
New to you.....but I think we're gonna get along fine :) Over from becolorful. Those birds, the vintage phone, the basket of paperbacks. You're a good hostess aren't you? It's OK, I won't tell.
love the yellow and green together so cute

"Fries my goat" just totally made my night. Hee! Love your version of the room, and I hear you about guests - a few days, and I'm done playing hostess. ;)
Loving this room, and yes I would have to stay longer than 2 days! Love the yellow and green together, and the birds pictures above the bed frame. Also love the vintage phone. Great room and oh so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your creative guest room inspiration at Sunday's Best.
I have followed you for years and then today I just stumble upon your blog.
So I'm ... following you ... again.
I'm so thrilled ~

"fries my goat" - I love it (both the expression and the room)! Love the wall covering, the colors, the art... Is that a pool I spy outside? And you say you're in FL? Could I make a two week reservation, please? Thanks for linking up!
Betsy,
I've already commented on this but seeing it again on The Rooster & Hen party makes me swoon for it all over again!
Kelly

Pretty, colors and birds scream tropical! I just sold our home of 25 years, moved into a condo, I would love ideas for above kitchen cabinets the ledge is seen from kitchen and living area. Suggestions please?
