Well, the walls are painted.The comforter is stuffed with down, the knick knacks are on the shelves and I revamped the dresser. The Hawaii room is for the most part, finished.
The dresser, a vintage 1960s model, was a hand-me down from my grandpa. I repainted it in a color close to its original, just to give it a bit of new life and to cover all of the stains. I found the mirror above it at the Habitat for Humanity store and painted the frame, so it at least looks like it matches the dresser.
I painted the walls and ceiling the sandy color that matches the neutrals in the comforter. It's a little dark, but hey, a lot of that has to do with the lack of windows.
The knick-knack shelf, also inherited from grandpa, holds some of my tiki stuff, plus three geisha girl statues and a large ceramic chicken that used to be my grandma's favorites. (She died last summer, sniff.) The girlie statute was made by this lady Sandy who does custom reproductions of all kinds of cool 1950s chalkware. She did a great job.
All in all, it's my favorite guest room. The bed is the softest in the house and it's very cozy, despite it's small size.

Are you familiar with wide, short windows that are in a lot of ranch houses here in North Texas? The dimensions of ours are roughly 72" wide by 25" high. I can't always do full length curtains because of things like kid's safety (they try to play Tarzan with the curtains and pull them into their cribs) and furniture placement (a bed with headboard needs to be under window). Any ideas for bedroom window treatments where privacy is important (and blocking out street lamps!)
