The new guest room needs a name, and that's where I'm hoping you guys can help - currently we refer to it as the Red Room, which makes me think of REDRUM thanks to the movie The Shining, which isn't very enticing to guests...hey, come visit and stay in the REDRUM - er, Red Room. While I'm not finished decorating it, you can get a bit of the vibe I'm going for with the following pictures - kind of retro, with a little bit of dog thrown in (the bed sheets have little black dachshunds on them). It helps that I keep finding red accessories around the house and into the room they go - my favorite is my old Panasonic Toot-A-Loop AM radio from back when I was a kid:
The radio, along with my old 45 records box, and my Skipper doll with the hair that you could curl. Sums up a lot of my childhood right there...
The room isn't finished - I still don't have a bedskirt because I'm holding out for a ticking striped bedskirt but not willing to pay the price for one.
The gold chair and end table were originally my Grandmothers; the wooden Coke box was mine from 100 years ago...or maybe more like 45 years ago. The cars in jars belonged to my kids back when they were little - see? Retro.
View from the chair, with dogs on the wall as well as the sheets.
So, any ideas? There's a lot going on but there has to be a good name for this room, right? Help me stop calling it the Red Room, please!

This weekend is the beginning of spring break in our town, which means we get to enjoy going out to eat without all of the college students, woohoo! It's also the anniversary of when we came to check out the town when we were considering moving here from San Antonio - it didn't occur to me that it was spring break and I remember thinking "oh, it's not bad with the college students at all" - boy did I get a rude awakening when we actually moved here and discovered the population was double what I thought!
Have a great weekend!
