Guest Bedroom Reveal & Last Visit To Wicker Emporium

Mr. Seventies finished painting the ceiling & walls in the guest bedroom...I had forgotten I had ordered the Euro shams to match the quilt I purchased through Pottery Barn.  In my defence....it was ordered last April....so when it arrived I was happy!


My happiness was short lived however......they mistakenly sent me two King size shams rather than Euro shams!  I will need to wait a bit longer for the right ones to arrive....(which will be in September).....I'm loving the navy blue on the walls! (darker here as I closed the shutters)....


In the meantime, I'm using shams I have on hand....I'm loving the canvas I picked up at Inspired Living for over the bed....

I'm on the hunt for a small night table for the right side of the bed....I'll know it when I come across it....


I'm not certain if there are any other locations of Wicker Emporium across Canada....but our location has been sold......Prestige Home Decor has purchased it....

In its day it used to be an amazing store....I spent many a lunch hour browsing away at their then downtown location.  In later years, they moved their store....and sold more furniture pieces....(mainly from Thailand).   

Since I wasn't sure when Prestige will be moving in....


I stopped in one afternoon.....only to discover Prestige has not yet taken over the space....but I took a few minutes to browse around.....


They are not having a sale or anything....so most things were not on sale or clearance....disappointing....



These faux display pieces.....almost looked real!  




I think the lemonade could use a stir.....but it's acrylic!




I had a chuckle when I read this sign....but it just might be true....just sayin'.....




My little grand daughter told me of a local store she was in that had very, very scary Hallowe'en things.....so you know I had to check it out!  I can see how some pieces could scare a little one.....the wolf would rear up & howl when you walked by!!  I luv it!!

Sneak peek....after September 1st - the fall decorating will commence in My Seventies Split!!


Thanks so much for spending time with me today....Mr. Seventies is replacing a few pool deck boards today as it is forecast to be cloudy....and showers!!  (we need a good 2 day soaking not the odd sprinkle here and there)....

As much as I love summer (and I really do).....I'm ready for dark, broody skies, shorter evenings, crisper temperatures.....and fire pits!  ( we've been under a no burn order here for weeks).....

How about you?  You ready for some fall?  The "ber" months are my favourite!!

Join me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphis Monday and again tomorrow at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesdays....

Until next time....

  2. Hi Charlotte. The guest bedroom looks fantastic! The blue walls look so great with the quilt - too bad PB sent the wrong size shams. Too bad about Wicker Emporium but maybe the new owners will do it justice. Bring on the "ber" months - we are currently under a heat dome here - and looking forward to sweater weather and no more grasshoppers (ick). Take care over there, my friend.

    1. Hi Kim! I agree...ick grasshoppers!! We're being bombarded with wasps here! Must be the hot, dry weather bringing these pests to torment us! I'm also looking forward to sweater weather....it's been a hot, dry summer! Take care, my friend.
