You may remember when we recently redid our master bedroom at our “home” home [aka, the house we live in full-time] and for that project, I turned to Macy’s and because I loved the outcome so much, I figured I’d go that same route again – why mess up a good thing, you know? For this guest bedroom at the log cabin, I wanted to create a modern boho vibe and ultimately create a space that guests would truly enjoy waking up and feeling comfortable in. Before we dive too deep into what the room looks like today, let’s start with where it all began..the before.
We wanted a queen size bed and I had a vision of gold so when I spotted this gold metallic slat bed for less than $300, I knew I wanted to try it. Fortunately, it turned out perfect in this space. For the nightstands, I wanted to keep them neutral to keep the bed the highlight of the room so when I spotted these with the gold leg detail I was stoked. To polish off the nightstands I went with the most awesome of all awesome lamps, these beauties [spoiler alert, I think they are my favorite thing in the entire room]. For some wall decor, I found these wire baskets and thought to myself “those look like some good baskets to hang on an accent wall” so that’s exactly what we did. To bring a little bit of greenery to the space, I hung these fun mini sedum & sperengeri baskets because I’m all about that fake plant life. Because I love having a little bit of warmth on the floors I added in this 5×7 rug, which finished things off perfectly.
I mean, I can’t even with this lamp though. #Slay.
Shifting our focus now to the other side of the room, we’ll start with my beloved pouf sitting area. I would have 1,000 poufs if my husband would let me. For some reason, he views those the same as he views pillows. I’ll never understand a man’s disdain for pillows.
Now we’ll move over to the desk and bookshelf area. I wanted a little area that people could work if necessary [or you know, a spot where our nieces could watch their toy unboxing YouTube videos..another thing I will never understand ;)]. The desk couldn’t be more perfect for this space and the amount of love I have for the chair I found to pair with it is comparable to the love I have for macaroni and cheese. And you know that’s sayin’ a lot.
Last but certainly not least, one of my favorite hangout spots in the room. Each of the guest bedrooms has these fun hideaway spots and they’ve already become quite popular with the nieces and nephews [who am I kidding, with me too]. I simply decked it out with a cute throw, some embroidered comfy pillows and several of those fake candles to give it a cozy vibe. Simply grab a book and come on in!
