Because I’m perpetually planning 500 steps ahead… I have recently put together the guest bedroom mockup and inspiration board. Right now, my order of focus is (1) finishing the half bath which is already planned and set to go, (2) adding baseboard to the first floor to complete the flooring for now, (3) finding a sectional for the den which will allow me to settle in on a decorating scheme, (4) decorate the den, and (5) decorate and furnish the guest bedroom.
Ok, so actually upstairs flooring should probably happen before any furnishing of the guest bedroom occurs…. But, I found a vision for the space which means, however unnecessarily early, I want to plan it out! 😉
The inspiration for the room came entirely from one picture and some pompom ribbon I have at home that I bought years ago. The pompoms are a bright and fun turquoise! I knew I had to use them somewhere and the guest bedroom seemed the perfect fit. I want it to be calm and restful with a nod to bright and whimsical. Once I thought of lining the curtains with the pompoms, I knew I found my perfect use for them.

This is my all. time. favorite. ever. bedroom. I mean this is some true Sarah Richardson genius, folks! It’s so very soothing yet still highlights some fun colors to keep the mood light. Elements that I totally want to copy: flanking nightstands in a neutral color (or bright, who knows?), white trim accent wall around the bed, and a fun and neutral upholstered headboard.

The color on the walls of the mock up is Irish Mist by Behr which is what we recently painted it. You also may have noticed I included the Anthropologie Esperanza quilt (which we currently have on our bed) as the comforter. I absolutely love it still and am not sure I want to let it out of the master just yet, but I do think it goes perfectly with the theme I’m going for in the guest bed. So this board is helping me visualize that option 🙂
Other elements I included in the mood board above are some colorful pillows, matching lamps, a little art gallery, and a coat rack. I’ve listed the sources for the items in my mood board below in case you want to check any of them out. Most came from One Kings Lane, in my opinion, the most beautiful curation of home decor on the web (and possibly the most expensive too….). I’ve never bought anything there, but I find it very useful for inspiration!
