Bedroom #2 - Moodboard

When Jeremy and I first bought our home we assigned our bedrooms numbers since they didn't have identities yet.

Bedroom #1 became the master bedroom. Bedroom #3 is finally coming together as our office. Bedroom #2 is still a room with no name - but eventually I'd like to call it our guest bedroom.

So this evening as I was shopping on line with my brother and brainstorming decorating ideas for him I became inspired. When I think of my guest bedroom I think of my brother staying with me - so why not decorate this room for him? I like to imagine this room as a poor traveling musicians room (with great style, of course).

So I promptly whipped together a moodboard.

Do you love it? I do!

Now, while all of these things, aside from the vintage suitcase table, are very "off the shelf" I would actually try to hunt and gather most furniture from local antique stores. I could find multiple vintage maps and layer them on the wall, a wrought iron bed, an old rusty chandelier. This mood board just helps to give focus and direction to this room.

Here are the elements I used for this mock-up:

8' x 13' world map wall mural - urban outfitters - $140

IKEA Heimdal twin size bed frame - $79
Now, I'm not sure if getting a twin size bed is very practical (or comfortable) but I love the idea of it.

I love the theme of your guest bedroom! Why not make it rocking fun? Guests will appreciate it, and it also makes for a more playful room for you to play in when the guests are gone.
