We are all about bedrooms this month. Our master bedroom will be featured in Design & Living Magazine in about a week, we are bringing you through the complete process of designing E’s big girl room and today I’m showing off my vision boards for the basement guest bedroom. When you have a good thing going, why stop?

The guest bedroom is quickly nearing completion. We are just waiting on a steel ladder and railing guard. Since the room is small and the beds are built in there isn’t the need for a ton of decor, but I wanted the few items we do use to be playful and fun.

I put together two design boards for the guest bedroom because, well, options! I kept the base of the room the same and changed up some of the bedding to create different vibes.

We tend to add blankets to our beds in the winter and I’ve been admiring Pendleton’s striped wool blanket for a while. The design above is how I envision the room looking in the cold weather months. Hopefully our guests love curling up with a warm blanket, while the snow falls as much as I do.

I may or may not have been going for a glamping theme. (If you’re like my husband and don’t know what that is, read up on it here.)

I had a really hard time picking a single Clare Elsaesser print because I’m obsessed with her work. I’m still considering this one, this one and this one, among a few others.

In the warmer months, we’ll toss the Pendleton blankets in one of the bed’s hidden storage compartments or in the Serena & Lily basket. Then, we’ll lighten up the room with bohemian pillows and an indigo throw at the end of the bed.

I may sub out a few items above and I’m still on the search for the perfect luggage rack, but I plan to get started ASAP. Then, knowing me, I’ll likely make a few eleventh hour changes once I actually start getting everything in place. While the exact items may be a little different, this is the vibe you can expect.

Let us know in the comments what you think? Is this a room you’d like to visit?
