    Modern and Eclectic Guest Bedroom

    May 7, 2015 by Ashley Mayes 106 Comments

    *This room was revealed in 2015 but refreshed in 2016. Check out the eclectic guest bedroom as it is today.

    We Made It! Yay! This is the Guest Bedroom Reveal which took place over six weeks as part of the One Room Challenge hosted by Calling It Home. I'm calling this design, "modern and eclectic" but I'm not sure how to describe it best. Hippie? Boho? Clean? I'd say a little bit of all of those things.

    If you need to catch up: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5

    Ready for picture overload?

    Modern Eclectic Bedroom by Bigger Than The Three of Us Before/After

    Quite the difference with the before/after. I can't believe how calming and relaxed the picture on the right is compared to the left. I kinda feel bad that we had multiple guests stay with us before. Ha.

    Modern Eclectic Bedroom Reveal

    The bed is really the showstopper! It's a DIY. Can you believe it? We modeled it after the Drommen bed at CB2. I love that bed, but couldn't shell out $900 so we made one and saved about $700.

    The little side table is a thrifted find that I topped with a DIY penny tiled tabletop. The brushstroke art is a DIY  and the brass light is a DIY.

    I fell in love with that little pocket change dish. Cassie from Primitive and Proper posted it as a #thriftscorethursday and I politely begged her to sell it to me. She's a sweetheart. =) The wood behind the plant is just part of a tree that my Dad (hi Dad!) cut for my sister's wedding. I ended up with quite a few of them and knew that I could put them to good use.

    The wall hanging used to hang in our living room on the gallery wall, but I stole it for the bedroom. I'm not sure if it's here to stay, but I'm liking it right now.

    Modern Eclectic Boho Hippie Bedroom

    I thought the room could use a mirror, but I only had a small one (the one above). I decided to pair it with the plant hangers and I think they work well together on the wall.

    The little bench has moved around in the house as well, but I really like it where it is now. I think it's found its forever home.

    My Grandma gave that painting to me a few years ago. I really love it against the green wall.

    Mid Century Plant Hanger in Bedroom

    The wooden hanging planter is a DIY that I shared last week. It might be my favorite thing (besides the bed) in the room.
