Finally!  We’ve been in this home for 9 months and decided what we wanted to do in the guest bedroom and today we’re sharing the result with you.  I’m so glad you could join me today for our coastal glam guest bedroom reveal!

I had originally decided to do some kind of wallpaper mural on this back wall, behind the headboard, but when it arrived it just didn’t feel right.  For months we tried looking at it, hoping it would become what I had envisioned but it just wasn’t happening.  Fun idea, but my gut told me, “Not for this room”.  And that’s okay!  Listen to that and go with it!

I came across this gorgeous Ocean Blue Faux Grasscloth Wallpaper on D. Marie Interiors and immediately fell in love.  This was the wallpaper! It’s “sky” color was such a pretty medium blue, with lighter and darker tones throughout the design as well.  I knew it was going to allow me endless possibilities and fun combinations in this space.  In just a few hours, my friend and I had it up.  It was our first time but it went well!  Check out her site for other beautiful wallpapers!

These pretty white nightstands were such a good price and the perfect size for this small little guest bedroom.  I found these to-die-for gold leaf turned table lamps on Perigold’s website and, since I’m a Perigold Tastemaker, they sent them to me for this space.  They have since sold out (quickly) but they have so many other gorgeous options HERE!

This gorgeous sunburst mirror also came from Perigold, as well as these lovely Caitlin Wilson blue floral pillow covers.  As soon as I saw these pillows, I knew they’d be perfect because I wanted a couple of soft feminine touches to this room.  All other pillows and the rest of the bedding were from HomeGoods but I’ll have links for them at the end of the post in the “Shop The Post” section .

This headboard is the perfect shape for this space and can be found HERE or HERE.

I used this chandelier and another just like it back in our Dallas kitchen and nook and decided that, even though it was a cooler gold, I liked it in the guest bedroom.

Mother of Pearl tray, faux flowers, and throw blanket all from HomeGoods.

The last thing I wanted for this room was just a small slipper chair to rest any guest’s bags or sit on to take off their shoes…or to sit and read on.  I wanted it to be comfortable but smaller and stylish.  I envisioned something blue and white striped that went with the wallpaper and I found it!  The price is fantastic and you can shop it HERE or HERE.

This room is going to be fun to change up and add different accent colors to, especially this little chair.  It’s so cute when I bring in some pops of blush pink!  So fun, right?!

The wall to the right of the windows has gorgeous artwork coming that has been backordered so check back soon because I’ll be updating this post when it arrives and sharing photos.  They are gorgeous coastal photos that will be soothing for guests and perfect for this “coastal glam” guest bedroom.

This is the same curtain rod and rings that I used in my office and living room and loved them enough to use them again here.  These curtains are the perfect ivory, not too white or too creamy, good quality and fabric, pinch-pleated, and the price is phenomenal.  I’m going to hem them but for now, a little puddling looks nice.

Wallpaper comes and goes. It’s either trendy or it’s not.  I grew up thinking ‘I will NEVER ever put wallpaper in my home,’ after my mom put up a large, mauve and green floral pattern in our large living room and dining room, ha!  Granted, it was lovely at the time but then it stayed for years and years and we eventually cringed at the sight of it.  Then, we’d visit my grandmother and she had metallic botanical wallpaper in the guest bathroom and wallpaper throughout the whole house.  I felt like I would leave the home and could still see the pattern at everything I was looking at!  Well, guess who eventually grew up and wants wallpaper? I’m raising my hand right now.

Here’s the thing…when you have a neutral palette in your home like I do, you like to make a statement somehow with wall art or subtle pops of color.  A small amount of wallpaper just sounded so fun to me. I’m crushing on so many wallpapers but we’re renting before our final move so I decided to do create framed wallpaper panels for my office.

I’d been stuck for over 2 months brainstorming what kind of wall art I wanted above my desk.  My office is blush and gold and a few subtle hints of light grey.  I couldn’t find one thing, in stores or online, that I wanted for that space.  Half asleep in my bed one night (when inspiration usually comes, so silly), my eyes open and I know what I want to do!  I remember doing wallpaper panels 8 years ago in one of our other homes and I loved it.  That was it!  A beautiful statement piece with wallpaper that can be changed in and out!

The wallpaper I chose is called the “Arlington Pale Gold Large Rose Vine” and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was THE ONE!  Love at first sight.  You just can’t tell in the photograph but the background is this shimmery, pale goldish-blush and it is stunning in person.  I love the different shades of blush on the rose petals.

All I had to do was buy 2 large frames, I used 20″x30″, spray paint it gold and then cut out the wallpaper to fit and stick it into the frames.  It may have taken a few months to decide on, but only took a couple of hours to spray, cut, and put together.  I love the romantic, feminine statement it makes.  I love flowers, anything floral and I’m really hoping I don’t make fun of it in 30 years like I did our wallpaper growing up…ha!  I know I won’t.  This is just the perfect amount of wallpaper and floral and looks very sophisticated.

I know I’m surely not the first one with this idea but I hadn’t seen it done anywhere else.  So I went to Pinterest after hanging my framed wallpaper panels yesterday and was curious to see how others had done it and what wallpaper they had chosen.  I wanted to share a few examples with you for inspiration.

This wallpaper panel is so lovely and really adds a bright statement against the darker grey.  It adds that perfect touch of elegance to this bedroom.

I love the the 3 panels of this chinese botanical pattern against the green sofa.  Notice how they kept everything else very simple and clean so that it wasn’t too busy.

I love these colors together!  It really adds height to this nook and an additional pop of color.

The gold and grey….just exquisite!  And to take them from the baseboards to the ceiling is brilliant.

I love this bold black panel.  Just stunning!

I love the idea of 3 panels for a bold statement AND it can be switched out when you fall out of love with it.  You never have to steam and peel and deal with the mess.

Whether you’re a renter or you own your home, making framed wallpaper panels as an option for wall decor is a great way to enjoy wallpaper you love without marrying it!  I’ll be sharing my entire office makeover in the next week so make sure and check back (and subscribe to my email list) to see the update!
