Moody Boho Bedroom Updates Featuring Crane & Canopy

I know it was only 9 months ago that I updated the guest room, but a year later, I’ve made some small changes that make a big difference in this space.

There were a few things that just weren’t working for me in there after a little while: the art, the rug (which was just too neutral for the eclectic vibe I wanted), the headboard, and the bedding.  I loved the white bedding, but the quality of what we had just wasn’t there- it was very tissue paper thin, I prefer a crisp cool cotton when it comes to bedding.

I started making changes when my good friend Sarah Dorsey texted me and asked me if I was interested in this headboard she found for just $10!  It was similar to the one I have as an instagram display in Emmy’s room, so I was certain I could do something with it.   Then a month or so later, I started to think how great it would look against the black walls of the guest room and I got to work removing the old blue headboard, and replacing it with the white wicker peacock headboard.  I mounted it right to the wall.  It’s a full size, and we have a queen bed, but it’s barely a noticeable difference, and I love it, so it’s staying! (at least for another 9 months).

And do you spy that gorgeous white bedding?  I wanted beautiful crisp white bedding that would look comfortable, cozy, and inviting to our guests.  Crane & Canopy has several gorgeous duvet covers, and their prices are completely reasonable- it’s designer bedding without the middle man markup.  Plus, all of their bedding, duvet covers, and sheets are 300 count cotton, so no more flimsy cotton that won’t hold up.  They have so many duvet covers that I love, and there were a few I contemplated, but in the end I kept coming back to the Mirabel white duvet cover.  I loved the ruched design, and loved the whimsical bohemian feel of it- it felt perfect for my space!

On the left side of the bed, I have a dresser passed down to me from my family, and some other vintage touches.

On the wall near the door to the room, I have a gorgeous vintage dresser, like none I have ever seen!  I can not for the life of me figure out what kind of artwork to put over it!  I just can’t figure out what I want.  I tried the piece that’s there now, but I am not feeling it- I love the MCM vibe of the bird artwork but it is not working for me.

See what I mean?  It’s amazing artwork, just not for this space.  I would love to hear any ideas you may have!

(Also, that gold chair was a DIY project as well, and you can read about it here.)

Otherwise, I am really happy with this space!  The Crane & Canopy bedding really helps make this space- the solid white is perfect for the space and the texture is exactly what it needs to create a comfortable bedroom!Moody Boho bedroom

Thank you so much to Crane & Canopy for providing bedding for this bedroom update!  I was not compensated for this post and all opinions are my own.

    Wow, Cassie – this could be one of my favorite rooms in your house! Love the layered rugs, headboard and that cool pillow. What about an abstract with a bit of the rug color, or oversized black and white engineered prints in the biggest Ikea frames (maybe two since the dresser looks long?) or… I’m going to be obsessed with this all day! 🙂

    I would put the print /picture that is on the long dresser over the bed to bring the natural wood tone over into that side of the room , instead of all on the left . And take the “skyline “picture on the left and put it over the dresser along with the owl print and your cute vase of arrows & dream catcher. Add color and height but lightness and nothing too squared off over the long ( beautiful ) dresser . I realize the dream catcher might blend in with the light back ground and I would spray paint the upper part to match your dark wall . Also add something red or orange and edgy in the left corner dresser , it looks too sweet compared to the rest of the room . Maybe even the wood toned gazelles would look good there .
    I LOVE all your pieces ! Great room !

    I’m loving the headboard on the dark wall… and that rug looks really good in there! What about some kind of engineering prints above the long dresser. You could even do some kind of picture of your walks in the woods or something like that. Artwork is hard which is probably the reason I only have four things hanging in our apartment.

    Also, I kind of think the dream catcher (love this project) would look good on the wall to the left of the one it’s currently on if you decided to paint the whole room black like you mentioned in the comments above.

    The room looks very comfy Cassie. It’s a very “you” room! As one commenter said the room really reflects your personality. I agree! I love that you take your time to find just the right pieces and don’t just rush out and buy everything at once. Your guest room has a lot of personality because of this. Have you thought about hanging a large mirror above that dresser?

    Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! And that rug! Shut up! And because of you, I was looking down while at the estates sales last weekend. Found a beautiful one on the last day when the dude was saying stuff a box for $10. I asked him if the rug fit into a box? Ha! He said no, but for $60 it was mine. Sold sir! S.O.L.D. And I think I’m going to put mine in the guest room under the bed. But first I have to vacuum all the dust mites out of it…yish! All I could think about while it was by my head in the SUV was, “yuck, please don’t have bed bugs!”

    I spent all day yesterday lugging my office stuff from the third floor into the sunroom – my guest room is making a comeback! I just don’t like walking up 3 flights of stairs and being separated from everyone – so down I come.

    So the guest room will get a makeover too – new bedding (I’m a fan of white too), bed and more. The sunroom is making way for my desk and excessive amounts of clutter!

    Love that headboard – the dark wall and of course that artwork. Maybe a gallery wall of vintage finds would look good over that dresser.
