We finished bedroom number 2! With two photoshoots going on at the farmhouse over the past month we certainly felt the crunch to finally complete the room. Kris and I actually pulled everything off at the very last minute, with the exception of installing our crown moulding (which is why we shot the room at a low angle; that’s the perfectionist in me).
If you recall some earlier Instagram posts we were inspired by my green hat and mixing prints and patterns. We wanted something a little softer compared to our equestrian themed master bedroom, and a place our guests could feel special in. The black & white toile wallpaper was the foundation of the room, knowing we could always switch out pops of color and prints over time. Next came the pink and green fabric which was a perfect fit for the botanical vibe we were looking for.
The solid oak bed we scored at a local auction for a steal, then painted black for some added drama! We started mixing prints with our collection of green transferware plates above the bed, then continued with other textiles throughout the room. Our favorite lighting shop totally delivered when it came to the sweet little Italian Tole Chandelier.
After a few months of trial and error, along with a hectic work schedule, I finally got the settee finished and it came out amazing! Another auction find for about $75! And the lovely peony fabric came from Ethan Allen. Love it or hate it, you’ll notice subtle vintage insect prints throughout the room (P.S. We love it!).
To keep the small dresser simple we played with scale by adding an old cast iron urn and a dramatic aged black wood mirror, inspired by an old window on the streets of Paris (I designed this piece at work). You’ll notice a few framed pressed botanicals throughout the room which continue our botanical vibe.
We hope you love the room as much as we do and big thanks for all the lovely comments and enthusiasm lately. So much more farmhouse goodness to come so stay tuned! A big shoutout to our very own farmhouse flower girl, Earth Girl Flowers. Jill did an amazing job recreating old Dutch botanical arrangements throughout the house for a recent photoshoot.

Love the peonies!! Had similar wallpaper in an old house we renovated and we kept it! It was green with white background. Brave to paint the bed but it turned out great – love it all, even the bugs!
Hi Karen and thanks for the love. Yes, painting the bed was a big decision but it wasn’t an antique piece or very expensive. So we did it! Have a great weekend! Shawn & Kris xoxox
AMAZING!!! as always 🙂 please tell me you did NOT do the beautiful upholstery work too on the incredible settee–that would just be too much and I will feel completely incompetent…
Hey Dawn! Thanks so much and yes, I upholstered the settee! It was tricky but I pulled it off finally. Miss you and hope all is well… Shawn xoxox

I couldn’t love this room more. Your eye for detail and ability to mix patterns is amazing. My heart sings with the black bed, dresser, mirror, and chandelier. But the piece de resistance for me is definitely the insects! I hat lucky guests you will have!

Thanks so much Missy! Shawn & Kris xoxo
Love the room. So glad you didn’t paint the window trim. I know you purposely left out the ceiling due to the crown moulding being unfinished, but what colour did you paint the ceiling?
Hi Cate! Thanks for your message and so glad you love the bedroom. The ceiling is just standard white matte. Have a great day! Shawn & Kris xoxo
`where did you find the sheets? I love patterned sheets but all those I find are NOT cotton. Not good…no siree…in fact very very bad.
Hi Judy! Thanks for the comment. We got these at onekingslane.com and absolutely love them. Have a great Thanksgiving! xoxo Shawn & Kris
I absolutely love this guest room and happy I came across your story in Houzz and am now a subscriber !!! What I love just as much is that I too have a 4-post bed and have been working on my husband to modify, i.e., cut down the posts as it closes in our master bedroom and you gents did it !! The bed looks fabulous and now I know I’m not crazy for wanting modifying an heirloom (I’ve had it for nearly 25 years). Thank you, thank you, thank you for a terrific blog — From So. California
Really love the peony fabric and the hooked cushions. Would you mind telling me where you got them and if someone hooked them for you? I’m a rug hooker. Thanks. And Happy Thanksgiving. ??
