Today I am finally bringing you a look at our bedroom! It should be noted our home is a three bedroom, however one is our gym and library, and the other is our office, which we hope to revamp later this year, so stay tuned! Therefor this is really the only true bedroom in the home, and is the primary bedroom as it features the dressing room and bathroom.

While the bedroom didn’t require any major renovation, it just never felt complete to me. It never felt like the homey, warm place I wanted it to be. After the painting marathon of other rooms in the house I knew the bedroom needed paint. Late last year we finally settled on a color, and last month we had the time to paint, build some custom shelves, have an electrician come in, and put together a gallery wall to fully round out the room.

Our room started out as a mish-mash of mid-century and knick-knacks we had collected over the years, over time it has become more western themed. It started when I scored the wagon wheel light fixture at a thrift store for just $7. My dad found more treasures, including the covered wagon black velvet and the Pepsi piece above my vanity. While I’m a Coca-Cola girly, Pepsi was the original sponsor of the Golden Horseshoe Saloon at Disneyland, and I thought this ad evoked the Golden Horseshoe well. You’ll spy several elements from the Disneyland saloon around the room. Other finds from my dad include the vintage Supertone cowboy guitar and banjolele.

The vintage Heywood Wakefield secretary has served many uses over the years; bar, china hutch, linen cabinet, but it is perfect in the bedroom, where is serves as a desk, dresser, bookshelf, and most importantly cat bed and highway. We topped it with sheepskin rugs from Ikea to give the boys a plush bed and somewhat protect the top of the secretary.

In the past my Hey-Wake vanity had to serve as jewelry storage, but with the dressing room in this house, which has its own built in vanity, it has transformed into a little vignette of everything that brings me joy, from my Brisco photo signed by Bruce Campbell, to vintage souvenirs, to my beloved rose that Orville Peck gave me that Patrick preserved in epoxy.

Since fleshing out the bedroom it’s become a place I almost never want to leave! I love laying in here with our fluffy boys either reading or watching a movie.

I want to give some shout outs to artists and friends who have made this such a delightful space. My friend Alicia, who made the custom cowgirl and jackalope spirit board. You can find her on Etsy. My friend Mel, who gave me the “Tables for Ladies” sign. Mel is a very talented cosplayer and one of my dearest friends. If you’re into cosplay and witchy things, check her out on Instagram. My friend Angelina, who works hard saving treasures from the dump, and scored the amazing ceramic deer head! She’s one of the most creative persons I know, you can also find her on Instagram. The colorful Knott’s Berry Farm piece on our gallery wall was done by the incredible Hayden Evans. The spectacular throw blanket features one of my favorite musicians, Orville Peck, and was purchased at one of his concerts. The artwork is by the talented illustrator Yasmine Pond. The charming Big Thunder, Pecos Bill and Slue Foot Sue valentine was made by the stupendous Melissa of Amuseboosh. You can shop her creations here, and be sure to follow her on Insta to learn about upcoming pieces! The “Send Nudies” Gram card was purchased on Etsy from an artist who has other great country music cards! The vintage Knott’s Berry Farm Burro book was a gift from Tanya, an amazing seamstress who you can check out on Instagram. The “Don’t Shoot the Piano Player” print is a letterpress piece purchased from the International Printing Museum. The large desert landscape black velvet above the bed was purchased from one of my favorite antique mall booths in Orange, Moonshine Vintage. Many more of the delightful knick-knacks have been treasures found at various antique malls, thrift stores, flea markets, and finds from friends and family.
