southwestern guest room inspiration

The past two months of settling into our new house has been fueled by impending visits from Nate's mom and step-dad from Arizona and some college friends traveling from Dayton. We have been running ourselves ragged trying to get most things tucked away and ready-- painting the living and dining rooms, finishing off the kitchen, unpacking boxes, etc. It's been nice to have some motivation to finish projects and let some rooms take shape!

One of the rooms that we've been working on most recently is the main guest room. I didn't really have a fully-fleshed out idea of what this room should look like until Nate suggested a southwestern-theme. Most of our decor is pretty eclectic, melding many styles together to put out a very collected vibe, which led me to give our southwestern guest room a retro twist--  almost Route 66 inspired. While we aren't doing anything major in this room quite yet like painting (I need a break) or switching out fixtures, we have a nice little refresh planned to make this space feel cozy, inviting, and well-traveled for our future guests.

Take a peek at some things that have majorly inspired me for this room---

sources: 1. bison skull 2. retro desert print 3. wigwam hotel print 

4. leather fringe pillow 5. potted cactus 6. woven pom pom pillow

Okay, that Wigwam Hotel Photo by Kevin Russ was preeeeetty much the cornerstone of our color scheme in this room. Ugh, it's so cool.

I love that kilim-style lumbar pillow!
