The inspiration for the room began with a Maxwell Fabric’s chevron-patterned textile in soft denim blues and country yellows—a subtle nod to both the natural surroundings and the cabin’s vintage roots. The chevron motif also complements the architectural lines of the vaulted ceiling in the main cabin, and mirrors the classic “V” shape found on the original feature wall.
Guest Bedroom
Guest Room Design inspo
The design of this second bedroom echoes the relaxed warmth of the principal suite, featuring vertical pine tongue-and-groove paneling paired with a smooth, drywalled ceiling for visual contrast. A single window frames a peaceful view of the forest behind the cabin, offering a quiet, grounding connection to the outdoors.
The custom-designed headboard draws from the frontier façades of old western buildings in nearby Clinton, BC, adding a touch of Cariboo heritage to the space.
Drapery takes its cue from mid-century barkcloth prints, but with a modern twist:
a bold, playful pattern featuring cowgirls—a fun and unexpected detail that brings personality to the room.
A single drapery curtain is used as a closet door helping to keep the room quiet and also visually appealing with this unique green and white buffalo check design. Ruffled bottom adds a hint of femininity to the room as well a country vibes. (closet not shown)
Western Chic Cabin Vibes
To keep the vibrant green, vintage 1970s nightstands clear and functional, wall-mounted “new-vintage” oil lamp sconces were added for both charm and practicality. Dimmable and easily controlled from the bedside, they offer a calm and relaxing retreat experience.
Indian paintbrush, lupins and tiger lily wild flowers are collected nearby on the country roads to create a simple country bouquet. The base of an old glass oil lamp suits the environment and adds some elegant vintage charm to the bedside table.
The vintage side tables were a Facebook Marketplace find and were chosen due to their charming 70s vibe. Repainted in SW 6460 Kale Green they add a punch of color to the deeply hued headboard and drapery.
Multigenerational Cabin Living
With the addition now complete, the cabin features a second full bedroom with a queen bed, transforming the space into a true multi-generational retreat. With two generously sized bedrooms and one loft bedroom—one designed as a primary suite for grandparents, the second ideal for a grown child and their partner and the loft for the kids—the cabin comfortably welcomes extended family while preserving a sense of privacy and personal space.
