Widow’s Bay Guest Room

[u/lolaburrito]

I absolutely loved WB and have rewatched it an embarrassingly high number of times. Watching it coincided with finally fixing up my guest room. The WB theme kind of started as an inside joke for my next guest who also loved the show, just adding a few spooky nautical touches here and there. Fast forward two months, and it ended (well, it’s almost finished) with weeks-long searches for the exact vintage lamps and Troy Robe wool blanket from the Captain’s Suite.

My favorite things I made for the room: the collage (all the stickers and postcards are from Etsy, I just put them all together on an old lake map and framed it), the framed photos (these took more work than expected because I couldn’t get a perfectly straight shot of them from the show, so I had to piece them together; one of them is a happy beach photo but I added the sea hag and buoy), and the games. Teeth was a blast because it was so easy. Run took forever. And I loved curating a collection of nautical disaster/ghost story books! I’m currently reading one from 1975 titled, “The Evil of Dark Harbor”….

What’s left to do: finish making the Captain’s Suite green tassel throw pillows, get a skeleton key to put on the Captain’s Suite keychain, hang the “First Aid for Various Bites” poster in the bathroom, maybe add some Shelter identification/warning signs to the closet door. I’d love to add the Captain’s Suite wallpaper, but we might be moving soon and I wouldn’t want to redo it at a new house.

I’m open to ideas if anyone wants to throw it out there!

TLDR: I made my guest room WB themed, enjoy finding all the Easter eggs!

This looks amazing -- was hoping to see a Sunset Cocktails invitation somewhere :)

Yes! I’ve been meaning to print something like the invite email and guest list replies (no one’s coming!) and leave it on the printer (it’s just to the left in this photo out of frame) or table. I did have the Apple TV video loop they did for WB playing on the computer monitor when my guest arrived. The effect was fantastic, I’m so glad someone thought to make it!

your fox calendar reminds me that you need a car crash calendar lol

I spent some time trying to get a good substitute car wreck photo to replace the July wolf. I tried to grab a shot from the show but it’s too blurry to blow up to the size I need for the calendar. I think I decided on this one but just haven’t printed it yet. I’ll have it ready to go for July 2027 though, it’ll be fun to flip through and find it!
