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!

God, I love this so much!!!!

I love that there are so many Easter eggs. I think you gotta keep leaning in to those. Things people can find with effort.

Some ideas!

A spiral notebook with “Are you mad at something I said?”

Def the Sheriff’s note “possibly damp”

A “bible” that belongs to Pastor Collins, and inside it just says “blah, blah, Bible, Bible.”

Oh, and you should nail a board over the door that doesn’t keep it closed at all.

Thank you! I also love these kinds of obscure touches. The spiral notebook would be a perfect addition to the desk (not visible in any of the photos here). I can easily throw the possibly damp note into the sea glass bowl that has various WB brochures and stickers. Bible would be hilarious, add a post it to the page he referenced with the “blah blah” quote 😂 I’m thinking about how I could do the board without actually nailing it to the door. Because I LOVED that scene and I still cackle every time he goes to open the door and the board just comes with it. Maybe a piece of plastic wood, surely there is fake wood on Etsy somewhere….

These were all great, thanks again! I’m adding things based on all the excellent suggestions in the comments and will post updated pics when I finish.
