Inspiration: Railway Carriage Bedroom

This railway carriage is full of original woodwork that makes it a beautiful space for this bedroom. While it's actually just a set for photo and film shoots, we find the soft wood tones, old patina of the materials, and gently curving ceiling inspirational. See one detail of the carriage's tiny kitchen that we love, after the jump...

The slatted dish rack above the sink is functional and good-looking. Dishes can be stored away in the rack when wet, and water will drip through and drain to the sink below. We once had a kitchen with this feature and loved it.

One more long shot of the bedroom, through the dining area:

That is beautiful. I wonder what it looks like from the outside?

I just bought a blank leather trunk exactly like this one...but in better shape. It has a name on either end. Can't tell if this one does.

I love the wood flooring and curved ceiling. Would love to see the outside.

That is so cute! I adore long journeys and trains - I'd be quite happy with this.

How is this room being used? Guest bed and kitchen?

Clap - it's being used as a location to rent to photographers.
