With that being said, I guess it means that as I add to this room, I will also be adding to this post so you guys know where I got my goodies.
So, we'll start the list! I will include links to where I got everything so it's as easy as clicking away to see where they came from! Some stuff will have explanations so you kinda know what to expect if you decide to order something. I won't give information on sizing or anything, because that'll all obviously depend on what size YOU would want to create your creation with!
All of the WORDS for each item are clickable and will take you to the site where I purchased them!
Wall Art is first!
House Crests:
These were purchased from Etsy shop Modern Vector. She had a couple of sizes available, so I didn't have to go custom here. I was able to order a size that fit perfectly on the wall.
Gryffindor Wall Decal-- we chose the Burgundy decal color
Ravenclaw Wall Decal-- we chose the Dark Blue decal color
Hufflepuff Wall Decal-- we chose the Black decal color
Slytherin Wall Decal-- we chose the Dark Green decal color
Also purchased from Modern Vector was our "directional" sign that is opposite our Patronus wall.
Directional Wall Decal-- we ordered this in the Gold decal color {which became a theme for a lot of our decals}
Quotes:
There are several different quotes that we ordered.
The "In This House" quote came from Aparecium Design on Etsy. I don't see this decal in their shop anymore. That makes me sad because it is amazing on our wall. We ordered it in gold.
Albus Dumbledore Quote
This one came from Etsy shop Spiffy Decals. I kinda "winged" it on this one. I knew what size space I had, but didn't really want a custom piece that I had to message and size out to fit perfectly on the wall. So I ordered directly from the shop in the size they had available and just cut it out how I wanted to make it fit above the door. This was also ordered in gold.
Harry Potter Quote and Owl
This decal came from Etsy Shop JeetVinyl. This is another one where I "winged" it {no pun intended, lol}. I ordered a size that was pre-made that I thought would be great on the wall, and then had to adjust the words to fit where I wanted them to. This was once again, ordered in gold.
Patronus Wall
The "end result" decals for this wall came from Dana Decals on Etsy. This ended up being a custom order based on the "Always" that they had available, combined with a deer from a woodland animals set she had. I had measurements ready to go so they made it custom to what I requested. Also, the "Always" quote was customized to include the entirety of the quote {"After All This Time"} in a font to match the "Always". The words were ordered in white, the deer in silver.
Side note: I had originally gone with a different Etsy seller for my Patronus. They were great working with me to get a custom size, but they sent the wrong color the first time (I asked for gold and got white), and then when they sent their replacement, the 2 pieces of the deer didn't align properly and looked funny. So, we cancelled that order because I was a little cautious of trying to correct the order AGAIN {plus I hated that it was messed up and they were having to use so much vinyl each time to correct it} which ultimately led to me finding the shop that DID give me an amazing deer patronus and Always quote.
Marauder's Map
This one didn't come from Etsy (shocking, right?!)
It came from a website called GeekeryMade that I found on Pinterest. It was one of those things that I was just perusing the Pinterest for HP ideas (a WAY long time back) and came across it. The price on it was amazing, which I loved. When we got the decal in, I had to cut it into pieces because it was just BARELY too big to fit in the space I wanted it to fit into. Also, it was a ton easier to put it up in sections rather than all at once. Despite having to adjust the size, it's a great piece, looks amazing and is a cool statement to see when you first walk in. This was ordered in Black.
Platform 9 3/4 Door Decal
Etsy, again! This was from shop Recallart. This shop is based in Ukraine, and it took a bit longer than "normal" to get to me... but was really less than a month. This is a gigantic sticker. It was a bit of a pain to put up, but it looks so awesome!
Hogwarts Wall Mural
This is the "wow" factor of the room, in my opinion. And it is GIGANTIC. I had the idea that I wanted this and had to scour the internet til I found the perfect piece. I found the mural on Etsy, at 3DWallBoutique. The shop owner, Ira, was amazing to work with while we figured out what I wanted! Communication was great and I got an amazing wall decal! The link I provided for this one shows you the general idea of what we went with. I opted for NO frame, and got the print in a glossy finish. This also shipped from Ukraine and took about 6 weeks to get to me {take holidays into account, and it really wasn't that long before it got to me}.
Onto the other goodies of the room!
I am going to TRY to put these in ABC order, so if you're in love with a certain item in the room, it's easier to find. Not sure if that system is gonna work- but let's give it a try....

** Items with the double asterisk: I got these as Christmas gifts. So if you're "judging" on how much I've put into this room- don't judge these ones. They were gifts. And seriously. If you're judging- stop. I always look for amazing deals and bought a lot of this stuff with coupons, and discounts. So nah!
Books!
Now, I definitely have all of the HP books and I've read them all... but I found a few books that are worth mentioning and looking into if you just love HP and want all things HP {kinda like I do, haha}. These can pretty much be found anywhere books are sold. I did a ton of research to try to find the best prices when I was ordering. So, for that, I've included the links and the stores I got them at... but they MIGHT be cheaper in other places now.

Figurines!!
I have a small collection of boxed figurines that I am IN LOVE with, and will eventually have all of the ones they make. These include Nagini, who is in the Horcrux collection, and then favorites like Dobby and Buckbeak. Photos of them are in my reveal post. These are available in several places online (Hot Topic, Barnes and Noble, The Noble Collection). They're incredibly detailed and just super amazing little figurines! There is a "Magical Creatures" set that pays homage to Harry Potter characters, and there's also a set of Fantastic Beasts, obviously paying homage to the Fantastic Beasts movie. I'll be getting those too- because hey, I love magical creatures!
I'm going to link these from Hot Topic, which is where I originally found them. You can check them out on the other sites listed above as well. I'm listing the ones I have, along with the ones I *want*/*need* to complete the collection.

Furniture!!
There isn't really much in the way of "furniture" in this room. There's the bed- which came from my dad. No idea where it's from or who made it. It's just a comfy Hogwarts bed ;-)
The shelving in the room is all from IKEA
We have four Kallax shelves in black-brown.. They are the ones with the 4 cubby holes. Most of them are laying on their side, and one is standing up for display.
The other shelving unit, when you first walk in the room, up against the Patronus wall is an EKET cabinet. It's the cabinet with four cubbies, pluswe bought feet (known as an "underframe") for the bottom of it. The color of this one is light grey.
I try to shop "smart" at IKEA whenever I can, lol! Quite frequently they have coupons for $25 off your purchase of $150 or more. Easy peasy when you have SO MUCH in your whole house that is IKEA furniture, haha!!! I seriously love that place!
Now, I have lists of things I still *want*/*need* for this room, and it'll be a work in progress for quite some time til I get everything I want. I've done research and have a few sites that I check on frequently and love the stuff they have.
I'm listing them here so you can check them out too. Some of them are places I've bought things from, some of them I haven't but I have my eye on goodies there. The names of the websites are clicky.
Noble Collection
Harry Potter Shop
Universal Orlando Harry Potter Shop
ThinkGeek
And whew!
That's it! All the WHERE's of where I got all of the magical awesomeness that is in our Harry Potter Guest Room <3
