Blue, Cream & Espresso Master Bedroom Retreat


I'm so excited to reveal my latest decorating project!

Here is my client's room BEFORE...


I had a blank slate to work with (every decorator's dream)  

Here is the relaxing retreat AFTER!


I used Sherwin Williams Meditative, which is a soft gray blue, in the master bedroom and repositioned the bed from the window wall.  The candle sconces over the bed came from Target.

I got the best SCORE ever on the bedding.  It was FREE on Craig's List.  Always check the "FREE" section; you never know what you will find!  It was brand new Candace Olsen bedding worth $400!

I love this little tree pillow I found at a garage sale for $1!

The lamps were in my "stash" and I painted them bronze (they were silver) and bought linen look shades at Wal-Mart.  The lamps are elevated on books I found at Goodwill.  For instant "oomph" I love adding fresh flowers to any room.

In a casual room, I love to lean art instead of hanging.  The hurricane was a Goodwill find for $1.99.

This is the wall across from the bed.  

I made the art with 12x12 frames found on clearance at Garden Ridge.  They were black and I spray painted them Espresso.  I used scrapbook paper and decals inside the frames.  This is a cheap, easy way to create your own art!

I found this HUGE lantern at Home Goods on clearance for $15.  I placed candles and shells inside.

My client has beautiful family photography, which I had printed in sepia tone.  I used more scrapbook paper to create the 4 frame art piece at the top of the arrangement.  

I ordered a chocolate plush chaise lounge that will go in this corner.

I used panels on either side of the window wall, just to soften it up a bit.  

Instead of a curtain rod, I used $.99 hooks from Home Depot and clip rings.  I dressed up the plain panels with some ribbon trim at the top.

The art niche outside the master bedroom was painted to match and I refinished a vase to go inside.

The vase was white.  I spray painted espresso, then added some of the blue color and a metallic glaze over the whole thing.

I also did some sprucing up in her bathroom.  Here it is BEFORE...


And AFTER...

We used a little darker blue than the bedroom. I added shelves and patterned towels to the chocolate towels she already had.

 These are baskets I got with bath & body gifts.  I never throw these out and they look great spray painted espresso!

The owner had these glass pieces, which I dressed up with a little ribbon trim.  I filled with shells & soaps.

A little bud vase with fresh flowers is a nice touch in the bathroom.


So, that's what has kept me away from blogging for the last couple of weeks.  I am so pleased with how the room turned out and the owners loved it as well.  Success!

So here's what I've been busy doing!

So, here's what I've been so busy working on!  These are mood boards for a client's master bedroom.  She likes earth tones and she's not afraid of color (love that!)  She wanted a restful retreat with a spa-like feel.  I looked at pictures of some of the rooms in the world's top spa resorts for inspiration and came up with 3 options for her to choose from.

Option #1 - Rust/Chocolate/Cream with Oil Rubbed Bronze accents

Lime, Turquoise & Gray


I recently did a decorating consultation for a teacher friend (she was Pierce's 1st grade teacher).   Amanda and her husband, Brad, are quite handy and took my ideas and ran with them!  Their kitchen is an apple green color:

It is open to the family room so the challenge was to find a color scheme that worked well with the green.  We decided on a green/turquoise/gray scheme. 



Here is the mood board I created for her room:
Here is what Amanda and Brad have accomplished so far.  They did all of this during Spring Break week.  I'm ultra impressed!

Here's the beautiful architectural detail of the ceiling in their foyer BEFORE...



Here's the "WOW" after!

They painted the inset turquoise and hung a beautiful new chandelier.  I love how the lights look like candles!

Here's the family room BEFORE...


Here's the AFTER!

They are looking for the perfect round coffee table.  Don't you love that turquoise niche?  The mirror was in their foyer.  Brad will be building cornices for the windows.

Have you drooled over the fillable lamp at Pottery Barn?  I know I have.  Target now offers a similar version for $50!  Amanda wanted to get my approval before she removed the plastic.  I love it!  She's going to fill it with Granny Smith apples!

Amanda collects wine corks and she put together this little arrangement.  Isn't it cute?

I'll be posting more pictures of Amanda and Brad's house as they complete this project!

Carie's house (post #6) - the family room curtains



The "no sew" curtains we did in the family room.

Carie's house (post #5) - more finishing touches


Pic #1 - We recovered the barstools with the same fabric we used on the curtains and valances. Pic #2 - We added iron pieces on either side of the entry to the breakfast area, to define the space.
