Modern Living Room Design: Bedroom

I'm pretty sure there is a bed in crazytown waiting for me right now. I mean..... come spring if I am still standing I want a crown and a proper celebration.

But enough about me.....I'm trying to answer a few questions about the bathroom and foyer makeover on the previous post!

Powder room wallpaper: Waters Edge Dove BW45070.1

Foyer wallpaper: Thibaut Grasscloth

I don't have any info for you about the stained tile floors because I just told them what I wanted and they did it. I know it was a stain...that is about it!

I am going to give you a few detail shots from my recent install. It is not 100% finished and I definitely want to get some professional pictures since I only have these from my iphone.

So let's start from the beginning....

House built in the 70's....huge master bedroom.

Real Estate shot

My job: To cozy up this bad boy and give them a sanctuary while the kitchen, LR and family room get renovated!

Color scheme: soft pretty blues.

Floor plan.....

Sitting area....a place to watch TV and some storage with 2 large dressers.

I know my client/friend....she likes "pretty" and blue is probably her favorite color. Even better..... that she really does trust me [especially since I have done 3 homes for her over 20 years!]

At first we were just going to get a smaller chest in the space below but with the side bookcases....that would limit the TV size and just make it look like we squeezed everything in there.

So.....another one of those "while we are at it" moments we took out this section of bookcases!

Much better right?

And this really doesn't show you anything....but it was all I got.

I recovered this sofa and 2 chairs she already had to use in the seating area....

Both of these had good lines so it was worth giving them new life.

The doors still make me giddy....with the added trim and new Emtek hardware!

Added this pretty trim to the bedskirt and tableskirt....

Pretty Chaise....needs a pillow:)

I think you can kind of get it!

We still need a piece of art over the sofa which I hope will happen soon.

It amazing what you do with a little paint and new carpet.....OK....curtains and new furniture.....OK maybe with a little accessorizing....but the room did have good light.....so there's that:)

Hope you guys are having a great week....somehow I got another cold [one month apart] weird right? This one is in the head as opposed to my previous chest cold. I am back on NyQuil and DayQuil.....didn't I just wean myself from that?

I'm just happy that it's not the flu. Like I always say.....silver linings.

Lord it has been a while since I have had a good before and after!

But before we get all "designy" thanks for all of your suggestions about my nasty rotten cold. After a week and a half I think I've turned the corner. It's weird because I feel like such a complainer...... and I think it was because I forgot what a cold feels like!

I better save that for something serious like cancer.

Lesson learned.

OK....down to business. We had not gotten to my clients guest room yet but they were having family for Christmas and he asked if there was a way I could turn it around quickly.

You guys know I am always up for a challenge [even sick] so I accepted.

Luckily there was furniture so it was mostly the fun stuff.

They were waiting for the mattress which came on Tuesday.

Before

I wasn't going to reinvent the wheel since I only had about a day and 1/2 to shop.

After

I stuck with white bedding.....sheets from PB Duvet from BBB and the coverlet from Target. I happen to have the black and white pillows that I bought from the July Market so that was my starting point!

I scored this throw from HomeGoods which was perfect! I actually went to three other HG's looking for another one. My sister who helped me with the install could not believe I was letting it go:)

At the last minute I threw these baskets in my car [that I already had] just in case I needed them and it turned out to be the perfect thing!

I looked everywhere for lamps. Since the end tables were small I ended up useing these from Target. The good thing is that using some less inexpensive things allowed me spend more on art.

Before

After

It was the 11th hour when I stumbled upon these cute stools from Target.

After

I scored this art at HG's....

There are a few stores I always pop into for some good accessories and one is Noah & Co. I scored this pillow which again...the stars were definitely aligned!
