A Master Bedroom in Progress

January 26, 2011

    

I’m in the process of finishing up a client’s master bedroom but couldn’t wait to show you a few pictures I snapped while I was there last week (at night; thus, the poor lighting).  You may remember the original design board and bedding fabrics I blogged about here. 

I won’t give you all the details just yet, but this room was purple when we started and still had all of the (recently married) client’s childhood furniture.

An IKEA Malm chest with a little added bling:

Maybe it’s because they’re newlyweds, but the husband agreed to replace the ceiling fan with one of my very favorite chandeliers from Overstock. . .  (He’s a good guy.)

More details–and better pictures–once this project is all wrapped up.

    Give him a few years and he will want a recliner :)

    Oooooh, keep up the great work on this fun project — and you know I’ll be moving back to Charlotte this weekend and we’ll be closing on our house soon…. which means REDECORATING! I may just have to use your brain! :)

    I. Need. That. Mirror. Absolutely gorgeous!!! Where did you find it? And maybe those chests. How tall is the bed that you can use a chest next to it instead of a nightstand?

    Also, what does it mean on the website when it says, “This furniture must be secured to the wall with the enclosed anti-topple device.” ??? Isn’t it sturdy enough to stand on its own? I can’t believe the difference between the picture on IKEA and the picture on your blog – love the bling!

    Your blog looks great! That Ikea chest looks like a million bucks- where are the pulls from? Smart client to get the master done during the newlywed phase :) Trying to get the hubs to let go of the ceiling fan in our master has been like turning off a UK game right before half-time :) It. ain’t. easy!

    beautiful choices. If I could only see what YOU see when you look at fabrics — combining fabrics is such an art. the same color palette helps but could I combine all these patterns on my own? any chance of doing a short tutorial on your blog?

    back again, wondering if you might use one of those Simple Vera Vera Wang quilted coverlets you posted earlier, to add a pop of color. not sure about the pattern with the duvet, however.

    Emily, the images are so soothing, I felt myself relaxing just looking at them. I have never been one to use neutral colors, but I love how you’re using accessories with wonderful patterns and a slight touch of color to pull together this look.

    Love it!
