Spacious and Chic: Michelle's Master Bedroom!


When Michelle first asked me to design her master bedroom, I knew I wanted to do a look that was both calm and sophisticated. Combining soft greys and creams with luxe accessories made for a space that is comfortable for Michelle and her husband, and has plenty of unique touches to perfectly describe their style!

The large size of this bedroom allowed us to install some really eye-catching features. Extra tall bead board paneling makes the ceilings appear even higher and helps draws the eye up to the fantastic wallpapered ceiling.

With the paneling and wallpaper installed, this room really called for some awesome furniture choices! I custom designed several pieces for Michelle from Newport Cottages and we choose a soft white for the finish. I also added some delicate glass pulls to complete the look. Now, this couple has plenty of storage via their new bedside tables, dresser and highboy.

 Next up, choosing just the right fabrics. The carpeting in the room has a small diamond pattern that was fun to mix with other larger scale prints.

I love the antique look of this chair and ottoman, especially recovered in a fun, new fabric!

I carried the diamond pattern over into the custom bedding to help to tie the room together. I also added a fresh floral for the euros and duvet, and then a crisp stripe for the bolster.

Now for the accessories! A special touch by the bed are these glass ball lamp bases, they're subtle but also provide a little glam.

 A tufted bench was a must for the end of the bed. Benches are always great because they provide a comfy spot to put on your shoes in the morning, or a place to set extra pillows. I love the dark beige upholstery and how it helps to anchors the piece in the room.

This table is so unique and fits so effortlessly into the space. It is one of my favorite features in the room. I love adding something a little unexpected and this metal side table is just right!

A few more glamorous accents were in order for the dresser area, as well as a full length mirror for the room. Loving the style of this decorative sunburst mirror!

Before...and Happily Ever After: Four Finished Spaces Complete!

It's been one installation after another at the Bungalow and I'm so excited to be posting the finished spaces I've been working on for Elisabeth!
The master bath is now complete!
(Beach Bungalow Designs)
I always love posting some great before & after shots, check out the master bath before:

 It was a little dark and had none of Elisabeth's glamour- so we decided to go with a gorgeous statement wallpaper, lighter finishes and custom moldings and mirrors.

I absolutely love the gathered balloon shades I did for the curved windows, they completely change the feel of the space!
(Beach Bungalow Designs)
Switching up the chandeliers and sconces was a must- I choose these beauties for their ability to blend well with the rest of the house and for their extra sparkle!

Some sweet frames and stately artwork help finish off the master bath.

So much lighter and brighter! A few extras like changing the hardware, fixtures and painting the ceiling helped make this master feel even more luxurious. 

Next up, re-designing the hallway to the playroom and incorporating an awesome gallery wall by Rebecca Jelsing:

 Beautiful frames and images!

Finding just the right runner was a challenge, but I think the subtle colors and print perfectly complement Rebecca's gallery...which leads us right on into the playroom!

Before Elisabeth called me, this area was an unused space just off the main entry, and was a little dark for a family room.
Now it's a cozy spot for the whole family to enjoy!
Removing the shutters and installing custom draperies was essential-and I love the prints we chose!

Custom pillows help make this leather sofa a little more comfortable, and a play table with oversized chalkboard is a great spot for drawing and projects!

So many great details in this room, the rustic, spherical chandelier is a favorite, and so is this custom growth chart from Etsy.

 The chicken wire framing casts an awesome shadow.

I chose a pale green seagrass wallpaper for the walls, a lighter white for the ceiling and a soft, off-white rug to anchor the space. The room feels much brighter and warmer, perfect for Elisabeth and her family!
Last space I have to show you is a nook just off the kitchen and formal dining area:

This mirror was such a find- it's a stand out and really brings the whole room together.
