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!

A Tried & True Nautical Theme Get's a Modern Twist

When it comes to designing a nautical themed room, it can be easy to go a little overboard...Get it? 

Just a little joke to start off our latest post but also a true statement!

For this little boy's nursery I made sure my client had plenty of ocean themed accessories and items in the room, but also gave it a fun twist with unexpected prints and pops of oranges and reds!

New Arrivals has recently come out with some amazing and bright chevron, polka dot and large stripe prints that couldn't be more perfect for this project.

Next up:  finding classic, clean-lined furniture that echoed my client's style.

Newport Cottages' Panel crib was obvious choice number one, especially because it can be stained to the perfect shade of brown my client desires. Check out the great color on the one here at the Beach Bungalow store:

The dresser was another quick pick, Newport's double dresser has tons of storage and can be stained to match the crib.

For a home run in keeping with our theme and adding another eye-catching storage element into the room, the rowboat bookcase!

(Newport Cottages)

Here's another shot of the bookcase from Chase's Room installation a few month's back; one of my favorite thing's about this bookcase is that even though it's an unusual shape, you still have plenty of space for books and toy storage.

For the rug I wanted something soft and fun with a pop of bright color. This one was absolutely on target!

(The Rug Market)

As far as artwork was concerned, there were plenty of different pieces to choose from. We finally narrowed it down to these selections all from Oopsy Daisy Artwork:

  Loving all the different background patterns and shades of orange, red and blue!

 I can't wait to see the final result of this modern nautical nursery! It's always an adventure deciding which direction the design of the room will take. Is there a new design scheme or look you've always wanted to try? Come on down to the Bungalow and let's test it out!

Bold Blues & Bright Pinks for Sweet Claire & Katherine Grace

It's finally time to show off our last double installation of 2013! A big girl room with two adorable twin beds for Claire, and a bold navy and pink nursery for her new sister Katherine.

 There's nothing cuter than these Beverly Collection twin beds from Newport Cottages in blue with white detail! Except maybe that Claire requested a matching monogram pillow for her baby sister:)

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

From the striped bed skirts, to the ribboned duvets, to the brightly hued fabrics - there's no shortage on fun colors in this big girl room!

You can never have too much pink, and this custom cornice board and drapery ties everything in perfectly. Newport's Celine bookcase echoes the scalloped edge of the cornice and provides plenty of storage for Claire's books and toys.

The pale yellow wall color is one of my favorites, and this dresser does double duty as an extra changer.

Flower coat hooks just above the chair rail give Claire a fun place to hang her jackets and robe. This simple but sweet personalized step stool finishes off the space with a touch of pink!

Here's a quick look at Katherine Grace's beautiful nursery...

 This pink chevron dust ruffle edged in navy blue is so unique!- the coordinating stripes on the walls really make the colors pop.
