Traditional Bedroom: Design Board Winner

Let me tell you, what a dream space my design board winner, Kitty, has!  She asked me for a neutral bedroom of grays and beige, with a pop of color.  Here it is, then I'll explain...

Kitty wanted something traditional, with slip covers for her existing chairs, maybe a sisal, and she has the round table that needs some refinishing (it's oak, and I'm suggesting she strip and wax it for a natural look).  She sent me some inspiration pictures that showed pops of color, but wasn't sure how to incorporate it.  Because she also sent me pictures of some beautiful 4 x 6 orientals she's collected in her travels, I went with red as the "pop."  What I see in this space is putting one of those rugs in the small area that you see behind that open door.  Then, the color gets picked up in the room with the pillows.

Here are some before pictures...

(This is where one of the beautiful orientals with red should go.)

How much would you love to have this ceiling??  A few of you asked, since you know I love to do windows, how I was going to handle the angles by the windows.  My answer to Kitty is to leave the rod she has, as is.  It really is the only option.  And, this room must have panels to balance the ceiling.

Being an avid DIYer, Kitty is going to be sewing the panels, pillows and slipcovers herself, along with redoing the table.  This will go a long way toward staying within her budget.

I hope you've enjoyed this process!  And, if you'd like me to tackle your space, click on Design Services here or next to my picture and let's get started.

Happy Sunday,
