Master Bedroom Design

This has to top as one of my favorite rooms I've done.  There wasn't a lot of space to work with, and practically some big challenges.  But the clients were beyond lovely.... being some of our dearest of friends :)  And it helps that they have impeccable taste.  So aside from the cow hide (wink)  I didn't have to work at convincing them on any of the design elements.  And there were lots of good suggestions on their part.







The Redford House side tables are lovely....  did I mention we are offering a sale on Redford House until the end of the month??


We chose to remove the cabinet under this awkward wall, push it back and put in open shelves.  The contractor was able to take wood from under the shelves and replace it where the small wall once stood.  They matched it perfectly!  It really opened up this corner.




I had always envisioned this paneled wall/office built in, and I'm thrilled with the results!  The Barbara Barry wall sconces are not too shabby either!!  LOOOOVE!



The fan was a must.  The room can be warm.  They previously had a standing fan in the room, so it just made sense to install this beauty.  Fan and beauty are not normally in the same sentence, but if there ever was a lovely fan, this was it.  I strongly encouraged all white just so that it didn't draw ANY attention.



This bedroom is an oasis for a very busy couple with 4 children!  Late evenings consist of tea and tv as they wind down for the night.  So the TV posed a bit of an issue... as it usually does with good design :)  We had Westland build this cabinet where the tv came right out with a remote control when needed.  And tucks safely away into this stunning piece to reveal lovely windows and outside window boxes brimming with flowers

  The corner unit with the fireplace was frankly, ugly.  I knew marble was right up the clients alley.  Plus, while in bed the fireplace is virtually unseen.   So we had the fireplace raised and a linear unit installed.  The wall was framed to the ceiling and tiled with exquisite Calcutta marble.  This was no easy feat for the guys working with all the angles.  But the result is just as I envisioned.














I am so thankful for this project and to work with my lovely friend.  Im also thankful for Westland Developments who did the contruction, cabinetry and tiling.  One more thanks to the photographer who makes every room look sunny: Janis Nicolay
