bedroom addition on a 60's home.
Room was added to rear of house,
and previous outside window was
closed off between spaces. Rather
than blocking off this side, it was
decided to make the area into inset
shelving. Walls will be painted with a
ragging technique, stenciling will be
added, and curtains installed over
windows.
and installation of shelving and
curtains. The medium green over
pale green ragging on the walls
results in a soft, relaxing color, and
complements the comforter on the
new day-bed. When not in use, the
owner's stereo and bedroom TV are
hidden inside an older curved front
armoire. The concrete floor was
covered in new oak hardwood
flooring. Additional shelving near the
ceiling, painted in the same pale
green used on the walls, was added
to hold an extensive stuffed animal
collection. A ceiling fan with
appropriate lighting helps complete
the look. Another view of the room is
below, looking back the other
direction. Rope lighting was laid on
the top of the closet behind the silk
flowers to provide accent lighting.
bedroom make-over in a 50's bungalow
to reflect a nautical theme, specifically
lighthouses. The room was already
painted in flat white, which was retained
to complement the sea-side feeling of
the accessories. New draperies in a
striped print pick up the colors in the
border print as well as the paintings and
lighthouse vignettes. The natural wood
dresser and bed complete the nautical
feel.
Finding the accessories was one of the
more important steps of this make-over,
ensuring that they worked together
without overpowering the space.
Careful arrangement and use of special
focal pieces, such as the painting over
the bed, ensured that this room met the
owner's needs and desires.
