Berkshire Estate: Master Bedroom + Master Bath

If I had a master suite like the

BERKSHIRE'S  MASTER BEDROOM + BATH

I may want to hide out forever and never see the light of day again. 

Out of every room I have ever designed, this space reflects my personal style the most.

After searching high and low for large scaled bed and nightstands, we decided to go the custom route.

I sketched up the upholstered wing back bed for my upholsterer and my client worked 

with her cabinet maker to create the substantial sized nightstands.  

(Can  you spot the lucite pulls? I mean, I die...)

Anything ready made would have looked under scaled under this vaulted ceiling. 

The rug was a design obstacle as we needed something around the 12'x16' range. 

The solution? Flor tiles!! Not only were we able to get the size that fit the room, 

we were also able to customize the color palette and design. 

You'll see a lot more of these awesome Flor tiles throughout this home.  

For the MASTER BATHROOM we 

decided to go a little more glamorous than the rest of the house.

Beveled mirrors, crystal knobs/pulls and amazing light fixtures.

I could just lie in the tub and stare at the Capiz shell chandelier for hours.

We used a mix of materials throughout this space. The free standing tub surround is limestone, 

the counter tops are stained concrete, with porcelain tiles for the back splash and floor.

Add in some dark stained cabinetry for contrast and you have yourself one rich looking bath!

Tomorrow we'll take a tour through the kid's spaces
(did someone say ball pit with a slide?).

Sneak Peek: Berkshire Master Bedroom

 I am so excited to get a few detail shots of my projects back!

Today's preview is of a newly constructed custom home where I assisted in 

designing details from the custom upholstered bed down to the doorknobs and hinges. 

Here's a sneak peek at

 THE BERKSHIRE MASTER BEDROOM.

A lot of sweat and tears went into this project. 

Totally. Worth It.

My photographer, Jylare, was amazing. I mean, AMAZING.

The girl has some serious talent, as you will see in upcoming posts.

Stay tuned for the full reveal next week and for more sneak peeks of another project tomorrow!

I'm a day or so late, but if you haven't heard, you need to run over to 

JOSS & MAIN

 because 

THE DECORISTA

has curated a sales event.  Here are some of my favorite picks:

 

Did you know that this Harry Allen piggy bank is cast from a real taxidermy piglet?

I'm haven't decided if it's a conversation piece or just plain gross.

We'll go for interesting conversation piece for now..

It'll knock your socks off.

Feminine Bedroom: So Fresh and So Clean Bedroom

If I was a single gal, my bedroom would be light, feminine and 

SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN.

Every room needs a little animal something or other and this fur throw does the trick (this is a much better option than the taxidermy peacock on the nightstand.  That may be a little too Alfred Hitchcock in the wee hours of the morning...).

Summer to Fall Transitional Style

Happy September!  

Now, more than ever, I am dreaming of slightly cooler temperatures 

and keeping an eye on those mountain leaves, hoping for a glimmer of autumn...  

Until then, I have great images like this to 

TRANSITION FROM SUMMER TO FALL.

I like to think that this girl:

...lives here:

...and I wish I was her.
