In the Bedroom

There are spaces that offer little architectural detail. But I subscribe to the thought there is no problem a little fabric and lots of color can't solve. The empty bedroom below was nothing special. It's located in a stately Washington, DC mid-rise building near the National Cathedral. The occupant has a flair for color and a strong sense of style. Sheer fabric was used to drape the adjoining walls behind the bed. Bead fringe swags topped it off... now, that's special.

Plum and chartreuse pillows....loving it!

A large bedroom window was draped in the same sheer style as behind the bed.

If you have a piece you absolutely love don't get rid of it just because it gets a little torn or tattered.... have it reupholstered in a striking color or pattern.

Luxury in Bed

There's a sleeping arrangement for everyone with these beds. One can take a casual nap on these sheer covered white upholstered twin daybeds. The sheer window treatments add to the room's light and flowing feel...That's exactly how I would feel with the window raised, letting in a cool night breeze.

The faux fur at the foot of the bed adds a touch of sophistication and flair... Coupled with the rustic feel of the other items in the room rustic and refined coexist beautifully.

The use of Kente fabric was a sign of royalty in the former gold coast/Ghana...drape it across a wood or bamboo, bed for an organic touch.
