Paint, lattice, and a nail gun turned this sunny but boring room into a master retreat.
Like many rooms in our home, the master bedroom was unremarkable. Three large windows brought in a lot of light, but the stained floors, uneven ceilings, and ugly baseboard radiators didn't do anything to add charm. We created a relaxing retreat with a simple lattice treatment, color, neutral bedding, and a few pops of color.
The room started with three big windows but little interest.
Chris used a nail gun to apply inexpensive lattice, creating a board-and-batten effect. Read more this project.
The 160-year old windows were badly in need of refinishing. The painters cleaned, restored, and repainted them to look like new.
The two-tone paint scheme creates a bright, happy space with a dark ceiling that recedes, making the ceilings feel taller.
After painting our inexpensive bed frame, we wrapped it in neutral ticking fabric.
Using an upholstery stapler, Chris "gift wraps" the headboard in the fabric.
Our Wrap Star sconces hang over vintage milking stools.
A custom slipcover for this old love seat adds color.
We had a slipcover made for this vintage chair. Roger painted the legs red.
This vintage milk stool makes a great bedside table.
Wood blinds from Smith+Noble offer a vintage touch.
Bright and airy in the day. Relaxing at night.

A cute, 160-year old Italianate Victorian had the potential to be a stunning garden house - but only after taming the garden, adding style to the porches, and applying some unexpected new colors.
We completely redesigned the interior and exterior of our modern home in Austin, Texas. Come take a look inside.
We've gathered some of our favorite sofas and armchairs in gorgeous blue velvets, along with design inspiration from around the web.
Roger and I decided that board-and-batten would make a nice addition to the look of our master bedroom. This time, I tackled the project myself. Here's how to do it and what you'll need for the project.
What a difference a few degrees can make. The snow is retreating. Birds are chirping. The crowds have returned to the village.
We bought a modern, metal desk for our home office. It has clean lines, fun casters, and looks great. We bought it last summer. I loved it. And now it's winter. And I hate it.
According to Clairee Belcher in Steel Magnolias, all gay men have track lighting, and all gay men are named Mark, Rick, or Steve. We're not named Mark, Rick, or Steve, but otherwise I'm afraid we're playing to stereotypes. Because we love track lighting. Here's why.
