Laurel & Carys' Room
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
When Carole asked me to help decorate
her new home, her first priority was a room for
her granddaughter's Laurel Julia & Carys
Reese. She had wonderful antique harp beds
and linens meticulously sewn for these beds
that had been pristinely preserved.
Carole knew she wanted bed crowns, and
we shopped endlessly. We found some online
and I decided that I would be able to make
them instead. I enjoyed buying a new jigsaw
and tried my first attempt working with
bendable plywood. They came out exactly
how we had hoped. I was able to find a
beautiful complimentary embroidered silk
fabric for the bed crowns and the windows.
I made a balloon shade to compliment the
room. I hung the shade high to give height to
the window and the room. I always try to
"cheat" the window height when it needs it.
Carole's painter was solid booked so I painted
the room and hung the chandelier. The color
is Benjamin Moore's Misty Memories. I wish I
had taken more before photos because this
room is unrecognizable from where we started.
Her girls have come and put their stamp on
the room with colorful accessories and I'll
update my photos with their final touches.
Carole and I worked together making a
beautiful guest room (click here to see) and
now we are moving on to her living
room/dining room and her bedroom.
