This is one of my favorite rooms.  It's warm and inviting, set up for both conversations and TV viewing.  It's gone through quite a transformation.  The original mantel was just a stucco rectangle.  I made the wood mantel from inexpensive wood trim and boards and attached them directly over the original stucco rectangle.  The focal point carpet hung over the mantle was a design necessity when our Labrador retriever decided it made a nice bed when it was on the floor.   The custom made cushion on the hearth added more seating on a previously wasted space.

Updates to this kitchen include new light fixtures, paint and boarder that accented the Chinese blue and white dishes.  A new inexpensive table and chairs along with a vase of live bamboo completed this room.

This master bedroom has extremely high vaulted ceilings.  Using a canopy over the bed highlighted this feature along with filling the vertical space over the bed.  Positioning the armoire in the corner on a diagonal opened the room up from it's previous position directly opposite the bed.  Purple floral valances were removed from the windows and replaced with an amber silk swag.  A mirror and amber sconces decorate the  wall opposite the bed adding interest and mood lighting. A glider chair with baby blue cushions was covered with a custom made sage slip cover and now looks like it was meant for the room along with a matching foot stool made from scratch.  New bed covers and table lamps finish this room.
