Home Decoration ( Traditional Room Setting)

With a beautiful veranda on the exterior, they wanted their interior foyer to be very inviting. Closets were not in abundance in older homes, so we added an armorer from Rustic and changed our handles to create a unique look.
The window treatment, in layers of sheer and printed fabric is a French clip complimented by a decorative scroll rod. The rod is perfect for letting us still see the detailed moldings around the window.

A beautiful Victorian lamp from Vintage Verandah gives the entrance a glow, welcoming anyone coming to visit. We thank Gordie and Carla for asking us to help put the finishing touches on their beautiful home.


Clients objective was to bring a contemporary shabby chic atmosphere to a traditional room setting. To divide the living and dining areas from the hall we added a bulkhead and columns with raised panels framing the interior setting with crown moldings, giving the clients a whole new look.

Make Your Children’s Bedroom Larger Using Bunk Beds.



There is a room in our homes that is specified for our children. When it comes to be one child in the room, you will find it easy to furnish it without caring about the space in your child’s bedroom because all what you need is just one bed, desk and other small items that your child may need. But what is going to happen when you have two children or more? How are you going to prepare your children’s bedroom?

2014 Bedroom Trends Must Love

The bedroom; one of the most sacred rooms of the house and one of the rooms where we spend the most time (even if it’s to merely sleep).  It can also be one of the few room where you can design and decorate it to meet your particular tastes, and not have to worry what Tom, Dick and Harry thinks, as they’ll never see it.  For couples, there needs to be a balance, a juggling act, sacrificing personal extremes and coming to an agreement on a design that works for both.

 The beautiful dandelion example below, to me, speaks something about me and my life.  It is more than a nice looking picture; and this is what to aim for within this trend, which will be a popular one for 2014.

Natural Materials

Natural tones, wood features, metals, stone & brick.  These are all in for 2014.  Use natural tongue and groove wooden panels, brick or brick veneer  for walls (like the photo above).  Use natural materials as features in the room such as the room below, where Murphy Code have used chunky thick planks of wood, showcasing the natural grooves and curves, which jumps out from the bed as a feature on the wall behind, weaved around well place sconce lighting: Loving it.  It’s a trend which will be seen throughout the entire house in 2014, and the bedroom won’t miss out on this one. 

Rustic

Rustic, natural and rugged.  As with the cool soft design from Australia below, this is about using country materials and colors.  Natural accessories such as the branches (Silver Birch or painted white?) in the photo below, adds a real rustic feel to the room.  Similar to the point above, but edging more towards a house in the country as opposed to a city apartment.  That raw, natural, rustic feel to a room will be a solid trend through 2014 and beyond.

Hotel Influence

Some will loathe this one, but hotel style bedrooms are edging their foot through the door of home bedroom design.  Look for large roomy beds, extravagant, yet universal headboards, bringing in the practical elements such as bedside lighting, table and chairs and large windows to let in a lot of natural light.

Look for luxurious hotel designs and not cheap tacky motel style rooms.  Lighting is one of the most important factors in affecting the mood of people, and that’s where the soft mood lighting of hotel rooms work.  Add some plants and greenery to add an extra warm homely inviting atmosphere.

Among other that you will see here below. Pick one and apply in your bedroom to trend in 2014.
