Almost anything can inspire a room makeover. Love for a color, architectural elements, or a photograph. For our client, Renee, her inspiration was simply a pillow.
This embroidered pillow, with it’s clean linen and beautiful peacock, inspired Renee to change her bedroom and her wish for a modern-romantic bedroom began.
The colors made it easy to find complementary shades of teal and green for window treatments and other items, and adding a few design elements such as a birdcage to the mix was only the beginning for making Renee’s wish a reality.

I’m always looking for ways to make the redesign extra special for each person, so for Renee, I wanted to create a piece of artwork which we added to the mix of greatness.
Silly me forgot to take a photo of the pillow so I could follow the design well, and of course, could not find another one like it, so I had to rely on memory to get the drawing started and here’s what I came up with:
Finally, pulling the room together was way more fun than it should have been, as I had some great ideas I wanted to try. First of all, the home has some great dormer windows, but in the Master Bedroom, it didn’t quite lend itself to be a useable space other than a little nook with a window seat. So instead of trying to make it look like just another nook, I actually wanted to do a little bit of something different to this dormer window.
Below is the dormer window before, as well as where the bed was originally located…
… and then after. Installing double rods, really cool ones I might add, and being creative with ready-made curtain panels turned the dormer window into a cozy little nook, and better yet, helped add more interest to the room.
Finally, the room was completed -
