A few months ago, I gave you an “in progress” glimpse of an
e-designed bedroom in Atlanta. It was based on a French, tone on tone theme.
Look at it now… 
e-designed bedroom in Atlanta. It was based on a French, tone on tone theme.
Look at it now…
We used matelassé bedding that she already had and incorporated a velvet headboard from
Ballard Design and a custom bolster.
Love the new wainscoting.
Here is the original plan that I designed and Karen implemented…

| Plan by Chez Vous Home including sources and floor plan. |
The room before.
The former desk is now a young lady’s vanity. We were able to use her crystal lamps.
I like to incorporate existing furnishings, as much as possible.
Thank you, Karen, for taking these photos!
Isn’t her daughter gorgeous?
Also in Atlanta, I just finished an e-design for family with young children.
The client loves the tufted navy sofa look (so do I), but just in case this look was too pricey,
I included a second slipcovered option.
The biggest change in this room will be painting the dated stained
wood wainscoting and shelving to lighten the space…got to convince the husband! That’s why we are softening him up with his own leather chair! I also recommend installing the television in the bookcase and away from entrance to the room.
Included is a floor plan and sources.
And back to the new bedroom… Even though Karen is across the country
and she and I have only spoken by telephone and email,
I truly feel like she is a new friend. I hope I get to meet her in person one day.
Can you tell that the ceiling was painted a soft blue gray?
Would you benefit from an e-design?

March 13, 2012 at 10:52 amLove the before and after of the bedroom…its so sophisticated and beautiful with a lovely French vibe. And the living room boards- gorgeous! Cannot wait to see it all come to life!

March 13, 2012 at 12:00 pmI love that bedroom – sophisticated and soft. Your designs are amazing, Mary Ann. In my dreamworld you would design my whole home for me! 🙂
Holly says
March 13, 2012 at 12:08 pmIt's beautiful and a room that she'll enjoy for a long time. I love that first shot where you see the headboard, bolster, bedding – it's beautiful. And I love the second design board that you put together for the living room. I saw a TV built into a shelf yesterday on Houzz and thought that was a great option. It was still in plain view but it wasn't the main focal point of the room.

Carol@HouseandHomeDefined.com says
March 14, 2012 at 11:56 pmThat bedroom is really great. The velvet is so inviting. I love fabric you want to touch and snuggle up against, especially on a bed. So, so nice. I laughed at the bribe of the leather chair in return for painted woodwork — a battle I have yet to win after 18 years. I hope she gets her way!! The two versions of the room are wonderful to compare, and I think they are equally beautiful.

March 15, 2012 at 1:49 amHi, I'm Karen, Mary Ann's client. I can't tell you how much my daughter Caroline loves her room. I told Mary Ann that my friends have asked "do you sleep in there when your husband travels?" (Caroline is away at college). No, I haven't done that, but I do hope to have Mary Ann create a design for my master bedroom. I wish she could do my entire house, too! I am so thrilled that I've gotten to know Mary Ann and can't wait to meet her in person. This has been so much fun!

March 21, 2012 at 9:09 pmI'm wondering where the bed frame came from…I couldn't link over to Chez Vous Home. I've never seen one like it. Mary Ann, my heart skipped a beat at the sight of this room! Beautiful!
