They like the brightness of the room, but currently have no way to bring the light level down during the day. And the light walls and ceiling, and broad, uncovered expanse of flooring aren't helping with the intimate feel they would like for the bedroom.We started by going over a list of what they would like to change in the rooms...then talked budget. Together, we soon realized that the $$ were going to run out long before the last item on the list was accomplished! But that doesn't mean that we couldn't make significant changes to make the room more warm and relaxing, and still stay within the dollar amount they'd like to spend for now. As they say, "The Way To Do Things Is To Begin", right?
So we pared the list down and came up with priorities that would make immediate and meaningful impact. At the top of our list are mouldings. A heavy crown mould will be added into the junction to the tray ceiling, which will dress the space up and actually bring attention to the fact that there is a detail in the ceiling. We also plan to trim out the arch opening into the master bath, and soften the curve of ths opening at the top.
Once trims have been installed, darker paint colors will go up to make the space feel cozier, and add personality. Here you see paint samples being tested.
We've ordered 3" louvered shutters for the windows and French doors, and we have samples of beautiful fabrics to consider for fixed side-panels on the windows. While this is going on, we're gathering bids for a built-in cabinet to surround the flat-screen TV and accommodate the electronics equipment, and furniture shopping has started. With careful consideration and shopping, we're going to end up with a whole new room! I'll show more as the project develops!
