Cozy up with one of these classic tufted designs of your choice. What I love most about tufted furniture has to be its no-fuss seat/back cushions. Tight, tailored, and totally timeless.

MASTER BEDROOM MAKEOVER
A Master Bedroom receives a extreme makeover courtesy of Erika Ward Interiors.
My client has lived in this house for 6 years and has a home full of beautiful, well-made furniture. She had made significant progress in decorating the main level of the home, but very little progress in her Master Bedroom. Her only purchase so far was an elegantly upholstered bed with nail head trim (as shown below) and she requested that it be included in her design plan.
I approached this project with the intention of creating a restful retreat my client could come home to after a demanding day on the job.
In the initial consultation, the client mentioned that she would be looking to move within the next year. With that in mind, I installed crown moulding in the bedroom (great for resale) and carefully chose accessories that would give the greatest impact.

THE FURNITURE
The initial plan was to have a mix of furnishings, but my client preferred to have furniture from the same collection. I presented the Metropolitan Collection/Brownstone Furniture sold through Erika Ward Interiors and she was smitten! Each piece is made from solid plantation grown mahogany, wears and espresso finish with antique gold crackled trim, and has solid brass hardware.
My client and I are very pleased with the outcome of this design and the improvements made for resale. What other improvements can you make to a bedroom that will attract future buyers?

SMITTEN BY ROCHE BOBOIS
From the time I was introduced to the French language and culture, I've had a natural affection for everything French or French-inspired. One of my absolute favorite French furniture designers is Roche Bobois. Beautiful and environmental conscious, their customizable furniture is divided into three collections: LES CONTEMPORAINS (vibrant, avant garde pieces), LES PROVINCIALES (furniture influenced by exotic destinations), and LES VOYAGES (french inspired furniture adapted to today's lifestyle).
I could just get lost in the tones and textures of this serene bedroom. Leather headboard, woven furnishings, plush wool rug, and I'd be willing to bet the bedding is made from the softest merino wool.
Clearly, I am a chair fanatic. How beautiful is this silver painted Louis XVI armchair? I'm daydreaming of replicating this finish by utilizing a silver leafing technique. I spy burlap curtains. Do you? Get a closer look on their website.
Chillax: To loosen or reduce the level of stress by employing a more calm and less intense demeanor. What better place can you think of to kick back and unwind with food, wine, and your closest friends?
Warm weather combined with a swanky pool and an awesome view, a poolside bed could only be the icing on the cake. This may be as good as it gets! Wouldn't you agree?

Tastemaker Tuesday: Darryl Carter
"Furnishing a room is like hosting a good party. Gather interesting, different characters and let them mingle."- Darryl Carter
Washington, D.C. based interior designer, Darryl Carter has quickly become one of my favorite contemporary designers. I first fell for his furniture line developed for Thomasville and later became enamored with his lighting collection for The Urban Electric Company. His style transcends time making his pieces the perfect heirlooms. "One of the outstanding hallmarks of our design is its longevity which is produced by honoring classical elements of the past and present, from the modern to the antique," as stated on his company's website. I found a few of my favorite Darryl Carter pieces featured in O at Home and Traditional Home magazines.
Feast your eyes on these:
This dining area is so crisp and tailored with a hint of Swedish design influence.
This kitchen is so stylized, yet unpretentious.It appears to be small in size, but packs loads of panache!
The Lafayette Hang fixture provides a sophisticated, high end look
to this otherwise ordinary salon.
I just recently spec'd this nightstand for a client's master bedroom and she absolutely loved it.
