My mother-in-law is in for a treat! Surprise renovation underway…

She knows we are renovating her room and at the ripe YOUNG age of 63 🙂 i’m not worried about her seeing this post!  My beautiful mother-in-law announced the day before they left to go back to Cali that she ‘didn’t like the vibe in the room anymore’. she wants vibrant but peaceful, sexy and classic…she’s a throwback to the glamorous 1920’s hollywood so whatever we do HAS to be luxe and timeless.  we needed to provide more storage for her 100 pairs of shoes, hats, etc (read: custom builtin) and a proper place for their bar (yes! they need a bar!). new window treatments will provide blackout for afternoon naps and sheer panels for the strong summer sun that streams in. wood floors will let them spill whatever they want! and a luxurious white shag carpet will give her just enough softness between her toes.  we have some glass beading and crystal in store for her across the board. and bless her husband who doesn’t care what we do to their room, as long as she’s happy. they move back in ‘for the season’ on april 2, so its gonna be a whirlwind getting this all to happen.

starting to move things out of the room:

 

 

work in progress — bye bye nasty carpet!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wallpaper behind their headboard and overall wall color:

       

 

used these panels that i  found on ETSY as the inspiration for the new panels! they aren’t large enough for the window so adding a beautiful champagne silk to round it out — glass beading to add to bring in some smoky blues from the new lamp

 

    

gorgeous sheer w/simple texture for the second panel

 

one of my favorite lamps of all-time — just had to give her these!

 

recovered her headboard w/a gorgeous gold metallic tapestry-inspired fabric. good bye sunshine yellow gold! bleh!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

shag carpet!

 

new built in will have all closed storage — multiple shelves for shoes, hats; tv component; bar area for glasses and bottles! beautiful custom taupe color.

 

  

 

can’t do her bedroom and not touch her bathroom. new wallpaper, lighting and quartzite countertop (had leftover stone from our kitchen island project)
