The Last Few days of the DC Designer House

                                  Washington DC Designer House


It's been tons of fun but the DC Designer House is winding down. This is the last week and the final day is Sunday May 12th. If you haven't made it out there yet, you still have a few days. 


Here are a few photos of our room - the Master Bedroom. Thanks to all my subs and suppliers. The room has received wonderful feedback and tons of press - TV, HGTV, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Traditional Home Magazine and Home and Design Magazine plus tons of blog fans. 


Room goals: bring more light, play with layering patterns and textures, mix vintage, custom and new pieces, BE Creative! I did everything I planned to do. I wouldn't change a thing. Now if only this room could fit in my house! Luckily half of the items have already sold. 

Notice: 
             - the Bridget Beari High Gloss paint from Fine Paints of Europe Velvet Paw No. 66. 
             - 1960' vintage ceiling light "Grand Nest" 
             - custom bed from Mike Reid Weeks

Thanks to the Holtz team for the custom wallpapered nightstands.

Fun pillows on the leather chairs - notice the Mary MacDonald appliqué from Schumacher

The bookcases were the biggest hit. Similar to the Richmond show house but this time curved. Also introducing our Bridget Beari Metallic line - Sphinx's Gold! 

Mother of Pearl ceiling in the alcove really helps to transfer light into this once dark room. 

                           I love mixing patterns  - see the 2 different rugs next to each other .

- the garden console on the side with the interesting piece of cork I found in an antique store in Charlottesville
