BLUEPRINT FOR A MASTER BEDROOM


Your master bedroom should be a place of sanctuary, an escape from the hustle & bustle of everyday life.  Also a place to live with & enjoy some of your most favorite collections.

In designing any room I am always inspired by the natural surroundings and of course the architecture you have to work with.  For this master bedroom the floor to ceiling windows frame spectacular views of the this wooded Northwest landscape, I choose not to compete with the views but enhance with neutral backgrounds and simple furnishings.



The floating maple shelf extends into the bay window behind the bed creating one simple horizontal line, the artwork on the shelf is one of my own created with a sheet of lead in front of it is an antique wood mill wheel.  The Japanese screen doubles as sun screen and headboard.



The room flows from the bed area into this bath space with views extending through the entire length of the room.  The cabinets in this area were designed to float in the space creating a seamless blend with the architecture rather than reading as built in furniture.



The entrance to the bedroom is framed by this floor to ceiling window looking out to the foothills, on the wall is a trio of simple floating shelves displaying a collection of turned wooden bowls.



The walls throughout the bedroom and bath are covered in a natural madagascar wall covering, here the   wall covering extends into a trio of niches perfectly displaying collections.  The Chinese elmwood chair and natural cyprus wood stump repeat the theme of ancient and modern combined with natural elements.
