But, honestly, they should be the first. There is nothing better than a retreat, a place to escape. For this project, I worked with the Bokases, who are longtime clients. The renovation was full of little details that needed to be well orchestrated and timed, but the result? A small piece of heaven.
We took out all of the dark, heavy furniture and created a sleek, bright, clean, and modern feel. The upholstered bed was custom made, as was everything in this space. Floating side tables with hidden interior USB cables and outlets with sleek pendants hang overhead. We added a trim detail to the walls that lines up with the wall-mounted side tables. Continuing the floating look, local woodworker Jacob Wolfe created hidden drawers with a little resting place for an accessory or two along the side walls. He also constructed a daybed under the window, mounted to the wall and with a custom mattress for a little daytime reading. The name of this game was floating. Most everything was off the ground to show off one of my favorite Stark wall-to-wall carpets. The pattern pulls all of our colors together without being overwhelming.
When accessorizing this space, I chose to keep it simple with the focal point being a custom piece of art by Keith Keim over the bed, a unique nesting side table, plenty of like colors, and highly textured pillows on the daybed. This room is one of my favorite master bedrooms and a place I would surely sneak off to for a little “me” time.
