Luxurious Hotel Bedroom

Since the birth of their son Logan, Jeff and Brigid Baffico can't seem to find a baby-free area in their home. One of the homeowners' favorite colors is green, but the color they ended up with was not the one they intended. For the sophisticated bedroom they envision, the color will need to be toned down and coordinated to match the bedroom furniture. As for lighting, they could use some lamps around the room and curtains to control the natural light. Since the window faces east, it gets too bright in the early morning. The bamboo window shade backed with black fabric just isn't functional or stylish. Designer Frank Fontana uses watercolor paintings done by Jeff's grandfather as the inspiration to design their luxurious hotel-style bedroom.
