Makeover Room, after: $1,800Host Brooke Channon introduces designer Stuart Piontek, who used custom reproduction furniture, including a green leather chest studded with nail heads, and a muted green color scheme to create a one-of-a-kind master retreat. The twisted-post bed features an unusual, intricate cupola. Dressed with monochromatic luxury fabrics and antique needlepoint pillows, it provides a dramatic focal point for the room.
The Inspiration Room
Beautiful Old World furnishings and accessories give this bedroom an elegant and sophisticated feel. However, these gorgeous furnishings cost thousands of dollars.Transforming the Makeover Room
Designer Stuart Piontek guided the makeover of a master bedroom with a tired style and color scheme into a more formal, elegant retreat with the following steps:- Gave the walls a fresh coat of paint.
- Created a focal point for the room with a rich mahogany-colored four-post bed with curved, graceful lines and elaborate carved details.
- Painted a two-drawer chest in a faux leather finish and glued nail heads on in a decorative pattern to use as a side table in the corner of the room.
- Hung artwork with a wide white mat to freshen the corner and finished the look of the painted chest with fresh flowers, a stack of books tied with a ribbon and a small silver piece.
- Added decorative half-round molding and new hardware to a three-drawer mahogany dresser to use as a side table. The chest was accessorized with a lamp and a small impressionist print hung in an ornate frame.
