Sunset Bedroom

Homeowners Teri and David Baldini, parents of two small children, haven't had a room to themselves in more than five years. They feel the current state of their bedroom looks like a cross between a nursery and a thrift store. They want an adult room they can call their own and have found a design they really like. It is clean, bright and warm, and the dark-colored furnishings are rich but not too fancy. The only problem is the price is very fancy, at over $53,000.

Designer Doyle McCullar chose these colors to create a lively and elegant feel in the room. The contemporary patterns and clean-line furnishings give the space a fresh and youthful sense. The key to this design is the balance of contemporary elements with rich woods and traditional accents.

The Double Take team — makeover designer Michele Addey, budget shopper Halili Knox and carpenter Jamie Schmitt — join creative forces to duplicate this colorful and sophisticated setting for less than $2,600.
