British Colonial Master Bedroom
Design on a Dime : Episode DOD-703 -- More Projects »
Amber and Jason Cohen want a romantic British Colonial master bedroom to escape to at the end of the day, one that is free from their kids toys and clutter.
The DilemmaHost Kristan Cunningham arrives at the Cohens residence to see their bland master bedroom. Currently, the room and bedding are both stark white and in need of soft color. The Cohens hope to trade out their mismatched furniture in favor of the Old World flair of Jasons grandfather's dresser. The existing nightstands are far too small in appearance and usefulness. They would prefer the door along the far wall not be there at all; covering the door would free up much needed wall space. Also, the wall sconces are dated and dont even match.
The SolutionThe uninspiring space is given a charming new look with British Colonial-inspired style. Here's how the design team does it:
- The white walls are painted a golden camel color to give the room an inviting warm backdrop.

Cunningham brings in two new nightstands that better fit the scale of the bed and room. One is a vintage suitcase atop a classic luggage stand. The other is a wooden, open-slatted box. She stains it a darker color, then lines the inside with brown paper and staples it into place. An uplight is placed behind the box to cast a soft illuminating glow. More tables>>Anderson gives one of the closet doors a new look with faux leather. He cuts a piece of luaun and faux leather to fit the door, then attaches the faux leather to the board with spray adhesive. The entire piece is secured to the board with decorative nail heads. New pieces include wall sconces, a dresser, layers of bedding and Old World-inspired accessories. The Cost
