Romantic Master Bedroom Makeover

Lighting - $318

• The dated ceiling fan is replaced with a fan sporting an updated look with leather detail and elegant shades.

• Baltzer creates curtains that frame out the expansive windows. She stitches together a valance to span the top and two panels for either side of the windows. Since this treatment is purely decorative, she staples both the valance and panels to thin wood strips, which are secured to the wall with wood screws.

• Snijders builds a planter box to sit on the window ledge behind the dresser. It's filled with high-quality silk greenery to add a nice focal point in front of the window.

• Burbridge gives the walls a two-color paint finish with a honey beige color base coat and an olive green and wallpaper paste mixture as the top coat. To create the mottled look, he rolls on the top coat and applies a plastic sheet. He presses the sheet onto the wall to create creases and rolls over it with a clean paint roller to press it in even further. The plastic sheet is then removed to reveal some of the honey beige base coat. Tip: When doing this technique, it's important to work in small sections so that the top coat doesn't have a chance to dry out before applying the plastic sheet.
