Before: Chris and Bill have been so busy raising their family they haven't focused on their very outdated and very large bedroom. The mauve walls were popular in the '80s and now it's time for a major change.

After: Hello luxury, opulence and romance! Rich red walls highlight the existing gold bedding and dark wood flooring stands up nicely to the bold wall color.

Before: While the idea of a sitting area under these massive windows is nice, the chairs are worn and the white vertical blinds are cold, making the whole look a bit tired.

After: Bronze-colored silk drapes soften the angles of the windows and tie into the couple's stunning wood furniture they've enjoyed for years. The purple chairs lend a regal air to this area and are a perfect way to enjoy the entire space.
Chris and Bill wake up every morning to pink walls they've come to loathe after 16 years. A sentiment reinforced when the son of the now empty-nesters returned from university and called their bedroom "the most horrifying room in the whole house!" He could not believe they could live with the sickly rose-colored walls for so long. Her son's opinion resonated with Chris and now that the kids have grown up and life is a little quieter, she wants to make the necessary changes, but can't imagine any other color in the room.

She would like to move toward a romantic and peaceful palette that reflects the relaxed lifestyle they live now. The couple certainly has no fear of color and is drawn to full-bodied and bold hues, which reflect their personalities. This is where host Jane Lockhart comes in to help them achieve a whole new look.

Jane's design tip: By painting a large room a deep rich color, the space feels more intimate and cozy.
