Before: Tackling reconstruction is one thing, but the Dyes have hit a wall when it comes to designing their recently-renovated Victorian bedroom and need help taking it to the next level.

After: Modern materials blend beautifully into this home built in 1887. An ornate fireplace facade accented with marble tile brings a lighter tone to the dark molding found throughout.

Before: Sheets as curtains aren't exactly making the statement the couple would like and all the time they took refinishing the trim isn't being highlighted.

After: Long panels that stack beyond the trim offer the softness the windows need during the day and privacy at night.

Before: This bed nook is a unique feature the couple is having a hard time combining with the rest of their space and the TV stand isn't exactly the most pleasing arrangement either.

After: Warm tan walls with a stencil design around the nook area along with new sconces reminiscent of gas lanterns make this section of the room comfortable and inviting.

Watch The Video: After four years of gutting their Victorian home, see how a student designer put the soul into the Dyes' master bedroom.
Meg and Greg Dye have spent the last couple of years refurbishing the inside their 1887 Victorian home and haven't had time to decorate their newly remodeled master bedroom. They've run out of gas and now look to design student K. Williams to help them add life to this unfinished space. Williams plans to paint the walls a warm tan, enhance the detailed woodwork, add a new faux stone and marble fireplace facade plus new lighting and furniture. The Dyes won't recognize their own room when she's done!
