Master Bedroom Design Concept

I asked Zuniga Interiors to update the design they did for the master bedroom in our Oakton house. I wanted to keep as much furniture and furnishings as possible yet incorporate the beautiful blue colors used throughout the other rooms of River House. Their Interiors To-Go box arrived last week. It's always like Christmas when one of their boxes arrive!

It's perfect as the design did everything I asked. It incorporates all of our existing furniture -- bed, nightstands, dresser, bench, ottoman and chair. All I need to due is purchase another chair, an area rug, a mirror, decorative pillows, some decorative items and the window treatments, as well as having the existing chair and bench reupholstered.

The fabric on the left is for the two chairs, one of which will need to be reupholstered; the ikat print at the top is for draperies and decorative pillows; the woven sisal is for Roman shades and the blue velvet is a coverlet for the bed. The cute little blue and white print was another option for draperies. I love the print but feel it's important to have a fabric that incorporates the olive from our existing items and the new blue color.

We'll be keeping our ottoman in the same gorgeous Lauren Liess fabric as well as some decorative pillows.

Den Built-ins

Image
At the front of the house off the foyer is a room that on the original plans was a formal dining room which was open to the great room. A formal dining area doesn't suit our style of entertaining so we walled the room off, separating it from the great room. We plan to use it as a small den for watching television in the evenings. Along one wall will be built-in cabinets because you can never have enough bookcases and storage space. It will also house Pete's big TV. The cabinet supplier and I went back and forth on the design more than a few times, but this is the end result. Den built-in elevation drawing. The drawers will hold our DVD library; personal collection I'm glad I'm not required to make a living as a draftsman!

Selecting the House Plan

Image
"Where we love is home -- home that our feet may leave but not our hearts." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Dad was a mechanical engineer by degree who worked at an architecture and engineering firm and then with a manufacturers' representative company, designing commercial heating, air conditioning and ventilation (HVAC) systems and selling the equipment. He and Mom were inveterate remodelers of every house in which they lived. (I got those genes.) They designed their last two houses, which they built; and Dad did most of the construction of their house on Dawson's Creek. Some of my fondest memories of Mom are sitting with her at the kitchen table and looking at house plan books. Building a custom home is a project I anticipate eagerly. After I retired in 2015, Pete and I decided it was time to move to New Bern. He was commuting by plane every week to Albany, New York, and figured it didn't matter where home was. So I started looking at house plans in ear

Selecting an Interior Designer

"All rooms ought to look as if they were lived in, and to have a say, a friendly welcome for the incomer." -- William Morris The Internet disrupted the interior design industry as it did many other industries. No longer should designers be able to charge exorbitant prices for furniture, art and other decorative items that can be purchased online. Now, buying services provide access to private label goods and to-the-trade-only items. Designers who offer e-decorating services have learned to adapt. After trying a few other interior designers with different business models, I've learned I like using e-decorating services. It lets me be more involved and finish a room at my own pace. So I stuck with what works when choosing an interior designer for our river house. We used  Zuniga Interiors '  Interiors To-Go, an electronic decorating service for the master bedroom and sunroom of our house in Oakton, Virginia. Oakton house master bedroom; personal collection
