Kaufman's Montclair NJ House




This was sort of a "Designed to Sell" for a co-worker of mine - she and her husband are into mid-century as well, so I used a lot of what they already had, just pulled everything together to help sell the house. And I did it all in just 2 days!

Bedroom Phase 2










Even though I've kept the same wall color, the black and white tones down the intensity of the green, and the brown drapes help ground all the busy patterns on the bed and rug. This phase of the room comes across (at least to myself and Jenn too) as much more calming, relaxed, and a bit more upscale than the last phase. Almost like a swanky hotel room even!

Bedroom Phase 1





Everytime I shop at IKEA with Ron I find something I have to use immediately, this time it was the duvet cover (although it was a bit too small, but I made it work)...I pulled some of the red accents from the rest of the house, and it really helped the room "pop". But the red didn't last too long - I think the red curtains didn't help my poor sleeping habits, so I changed it, AGAIN. See Bedroom Phase 2.
