Bay Street - The bedrom revealed....

That was a very busy Holiday House Tour!!  Thanks so much to everyone who came out to support the Junior League this year!  It certainly was a whirlwind of activity, but totally worth it. 
I have to give a HUGE thank you to Sue's Bed and Bath in Ancaster and Urban Barn (Burloak location) for lending many of the items I used in this room. 

I know you have all been waiting for the photos of the completed room, so lets get to it!  As you walked in the room, the focal point was the Christmas Tree on the left hand side:



Next you could peek into the man's walk in closet, with its unique balcony feature.

 
 
 
The Santa boots in front of the door were a hit, (found at Homesense) and many people liked the idea of the sinnamay (or decor mesh), ball garland and lights strung together on top of the built in. This is a great way to light up an otherwise dark corner or the top of cabinets.  Here is another take on the same idea, used on the shoe cabinet in the walk in.  You will notice many of the vignettes have included penguins....
 


Continuing around the master bedroom:  next you see the fireplace with seating area, and mirrored table to break up the other dark furniture pieces. 



Close up of the garland:




A word about the garland on the fireplace.  Don't avoid putting a garland up there because you are afraid of nail holes.  Here I used 3 of the 3M Command Hooks on the front face of the mantle to  hold it in place.  After the holiday season they can be removed with no damage to the surface underneath.  Mounting it this way also keeps the top surface free for other decorative items.  I assembled the garland using 2 green and one white snowball garland plus a string of 50 lights.   Adding lighting makes a huge difference and makes everything sparkle that much more. 

 
 
Sue's Bed and Bath provided the stunning duvet cover for the king size bed, as well many of the pillows. 
 
My next blog will show the bathroom in detail.  It is a beautiful room - simple but gorgeous, and has every feature you could think of - and then some! 
 
I have not listed the sources for all the items, as that list would be quite long.  If you have any questions as to where things were obtained, or how things were put together, please feel free to email me - I will be happy to answer.  (changesinteriordesign@gmail.com)
 
I hope you enjoyed the tour as much as I did.  It was great to work with the homeowners, junior league ladies and all the other volunteers who make this event possible.  I love seeing all the different  ideas the designers come up with for the spaces they are assigned.  I think this year was the best yet!
 
Happy Decorating!
