Why This Works

December 2, 2015 by Amber Filed Under: design, personal design style, why works series 2 Comments

Welcome back to another week of Why This Works… a series where I show a designed space and discuss why it’s amazing. Today’s room is a showstopper, in my opinion. It was designed by Bailey McCarthy, from the popular blog, Peppermint Bliss. She designed this master bedroom and every room in this year’s Coastal Living Cinnamon Shore Showhouse in Port Arkansas, Texas. This space exudes warmth and charm. Take a look!

Where to begin? I love all of the color in this room, but the muted tones allow the space to remain calm and serene. Our bed is very similar to this four poster option, but with a much more overdone wood stain finish. This beautiful paint color is giving me an idea!! I love this shade of blue and I think it brings a modern touch to an otherwise traditional bed frame. I also love that the nightstands have a different finish from the bed. It brings a collected over time style that is so beautiful. The nightstands and lamps bring that symmetrical look that I love, but the warm wood finish against the blue bed adds an unexpected, whimsical touch.  I love all of the pattern going on in this room and the muted colors allows for it all to remain calm and perfect for a bedroom atmosphere. The south western style rug from Dash and Albert {great rug source!!} is a great piece for this Texas master bedroom. The patterned drapes, rug and chairs each bring their own thoughtful, unique style and also creates a casual, warm vibe. You know that I love to mix metals! I loved seeing the brass chandelier and bedside lamps paired with a pewter curtain rod. I also love to add a subtle animal touch in any room and I love that Bailey did that with the longhorn art print {seen best in image 2} on the left bedside table. And it wouldn’t be Bailey’s signature style without some amazing bedding that is subtle, gorgeous and whimsical. The camo bolster pillow is so unexpected and fun. Her own line of bedding can be found at her site, Biscuit.

What are your thoughts???

    Amber,
    Thank you so much for this post! I just love this room too and I would NEVER be able to say why! Breaking it down like you have done makes me look at this space entirely different and love it all the more! I guess gone are the days when everything has to match (thank goodness) – love the drapery fabric with the fabric on the chairs – and who would have thought that rug would looks so amazing. What a comfortable room! So many styles going on at the same time – it looks so modern though.
    Lv, Kathleen

I had fun stopping by my Sarasota project last wee I had fun stopping by my Sarasota project last week! It’s always great to see a space begin to come together and when my clients say it feels more like home, that is the ultimate feedback!! #ProjectClassicLiving #amberbdesign #coastalliving #loveyourhabitat

I kept putting off getting our chair slip cover dr I kept putting off getting our chair slip cover dry cleaned. A white slip cover shows everything and from daily use, it needed a refresh. I am so glad I finally did… it looks brand new. 😍 #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #loveyourhabitat #SMmakelifebeautiful #bhghome #hgtv #howyouhome
I need your vote! This beautiful bench recently ar I need your vote! This beautiful bench recently arrived. And while it was worth the wait, I’m wondering if this natural rattan colorway is right for the space. It might compete with the table top stain a bit too much. I am waiting on a different rattan swatch that has more of a driftwood gray color to it. We’ll see if that is a better match. What do you think of this one so far?! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #loveyourhabitat #SMmakelifebeautiful
