Second story sleeping loft located on Tybee Island in Savannah, GA. Behind the white flowing curtains are built in beds each adorned with a nautical reading light and built-in hideaway niches. The space is light and airy with painted gray floors, all white walls, old rustic beams and headers, wood paneling, tongue and groove ceilings, dormers, vintage rattan furniture, mid-century painted pieces, and a cool hangout spot for the kids.

Are the yellow cushions mounted on the wall custom? - I think you are so clever to hang the cushions from a bracket on the wall. Are these typically a sailboat or boat type cushion? They look fabulous!! Great job. :) »
Joel Snayd Hi there! Thanks. The cushions were custom, yes. You could use any nautical cushion with a handle if you like. You can view and purchase the hooks we used to hang them here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ShopRethink?ref=si_shop
International Kitchens This question is pretty old, but I hope this is helpful.. it is the Kite Kilim rug, very popular and still being sold at West Elm. All rugs are actually 15% off right now as well.
Joel Snayd Hi! Thanks for the inquiry. The night stands are vintage; probably from the early 60s. We spray lacquered the drawers and base white and had the drawer pulls power coated (painted) bright yellow. Shop your local antique or flea markets for similar tables and re-imagine them in a new color! Good luck!
Painted floors? - Could you please tell me what type of floor you painted? If concrete, what prep steps did you take and what products did you use? Thanks »
Warm up a kids' room. Add a bolt of a perky color like yellow, along with a large pattern, to a white space and it will be really cheerful for the little ones. Add DIY touches such as trim around lamp shades.
5. Refresh your palette. If it's been a long time since you changed the color scheme in your bedroom, try making a fresh start. This is a private space, so don't worry about color trends (unless you really love them). Instead, think about which colors make you feel calm, rested and relaxed. Cool blues and greens are generally calming, while fresh white and citrus yellow can be nice to wake up to — something to think about if you are not a morning person.
Flea markets and garage sales were scoured for affordable but quality pieces, and simple furniture from big-box stores filled in the blanks. "In a beach house, you can get away with more," says Joel. Twin beds allow for more sleeping space — this upstairs area can sleep four to six. The yellow headboards are actually outdoor floor cushions with handles that can be taken down and used for extra seating when needed.

This bedroom manages to achieve that clanging, down-by-the-dock feeling with a navy throw rug and rope pulls on the canvas curtains. It's all about materials; there's not an anchor or a spyglass in sight.
Clean your room with color. Children's spaces and musty guest rooms can get a refreshing update with a healthy dose of white and an invigorating infusion of yellow. Ground the look with dark blue and crisp geometric prints.Worried about using white around kids? As long as you stay away from white upholstery, you should be fine. Room elements like walls, lamps and window coverings are a safe bet, and anything that can be thrown in the washer with a little bleach will stay nice and fresh looking.
13. Use "extra" rooms wisely. If you have been using a spare bedroom as a dumping ground for odd pieces of furniture and boxes of junk, it's time to clean up your act. Each room should have a clearly defined purpose, so think about what potential buyers might like to see here. An office? A guest room? Another kids' room? Whether you buy inexpensive furnishings, rent them, or borrow some from friends, making a real room out of a junk room will have a big payoff.
