Bedroom - scandinavian bedroom idea in New York

While renovating the master bedroom last year, the Mohrmans replaced the fireplace surround with white ceramic tile. Placed in a herringbone pattern, the tile and dark grout work together to lend a period feel to the room. As with many renovations, there were some surprises along the way. "From what we could tell the mantle had never been removed", Chelsea explains. "We removed the mantle and found bits and pieces of photos, ticket stubs, coins, etc that had fallen back there over the years. Some of the items were dated back to the 1930’s." Being the eighth owners of the home, it was hard to tell whether there was something there from every previous owner, "... but we gathered it all, placed it in a tin, added our own piece, and placed it back inside the mantle as a time capsule for future owners to find in decades to come."

A vibrant color scheme in the guest bedroom gives off a welcoming impression to visitors. Bright, yet unimposing, it sets the stage for good times and happy thoughts. The metal and wood bed frame and side tables were made by Kiel. With clean lines and Scandinavian-like materials, the furniture adds to the airy quality set forth with the layering of textiles.

The installation of this artificial turf in San Tan Valley, AZ, demonstrates how even a small amount of artificial turf can transform a yard and give it a whole new feel. It is the perfect size for pets or small children to play on while the parents watch on comfortably seated at the outdoor table and chairs. The size of the artificial turf balances with the brown pavers, gravel, and walls so that no one aspect of the yard dominates. The planter box adds some green variety and also offers another area to sit.
