Photography by John Bessler Top priority for this young couple, having recently leap-frogged from cozy salt box to rambling tudor estate, was the creation of a nursery for their first child (arrival eminent!). Next up? Imbuing the grand scale with intimate charm, in a family-oriented common space to accommodate baby plus their three dogs! Blending his love for all things rustic, and hers for a “glam-sophisticate” splash or two, the result is a beautiful and practical space fit for the whole tribe.

This compact space was made more user friendly by the addition of a loft bed, with a floating look. This opened up more play and reading space in the area under the suspended bed. The trees were wall decals applied to a neutral gray (Sherwin Williams Repose Gray) that helped draw the eye up and create a tree house like feel in the room. The next steps are changing to painted white trim and putting in wood flooring under the cozy shag area rug.

The children’s study was an unused and uninspiring space. We transformed this space in order to function for the family’s needs and to be a cheerful, exciting place for the children to relax, read and do homework. Paul S. Bartholomew
