This bedroom in Traditional Home turned my head, and not just mine…. a client of mine stopped down with picture in hand – clearly we are both on the same page...
I love the butterfly art – subtle but interesting. It reminds me of a 3-D butterfly panel I just commissioned for another client. I have wanted to do one of these for a while...
I'd like to jump on this bed - not that they would invite me back if I did, but it looks comfortable and the shape has a very unisex glam appeal. In fact this is what my client saved the picture for. Not an easy find - yes, it's custom.

BUT my very favorite part of this room is the nightstands and mirrors above them - to-die-for. The metallic finish and the shape of the mirrors are pure perfection. I met the Design Team behind them this weekend at the Architectural Digest Show - Design Red. I spotted the nightstands on their wall of projects and instantly recognized them. Turns out they were originally oak - brought to life by filling the grain and applying an aged metallic finish. Maybe I could learn to love oak - a trick worth remembering. What an amazing transformation...

Did I also mention the rock crystal lamps and accessories? They are are spot-on too.
And lastly, the paint. Although it looks gray, it's actually taupe - I know firsthand. When I was looking for my own gray I went to SOHO for a look at Elephants Breath by Farrow & Ball. It was a no-go, but if I were going by the name alone, it sure sounded gray to me - not even close...
Apparently elephants may not be gray after all... I looked them up online and was surprised to find them looking pretty taupe. Who knew? Could it be all the dust? If so Kitty and I should be taupe by now too

Beautiful room!
Those nightstands really are a work of art aren't they? Gorgeous room!
Gorgeous room. Love the bed, very glam. I love the mirrors as well. Not sure about the butterflies.
As for grays, I am totally in love with this gray wall paint that Sarah Richardson used in one of her makeovers (see HGTV, Sarah's House and it's in one of the homes she's redone); it's in the foyer. It's a gray paint and she has a white settee in there. The gray paint is just perfection. Sadly, it was by ICI Dulux(?) and I can't remember the name-maybe French White or Natural White? They listed it in the shopping guide but I forget. I think they were purchased by Glidden so I am not sure what color it would be in Glidden's professional line.
I just checked out a book on Victorian furniture this week and I have been drooling over the amazing beds-all of the stunning detail. I checked it out after seeing a "to die for" parlor chair on Craigslist with a heart shaped back. He sold it before my bid came through. Sigh.
My vote total gorgeous, with first prize going to the bed side table, followed by the bed taking a close second, with those rock lamps third and forth but not least those mirrors....mmmm.
I have to say I get so excited when I press on your blog and see there is a new present waiting for me. Thank you.

Thanks for all the comments. I found a closer up photo of the nightstands so I posted it too.
