Client had one request:  I love my quilted bedspread.  How can we achieve this 'look' in spare guest bedroom ?

Answer:  Clean and crisp custom quilted cornices with fabric saved over the years.

Then let's rip up old carpeting, pickle the gorgeous wood floors, remove oversized case goods, introduce vintage dresser  and 'shop' for accent pieces already on premise.

With a can of paint, a brilliant fine artist (oh, yea, voted Best Artist of LI 2012 - Maria DiMonti - DiMonti Decorative Finishes), we fashioned a custom cream and baby blue glazed straited pearl accented diamond faux wall covering.  It is textural and eye-popping.

Client was so inspired that she found vintage family photos and remounted in affordable frames.  My favorite moment was when I rang the doorbell to drop off hardware for dresser, and Client came to the door with a paint brush in her hand.  I asked, "what are you doing?" ... and she responded, "touching up my frames with the baby blue left over paint from dresser - you know the frames needed just a hint of color"

...<sigh>  All is good in guest bedroom.
