Our dear friends, Kimberly and Rusty are getting married soon. She asked for my assistance in the decorating of their newly built home. At the moment, we are working on her master bedroom. Rusty and Kimberly are learning to combine their personal styles and compromising is still an adjustment. My hubby Lee was picky at first too but after I went ahead and painted a room pink; he had no choice but to give up. Ha! You have to wait for a pink room picture when our House Beautiful tour is complete. Challenges:
- Stay within budget due to the upcoming wedding, etc.
- Don’t paint the walls. (They are a nice creamy white/tan color)
- Combine Rusty’s very traditional style with Kimberly’s Shabby Chic/French Cottage Style.
- Try to use accessories that can be added to their registry.
See below for the Mood Board Kimberly absolutely loves.

I also suggested she put an old window she has to use somehow in this room. Get a big leather studded chair and ottoman, shop http://www.overstock.com/ for a reasonably priced chandelier and maybe find an old trunk or upholster a bench to put at the end of her bed. Ideas are endless.
