The client isn't really sure what to do with this space. She has a side nook that she would like to use, and would like to use as a meditation area/yoga area - if she can convince her husband. She thinks her husband is opposed because he doesn't want it to look like a gym, so if it is used for this, it will need to be done in a way that can convince him if it looks calming and nice. The client would like something at the foot of the bed (to store blankets and such), as well as an 'art piece' for the space, and a full length mirror.

She is thinking neutrals for the room, with pops of blues and greens. They aren't big on oranges, but something in the coral family would be okay. Good colors are greens, purples, reds (dark burgundy/maroon), and yellow/corals. She would want a primarily neutral scheme. They don't read paper books too often, primarily just kindle/a phone. They don't want a TV in this space, it will primarily be used just for sleeping.

More storage would be nice, as is they have just the dresser storage. For bath linens, they currently keep everything in the closet down the hall, so it could be nice to incorporate some storage closer to the bathroom - they don't have anywhere inside the bathroom that they can use. They do need some sort of window treatment for the master bathroom - they don't currently use their shower because there is a large window on it with the privacy.

They would be open to moving a light fixture to add a chandelier in their bedroom space. They're open to painting the master bedroom, but aren't big on wallpaper - if it is used, it would need to be just one wall only.

They would like the total for all of the room projects to be under 15k. Art-wise they aren't big on fruit or landscapes, tend to like photography, sculptures, some abstracts, art can be difficult. Somewhere upstairs she is willing to consider adding a family photo collage of some sort, which would make her husband happy (she isn't big on collages herself, but thinks it might be okay upstairs somewhere).

My Guest Bedroom

They will have frequest short term guests that stay less than a week, typically either sets of their parents. When guests stay, it's usually two at a time. They share the bathroom with the two boys, so incorporating a vanity would be nice. Like the other space, she would like this to be primarily neutral, with some warm pops of color (art, throws, etc.) The client likes to use different textures. This room has a queen sized bed.

My Son's Bedroom

Neutral

Wall decals.

Any furniture choices must be durable. The client would like desks for both of the boys - but not much else (maybe some small storage for textbooks as they get older). This is where they will do homework as they get older. Both boys love sports, Giants and Yankees. They also like Legos and do taekwondo. Storage is not a big deal.

My Son's Bedroom 2

Neutral

Mid-day light

Wall decals and bed.
