"Having friends to stay here was a bit embarrassing for me, since I am a professional decorator, she said. The very dated guest suite in his house of the Victorian era was designed for a teenager living her dream attic Greg Brady in the last few years.

the design started with a green mesh bright patterned carpets. "The carpets really feels like you're outside on the grass," said Rogers. "I wanted to keep that feeling cottage garden, but I also wanted to make sure that the room was quiet, relaxing and calm. She eased the bright hue with white bedding and a very light blue paint on the walls. The mural also blurs the divisions between the ceiling and eaves sloping, which might have looked clumsy and distracted if painted the wrong color.
Rogers preferred to find parts that go into the corners and unusual corners of the room rather than building anything. The inlaid chest bone was just blue. It was also a great fit for the overall style of the designer superimposed on the cottage look. "It gives more room collected, international look like you brought things home travel, she said

"I always like a nod to the age and style of a house," says Rogers. His house was built in 1896, and a bed like this would have been a common sight in a Victorian house.
The designer is a big believer in mixing things. The bed and bedding are Pottery Barn scores, while the measure bolster is covered with luxurious fabric by Manuel Canovas.
Tip An accent pillow can be a lot. "Sometimes just a great reason to cushion is all it takes to make a unique look bed, she said. It is also a way to bring just a little dash of expensive fabric where it will really count.
New window treatments are wireless for child safety, and wood slats add another layer of natural texture. The large orchid fact, too - or at least, it seems that it is natural (it is wrong). When no one stays here, Rogers believes it only happens once a week and needed a little maintenance. The other two plants are succulents that are pretty hard to kill.
A library that Rogers had for years is a perfect fit for another niche. "I like to have a small lending library for guests, she said. "This is a good space for reading -. They have something to read when they are here, and they can take with them when they go
