Fabulous 4 Less...tufted headboards!

 

Don't you just love all the tufting we've been seeing in home furnishings lately?  From chic sofas to ottomans and headboards...I seriously {heart} this classic look.

I love the Benson Tufted Headboard from Horchow!  But it sells for a whopping $1,429.00 - yikes!  


So get this look for less at Home Decorators!  It's the Tufted Custom Headboard and sells for just $399!


Wow, that's over a thousand dollars in savings!  Check out Home Decorators, yup they rock!

Mood Board...Hotel Inspired Master Bedroom!

  

Thought I'd share a mood board I created for one of my clients in Charlotte today.  On her wish list...a Master Bedroom Retreat where she can get away from the stresses of her daily life and just unwind.

Here's the design...

A few items the client already has (like the brown curtains and bed), and a few are stylish and affordable finds!  

The teal area behind the sunburst mirror is wallpaper which would cover the entire wall behind the bed, although we probably will paint there in a similar teal color.  At around $30 a gallon which can easily cover one wall...paint gives you the biggest decorating bang for your buck.  The overall look?  Hotel inspired, yet simple & chic.
