California Dreamers: Boys' Bedroom

Very possibly the best boys' bedroom ever! In a color scheme of navy, teal, walnut, and antique gold, this children's bedroom is both masculine and fun. Newly built walls allow for custom-made American walnut bunk beds that provide each boy with his private cave. Antique brass wall sconces are tucked inside of each boys bunk so that reading in bed is fresh and convenient.

Sarah Barnard designed the custom brushed brass ladder and bed rail to complement the antique metal finishes throughout the boys' bedroom. Each bunk bed has a pair of blue linen draperies lined with black-out lining. The drapes fit neatly into custom grooves in the bunks so that everything stays just where it belongs.

Geometric wallpaper in navy, teal, and oatmeal creates visual appeal in the boys' bedroom. The vintage-inspired brass and black chandelier make the room glow with warm diffuse light. Handmade American walnut floating desks paired with small scale marble lamps provide each boy their own study space. Each boy's desk includes a utility wall with a chalkboard, pin board, metal panel for magnets and whiteboard calendar. The cantilevered desk chairs in antique brass and black leather complete the look.

Traditional Home: Tudor Revival Estate Primary Bedroom

For this Tudor revival estate primary bedroom suite, the owners desired a Victorian-era aesthetic on a grand scale. Sarah Barnard designed a California King sized bed and coordinating nightstands made of American Walnut with bronze hardware. Carved by master craftsmen in Los Angeles, the raised panels, fluted carvings, and intricate floral details define the one-of-a-kind Victorian-inspired bed explicitly created for this home. Antique brass bedside sconces with articulating arms allow for comfortable reading in bed. Three antique ceramic birds sit among fresh cut pink ranunculus on the primary bedroom nightstand.

A few favorite books, a vintage brass cat and a black pottery vase filled with white hydrangeas adorn the custom American Walnut built-in bar providing easy access to snacks and beverages within the primary bedroom suite.

Decadent silk velvet, wool mohair, and cashmere textiles were used to ensure a deliciously tactile primary bedroom suite. The original brass chandelier restored with custom shades covered in grey silk threads. A luxurious magnolia leaf garland drapes across the primary bedroom fireplace mantle, framing a painting by artist Kevin Moore. White tulips set in a clear glass vase brighten the antique side table, a brass swing-arm floor lamp, and a deep rose velvet bergère chair.

Artwork by Kevin Moore pairs effortlessly with the room's traditional furnishings and contemporary feel.
