The wallpaper is beautiful but it needs to be on the walls and not the ceiling. Not a fan of the shade of purple used for the drapes. He could have chosen a better rug and the position of the bed is awkward. That said, love the green chair and the use of purple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-41210094312708517322020-05-05T08:40:42.552-04:002020-05-05T08:40:42.552-04:00You are hysterical.

The pieces are fine on their own and she sure enjoys it but you know it's a bit of a mess.<br />For such a beautifully tailored and upholstered bed I think the bedding is far to casual.<br />So many designers have a signature trick-decorated ceilings and doors for instance. Then they don't know when not to do it.<br />And the first time I bumped my head on that wall mounted lamp would be the last time.Mr Sterlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04538687353917780993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-30238644469269050722020-05-04T14:49:51.613-04:002020-05-04T14:49:51.613-04:00You are hysterical.

I also love purple, and have used it a lot in my own spaces ever since I was a child. (I was a big Donny Osmond fan. . .) I normally don't care for wallpaper on ceilings, but in this room, I feel like the purple lines in the corners cleverly create an effect like you're sleeping under a pergola; I love it. I'm glad Redd used silver accents vice brass, as it creates a nice calm feel. I agree the table should be closer to the wall, but I'm guessing the photographer moved it. The chair implies a small pet shares the bed. Nice insinuation! I will say, it's interesting to see Miles Redd do a paired down room. I wonder what the window treatments are like?Wakaruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287269901544034495noreply@blogger.com
