One of the hardest things for me to do is stand in an empty room and visualize the changes that the designer can so easily see in her own mind.
Katherine Stern has a great imagination. She also is in love with pattern and color. When she presented me with half a dozen fabrics that seemed to bear no relation to each other, I could but have faith in her vision of the master bedroom she was designing.
I'm hesitant to show these now because the room is unfinished, but here we go anyhow.
When the room is complete we will have installed window treatments as well. But so far our share on this side of the room is the bedskirt, duvet cover, and flanged shams;
on the other side, this round tableskirt, and a topper which I pieced from a too-small remnant that Katherine loved and scraps of the sham fabric to make it big enough.
The most fun part of the project was creating the topper from scraps from the shams. The look and the process are right up my alley. How about those mitered corners? I hated to give this topper to its owner!
Not shown in the picture at top are the feather/down wedge bolsters out of the headboard fabric. Albany Foam custom-made the feather/down inserts from the template we made.
I called them the "purple monsters" because stuffing those inserts into the covers was like wrestling an insanely strong, clunky, irrational being.
