Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.  ~John Ed Pearce<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/span>B<\/span><\/span>edrooms….who doesn’t love to walk into a dreamy, heavenly, Calgon take me away bedroom? At the end of the day, isn’t that what its all about, coming home to a beautiful home, whatever beautiful may mean to you? Besides coming home to a beautiful space being very important to me, coming home to my bedroom is of paramount importance because I want my room to take me away the minute I walk into it, it is my sanctuary.  I felt that way with my old bedroom, it was just bliss….it was done in a very soft palette with luxurious fabrics abound, a soft wool trellis carpeting, magnificent Julia Gray furniture and the absolute softest most delicious bedding by Home Treasures. Walking into my room felt like I was walking on a cloud. I closed the door and voila instantly I was transformed to a calm and peaceful place, no matter what chaos raged outside my door (and often it was my sons fighting or my husband wondering where dinner was…lol)<\/span>

<\/span><\/span>
So in my quest to again achieve another “special and serene” space I am in  hot pursuit and collecting pictures, magazine’s and books for inspiration. Several of Michael Howard’s bedrooms (Interior designer out of Atlanta) and who is highly talented, are just dreamy. I also like Rinfret Designs from CT. I tend to go for the soft colors and a understated perfect scale; I find  that to be soothing and calming. I have enclosed some  bedrooms  that I have drawn inspiration from. Do you have a favorite?<\/span>

By Rinfret Designs, this taupe and blue bedroom is very handsome and striking but serene and inviting, I like the mirrored nightstands and bed canopy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
As seen in Veranda magazine, if you like reds (which I do) and monograms, this is awfully pretty<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This doesn’t have the warm cozy feel as some of the others with more color but the black and white is striking and very handsome and clean<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Love the colors, very soothing…great little loveseat at the end of the bed, liking the kidney shape (James Michael Howard)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is GORGEOUS…yes its very “fancy” but the colors, the draping, the stunning Kerman rug, the beautiful french mantle are all quite spectacular<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is a lovely combination of soft colors with a nice patterned canopy against an interesting headboard….I like the colors <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I looove monograms and love the canopy over the bed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Another classic Mario Buatta room, done in his signature Chintz, but it works, though I realize it would be quite “frilly” for most men<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A beautiful soft colored neutral tailored bedroom, simple but elegant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Beautiful colors, the softest pale blue\/green against crisp ivory (James Michael Howard)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I like this room, in the neutrals, its not very traditional nor very modern, just very classic and soothing to the eye (James Michael Howard)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is a very inviting room, a lot of furniture and very full but very comfortable and elegant looking (James Michael Howard)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Great carpeting with a subtle design allows this room to keep it simple and light<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

(James Michael Howard)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I like this for an older boys room, rich blues with an oriental rug<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is a very elegant room, I love the inviting and warm colors against the rich woods<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is very sweet and simple
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is pretty in a “transitional” way, it has a soothing palette and is very handsome without being masculine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Done in the rich gold and ivory tones, this is so inviting..the plump bed is a beautiful and soft look in the bedroom, the only thing I do not like here is the bench, it is not at all in keeping with the elegance of the rest of the room and is a little cheap looking (and I am not a fan of roman columns for that matter either)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I like the way this oceanfront bedroom chose to downplay the colors and focus on the spectacular ocean, but it remains very inviting at the same time<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
If you were going to have a sitting room that just happen to overlook the ocean, wouldnt’ this make a pretty one in all the muted tones?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pure perfection, the play of colors, pattern, and subtlety is done so well here<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I realize for most men, they would faint walking into a pink painted room done up with all kinds of florals and checks, but you must admit its a happy room!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is more modern than I would ever go, but it is very appealing, very monochromatic but love the textures and design<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
This is a very dramatic room done by Mario Buatta, in all his navy chintz glory, it is full of pomp and circumstance but certainly delivers!<\/p>\n
