The six-year-old’s room has a mix of investment pieces and casual finds—from the West Elm striped bedding and headboard to the CR Laine swivel rocker. For the floor, Rachel chose an indoor/outdoor rug with a vibrant print and added whimsical accessories.

Rachel tailored the master bedroom design to suit the homeowners’ craving for comfort, adding soft blues and creams that create a welcome respite. The deep blue-gray velvet headboard and antique Oushak rug anchor the softness of the painted case goods. A sitting area at the foot of the bed provides an ideal spot for the couple to enjoy coffee together in the morning.

Silver finishes reinforce the tone-on-tone qualities of the custom bedding and antique rug in the master bedroom and bathroom. A framed set of philodendron leaves by local artist Mike Klung fills the vast space above the tub, adding just enough drama to the tranquil room.
