Not Just Kids Anymore!

Well it is time I let you all in on something that few of you know...we here at Andrika King Design also design full houses. My lack of posts this year is due to my over-booked client load and growing family  - but some of my big projects are starting to wrap up and I can't wait to share the photos.

Here is a room in Manhattan Beach which was completed a few months ago, I'm just getting around to downloading the photos from my wonderful photographer Liz Lonkey from Life Iz Photography.

As in most homes, the master bedroom was one of the last room on the list for this family to complete in their nantucket-style home.  Everything else seems to come first.  Since they were expecting their third child, I wanted to create a calming environment where they could get away and relax from the daily duties of raising a family. 

We kept family antique dressers and side tables but the rest of the items in the room were new additions  from the grasscloth wallcovering to the the custom built-in bookshelves and upholstery.  The family has three boys so we added slight feminine touch to this room with some floral fabrics on the windows, euro shams and bedskirt. 

I love the way this room turned out. The only item missing in this room is a rug.  The family wasn't ready to pull the trigger on it yet but I'd like to put a natural jute design in...possibly something like this diamond sisal?
