2013 HGTV Smart Home : Master Bedroom Pictures

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>About the Master Bedroom: </b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Inspiration for the bedroom design came from two raffia inlay accent chests that flank the bed. A tone on tone color palette spells serenity while the layering of damask and trellis patterns evokes Hollywood regency style. "I tried to keep it light, airy, clean and very serene because it's a master bedroom," says interior designer Linda Woodrum. "And the sandy colors in the palette are very peaceful and relaxed." </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwrsdpUbNjWUY32zY6F2x7nbn5sQV111WA_BrIhyviLiSRUSk3WjKjYaFei02IoEx4i2fUcDczhN3-c-Jwv33dOLOiYlE-zbHMmkR_x_384Xma-i9s_GhzOuYSIYlQb0hRYDb0RQs2uaCa/s640/2013-HGTV-Smart-Home+-Master-Bedroom-Pictures.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With its own private deck and easy access, via telescoping glass doors, to outdoor spaces, the master bedroom offers a luxurious retreat. Hickory floors and an ashwood bed, finished in a dark hue, ground the space and make light colored fabrics pop. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggWxdl5bUfrxbuxP44x5aYKdTgWsNrFxYdkstH7-GfUULJzLno40NGP98H18JNkErEegyPYUNQA4LGOi_OBmSpB0RHeWX7DmBM-HxckEbeP4OJyEPgJVpfPiGbAUJSMnBLY76t2RhbxcP4/s640/2013-HGTV-Smart-Home+-Master-Bedroom-Pictures-2.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Creating a cocoon like feel, the queen sized bed nestles inside a wall niche.

Pheasant or other feathers look striking in a simple cylindrical vase, while sheepskins (real or faux) and a stack of firewood add to the warm, cozy feel.

Pitchers, teacups, coffee mugs, serving platters and trays, and even soup terrines can all make wonderful containers for seasonal flowers, fruit and candles. Have some pretty herbs growing on your kitchen windowsill? Grab those, too.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkFkYwccIhJjr7mVN8dY8wCAdzn4IeLw_NtER0-ENoselwfWoe-7B7PJ1AH1JRVMNzjAiglKa5llC64oBfI9EDrwBZF-1tIPO-3eaq8J6Q45Qxfevq7zgyFcHVAX-ZeunD3B7gpj43-xQ/s640/Cheap-and-Chic-Fall-Centerpieces-2013-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Give small items more presence with plates and platters. </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">You don't need an overblown centerpiece to make a statement. A small potted plant and a few slender candles can take center stage when elevated on a plate or cake stand. Use pretty cups as bud vases for flowers snipped from your garden (or plucked from a market bouquet) to round out the arrangement.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglBpBz7rfY-7FXDvou-tJCGzdSdYTocgXUMf7UBKITuuwxavpo0ih-TsvkTZcz3f04eVhGNZuKFDNTU6ExSfg1FkjhIGuR9AxqDCOYHn2RgTbzMGDGBn0PzqEO_mS45mJipTMKaoPf_aI/s640/Cheap-and-Chic-Fall-Centerpieces-2013-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Use burlap and mason jars. </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Simply cut and fold burlap for a quick, rustic-chic runner or tablecloth. Use mason jars as candleholders, vases or glasses for water or wine. Or create easy embellished vases by wrapping a few of your jars with burlap (secure with hot glue). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDxNnXALtTM5wmkTWKVBrQcmCJIwJkGWSs8n_twU-gmJ1YcbhsTVYQRKzOc1yvC15PYJ9dkQs3ifg4bOqJrI4BX815QP5wnWAbyaHkT0AiV2W7Cg3HphZwmjqEL8vT4yk_LBoIbt3fEG8/s640/Cheap-and-Chic-Fall-Centerpieces-2013-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Set up a functional display with frequently used items. </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Display silverware in a caddy and pretty cloth napkins in a basket, and keep ready-to-eat fruit on a pedestal or cake stand. If the containers you choose don't match, give them a fresh look with a coat of unifying black or white paint. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis4S6Rsd2WeN0uk55a3rpf-y2ZcGBItmFXwR-5KBRsTggM40Ti4Im9YvA-yIxOrTWFBiWlFwZ0eFOO70IFIdii3cVhWPoI4cL2S6sAK0QvK4P3dz1X4vFFnYvLNsqtK6MNxMjQCxvNviA/s640/Cheap-and-Chic-Fall-Centerpieces-2013-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Corral favorite objects on a tray. </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Choose items in a tight color palette for a collection that hangs together.

Place a perfect pear, pomegranate or persimmon on each plate, fill a bowl with figs and grapes, or make a heaping pile of colorful squash. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
