This current master bedroom space is the exact opposite of CALM. Your eye has no idea what to look at and thus your brain is MAXIMALLY CONFUSED! It’s ok, we can fix that, right? We got this! We totally know what to do! Right??! Again, if you aren’t hanging on my every word I really can’t help you. So LISTEN...

So I’m helping my BFF redo her master bedroom and because we are besties it is a bit challenging. We like to talk, laugh, drink, shop, eat, etc… let’s just say we can get sidetracked. For example… here is her current chaotic bedroom. That tiny alcove is a dormer window that has a gorgeous water view. We’ve decided...
