First up is a room designed by Hayley Martin. "This is fantastic," Hayley exclaimed. "The idea is to work around the blue!  Finally!  I'm so excited!" Hayley decided to divide the room into two distinct areas, the sleeping area, and the relaxing area.  "I think this makes  the room seem larger," says Hayley, "and it makes the sitting area seem even more like a private little retreat."

Hayley selected a denim-blue comforter for the bed, with matching lamps.  She also used a denim recliner and loveseat in the sitting area.  "I chose the more rustic-looking bed to  contrast with the frilly lace curtains and I think the denim is a good choice to bring it all together," says Hayley.  "I selected a colorful rug and used their old end table as a stand in the sitting area, so they can display pictures and store things there. I think it's a comfortable room, and I think it fits their description."

 

The second proposal is a dressier room by designer Vera Voss.  She's chosen to use a midnight blue with white, accented with silver and gold.  "I like to use silver and gold together, especially when  working with white," Vera explained, "because I think it makes a room seem more luxurious."  The dark blue was chosen so that no one piece would take over the room.  Vera wanted each piece to capture the eye only for a moment, so that your eyes would move around the room quickly, taking everything in.

"I used those end tables with the silver and the light wood because I like the way it looks with the white and the midnight blue," says Vera. "I think it tones down the fanciness of the room, so it feels more  comfortable. And I didn't want to divide the room up into sections, so I set it up so that there's a lot of open area, but there are still distinct areas to the room.  I think they're going to like it."

 

The third design is a modern country look from Rebecca Hill. "There are aspects of the room that are country, and there are modern pieces as well, but I think the two work wonderfully well together here." Rebecca selected a double-twin bed and made duvet covers and pillows from a fun ocean blue fabric she discovered on sale. "I based the room around the fabric," she says, "because when I found it, I knew it would be perfect for this room. So then I had  to go out and find everything else to go with it."

Rebecca found the perfect chairs, just the style and color she was looking for, and then added the plaid lamps and the coordinating rug.  "They wanted seating, and I think this is the kind of look  they're interested in.  You can come in here and sit and flip through a magazine or write a letter to a friend, and the room just has a calming effect, so you really feel relaxed."
