…and speaking of room makeovers: My across-the-alley (interior designer) neighbor, Cindy, just revealed a master bedroom to her clients and I just HAD to share some photos of the room and their TOTALLY FUN reactions with you here today! Cindy shared their reactions with Kevin and I a couple of weeks ago via text message and we could not stop smiling as we watched and re-watched them! First up though, here are some before and after photos of the room. Before…
…and after!
(Bedside chest: Currey and Company)
(Desk also from Currey and Company)
It’s so beautiful with the lights and lamps on, too:
Here are some more photos of some of my favorite little things in the room…
I love the gray & white throw blanket, over-sized basket (complete with back straps) from Southern Homes & Gardens, and concrete wall art from Tuesday Morning…
…and the pretty pillows and half-shade sconces above the headboard (another Tuesday Morning score!):
The pistachio-green armoire came straight from France…
…and the gorgeous chandelier is from Eloquence:
(The iron bed and linen scrim panels were made locally by Gowan Iron and The Rose of Sharon.)
Such a lovely room isn’t it? And such a sweet homeowner for letting me barge up into her house with all my camera stuff this week- LOL!
And speaking of the homeowners- here are the videos of their reations when they first saw the redesigned room. Mrs:
…and Mr:
Aren’t those great?! I love it!
And speaking of reactions- we revealed the kitchen we just redesigned to our friends Tommy & Shelley this past weekend and it was SO FUN! Kevin’s putting the finishes touches on the episode today, and we’re sending it off to The Design Network this afternoon. If you’d like to be notified via email whenever it goes live on October 1st, you can sign up for a (free) membership over at TheDesignNetwork.com! 🙂
In other SUPER exciting news- our adoption dossier flew to Haiti yesterday, and is at Three Angels right NOW! The next step is Legalization (which will hopefully only take a few days), and then our next celebration would be getting submitted into IBESR’s system. Every adoption process is different in Haiti right now, so there’s no telling how long that will take, but we’re hoping it can happen before the current submission window closes again for a while, because after that, the next step is to be matched with a little one- SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 😀
Happy weekend and thanks for reading today!

I almost never comment on other blogs since I usually catch up on my iPad and its such a pain to type on it, but goodness gracious! I literally gasped and that never happens when I see room reveals. Ever. I’m so in love that I may just install a faux canopy over my bed! Beyond amazing!
Maria,
You just made my day. 🙂

Cindy
Absolutely stunning! His reaction is priceless!
STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that doesn’t even look like close to the same room. Unreal! gorgeous.
Beautiful! Any idea where the rug is from? It’s gorgeous and I would love to find something similar to it!
Katherine,
The rug is from Azra Oriental Rugs in Atlanta.
You can reach Azra Bastani at 404-467-0700. Tell them I sent you!

That room is a-mazing! Holy smokes, totally love it. It’s even MORE amazing that the little bean is almost to you – extremely excited for your family as y’all embark on this amazing adoption journey. 🙂
Oh my gosh those videos are great! The room came out beautifully!!!!!
And I’m so excited for you on the progress with your adoption!!! Praying for you that it happens soon!
Beautiful. And I always love when a person is in shot and looks ghostly like in the before! Greatness.
OMG! I’m. In. Love. And amazed. I will definitely draw lots of inspiration from this master bedroom makeover. Thanks for sharing!
I love the blue lamp! Do you know where it’s from?
Oh dear, now you have stumped me but I do believe it was another Tuesday Morning find. Layla actually told me to go that day and I hit jack pot. You never know. Thanks for asking!
The bedroom is beautiful. I can see why they had that reaction. Well done, Layla and Kevin!
Thank you, Carrie! The room was designed by our neighbor, Cindy Barganier. I just took the photos in this post! 😀
Amazing transformation. I’m about to paint a room with a pale blue ceiling and white walls too. It looks beautiful in this bedroom.
Ooh! Where is the rug from!?
Love the room, and the reactions even more… but I am mostly excited about that adoption news!! I am praying for you and Kevin!! 🙂 I have the faith…. 🙂
Wow! This has inspired me. I have a similar rug at my house and have been wondering for 4 yrs what kind of curtains to pair with it. I’m going to run off now and see if there is a similar colour in my rug. The clincher is that these were the original curtains (right?) and the designer managed to pull everything together with the rug and other accessories which probably saved some $$. It looks like the crowns are the original colour too opr very similar? They pop so nicely now against the blue wall and the bluish ceiling… Also makes me revisit the idea of using ceiling paint that is not white…so much easier to use white if you ever decide to repaint the room but it just might be worth it after seeing this.
Thank you for noticing all of those details . You are exactly right about all of your observations.
Cindy
What a gorgeous space!! Love every detail!
Oh my! That is gorgeous. The armoire is killer and I love the draperies. It’s amazing how changing the bedding and furnishings made the drapes look new as well. Great job, Cindy and Layla! Photographs are great, too. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful! Where is the rug from?
Oops! I see the answer above! 🙂
Oh, Layla! The pictures are amazing!!! Thank you so much for so beautifully capturing Cindy’s amazing transformation of our bedroom. It still feels like a dream waking up in this room every morning!!! Aaron and I are so grateful to Cindy for her tireless effort in delivering to us a room that is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! We have truly loved every moment of this process. It was so wonderful to meet you and I look forward to staying in touch! 🙂
Thanks again!!!
Jennifer

This is beautiful. I wasn’t able to load the reactions of the lucky couple,…I can only imagine. Love the look for this room. Your excitement over your new arrival is contagious. Your story and journey has captured my heart. The pic of Kevin yesterday was precious. Prayers that This day comes soon.
That is an amazing before and after! Oh.my.goodness!
Your decorations are gorgeous! Stunning! Remarkable.Love it.
That transformation is unreal! I would never have ever ever thought that was the same room. Ever.
A-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y stunning!

Dear Layla — it’s a drizzly gray Saturday morning and your post just popped the sunshine right into my day!! Thank you for being such a happy place in the world… blessings for a wonderful weekend!

Love that armoire and those drapes are just swooney! SO, so happy that your adoption process is one step closer. God is good : )
Any way to find out where the gorgeous rug is from?? It would look perfect in my bedroom!! Love this room!!
Would like to know sources for rug, bedding, windows…it looks great.
Marian,
Scroll back up a few questions and you will find the telephone number for the rug company. The coverlet is Sferra Ivory in King available through Christine’s Feathered Nest in Montgomery, Al. ( Tell Chris it’s the one I just used) The shams and custom lumbar are available through Parrish in Montgomery, Al. (Tell Emi it’s the ones featured on this blogpost).
Good luck with your project. I would love to see pictures if you use them!
xoxo

Holding my breath for you!!! 🙂 I wouldn’t be able to sleep, I’d be so excited! (But as the mother of a 10 month old, let me tell you, please do get some sleep now, while you have the opportunity. 🙂 ) WOOO!!!
