Jane's House: The Master Bedroom

Jane's House as of April 20, 2011

Editor's Note: This post is the second in a series detailing the design of my sister's new house. If you missed last week's installment for Jane's study, go HERE.

Well, the construction of Jane and P.W.'s house continues at a quick pace -- indeed, the exterior is all but finished, the drywall is up and the flooring is going down. As they've set a closing date for the end of the month, I'm going to redouble my efforts to finish the decorating plans for a few key rooms. This week, we'll be focusing on their master bedroom.

                            

The master bedroom is generously sized at 14' x 16', with a nice bay window overlooking the backyard, which will make for a lovely seating area for reading and relaxing. Like many couples, Jane and P.W. are looking for a balance of masculine and feminine, warm and cool tones and all on a strict budget! Moreover, they already have a nice bedroom set and are hoping to get a new look without investing in new furniture. Fortunately, this means I'll be working with some great basics that can act as the foundation for our new design.

Jane and P.W.'s existing bedroom furniture are from Pottery Barn's Valencia bedroom furniture line, whose classic yet clean lined pieces are stained a dark mahogany, as well as an existing white armchair and ottoman. These pieces are the perfect transitional building blocks and will add weight and balance to the lighter, more eclectic accessories and small furniture items that we'll be layering in to create depth, interest and personality.

Jane has her heart set on this soft modern Ikat print duvet set from DwellStudio. It's palette of grey-blue, greige and sand will be the jumping off point for the room. We'll pull out the cool grey-blue with the sheets a throw pillow for the white chair and the warmer greige for the walls, painting the room in Farrow & Ball's Elephant Breath, a color with interest and depth that goes way above simple beige.

The next layer will come in with accessories. The first task will be to swap out the simple oil-rubbed bronze knobs on the dresser and side tables with some gorgeous mercury glass knobs from Anthropologie. Yes, they're a splurge when buying in bulk, but they'll completely transform the pieces, bringing in the more ornate, traditional elements that Jane is so drawn to. 

Next, because this is a bedroom, I didn't want to get too crazy with color and pattern, opting instead to create interest by varying textures and materials. As the main furniture pieces are dark wood (as the floors will be), I wanted to create some balance with lighter accessories. A pair of alabaster table lamps bring in a classic material, while the modern silhouette echoes the simple lines of the furniture. A bone mirror over the long dresser will add interest and a feminine touch. A bone side table repeats the material over in the seating area, where we'll also add a leggy chair with a feminine print (in a not-so-feminine grey) to balance out the larger, skirted armchair. A small garden stool next to it will bring in a touch of metallic.

So here's the look all put together:--

Jewelry Becomes Affordable With Sterling Silver

For some people, the price tag on a jewelry item is all that they need to determine how good it is. However, those who know what good jewelry is all about are aware that it is not reliant on how expensive it is but the finesse with which it is made. Would anyone want a gaudily designed white gold ring over a well crafted sterling silver ring? Considering the amount spent on white gold, if the end product is not even impressive then choosing a more affordable option like sterling silver might be a wiser thing to do.

With silver being its chief constituent in an alloy mostly made with copper, sterling silver is stronger in nature than ordinary silver. This is what makes it a good metal to be made a part of one’s daily accessorizing. In the recent years, sterling silver has come to garner a lot of popularity among women of every age because its ductility allows it to be molded into very unique designs. Moreover, from a distance it appears to be similar to platinum and white gold.

Any design that you like in any other metal can be made in sterling silver costing much lesser as well. What makes it even more reasonably priced is the use of cubic zirconia instead of precious stones in most cases, although sterling silver jewelry with precious gems is also available. In this way, anyone who is tight on budget and wants to propose his girlfriend can always choose a sterling silver ring for her. Moreover, a sterling silver bracelet or cubic zirconia necklaces set in sterling silver are also very good gift options for your friends and loved ones.

Sterling silver jewelry is also good for weddings as well. Particularly brides, who are concerned about wedding expenses and want affordable jewelry options for themselves and the bridesmaids, can now easily get them. If you are a bride-to-be you can get a sterling silver bracelet for yourself. Additionally, you can get cubic zirconia necklaces or other cubic zirconia jewelry set in sterling silver for your bridesmaids or other friends.

What makes buying sterling silver jewelry such a great experience is not only the elegance of the metal itself but also the variety of designs it is available in. With cubic zirconia fitted in silver sterling ornaments, you can have fine jewelry within your budget, making it easier for you to have separate jewelry for every dress.

Specialty Wire Working Tools

In wire working there are some specialty tools that enable a designer to create something unique and unusual. There are the usual tools such as different pliers and cutting tool, but also special wire working tools to include wire twisters, coiling pliers, nylon jawed pliers (heavy), rosary pliers (heavy), and bail makers. You can find any of these online or through a vendor that carries special wire working tools.

 Wire Twisters (to the left): These unique tools are used to twist short to medium pieces of wire using just one hand. If you are going to be combining more than 2 pieces of wire, or a bunch of wire twists, than an electric hand drill will also perform the same purpose, only much quicker.

Coiling Pliers (to the right): To make jump rings or wire loops, use coiling pliers that have one jaw that is flat and another that is in a 3-tier step making wire loops. This keeps you from marring your wire too much, as conventional convex/concave pliers can easily mar the wire as you turn loops or use as a bail maker.

Nylon Lined Jaw Pliers (to the left): These pliers are used to straighten wire or for bending, forming and shaping your wire. The nylon lined jaws keep the pliers from again, marring your wire. As you work with these pliers, the nylon jaws will need to be replaced over time as they can get cut up by the raw wire. (Tip: If you don’t want to buy a set of these pliers, then using blue painters tape wrapped around the ends of regular pliers will do the same thing. You have to replace the tape after each use.)

Rosary Pliers (to the right): These pliers are for working with every heavy gauge wire such as 14-16gauge. They are heavy pliers that are built not to slip when used in gripping, turning and twisting of the heavy gauge wire.

Bail Makers (to the left): Bail making pliers are usually rounded diameter cylinder pliers and come in different sizes. You can purchase several different sets of bail makers as each one will usually make 3 different size combinations, usually ranging from 1.5mm to 9mm bail or ring sizes depending on the plier size you get.

These are just a few of the specialty tools used in wire working. Doing research on the internet, reading books and magazines or taking a class you can learn about many other specialty tools used in wire working.

Good luck and have fun wire working!
