Whether it’s friends coming into town or family staying with us over the holidays, this room gets used fairly frequently and I wanted to make it the most beautiful, serene and inspiring space as possible. A true retreat-like experience!

Before, this room was a complete blank slate. A bed and nightstand that Charlie and I had purchased when we first got married were the only pieces that filled the space so it was in major need of a refresh. The room also isn’t the largest, but we really used that to our advantage.

For smaller spaces, I always encourage focusing on the tiny details. Take the time to figure out how you can utilize every square inch intelligently, incorporate unique architectural elements, and invest in show-stopping furnishings. For this space, we immediately thought of Gabby. A brand we use (and love!) for our clients projects repeatedly. From the custom bed, the chest that sits next to it, and the accent chair for our guests to toss their belongings on, we curated a strong group of pieces that work so effortlessly together.

This space turned out more beautiful than I ever could have imagined that I sometimes sneak away from our master bedroom (which I still have yet to design!) to sleep in here. I love it that much.
