- Mike
- Location:
- Philadelphia, PA
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- Two extra large picture windows have great city skyline views but we can close the blackout curtains and create a quiet, private retreat. 13' ceilings with exposed structural supports create volume in a long narrow room. Copper, gray, green, brown and stone color palette with metallic accents makes for subdued, masculine urban feeling.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?
- Make the bed, pick up your clothes and vacuum everyday, you slob!
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?
- Watching the light fade in the evening sky from the big northern window is the best way to relax after a long day at work or during a long weekend in bed.

I really like the artwork and the curtain behind the bed - a feature in it's own right.
vacuum daily? right.....
This bedroom is sexy!
Ok, I am obsessed with the blown up Philly map(s) on the wall! What a great idea - it could be the perfect little tribute to my hometown now that I've moved away :) Saving that one for later!
This bedroom is so luxurious and rich-looking - but I love how you incorporated wood and metal details to give it more of an edge. It looks beautiful!
Wait, Philly has a skyline? When did that happen?
Love the dresser next to the bed with the lux lamp and curtains.
Love the maps on the wall. Nice twist on a typical decoration.
LOVE the light!
Great room in a great setting! Where is that light fixture from?
Gorgeous; I love it!
Really sexy and Classy.

Masculine, elegant and sexy. I love the artwork also; not fond of the color of the curtains, though. This really is a knockout!
Ooh...now that's a bedroom with sex appeal. I love how your curtains totally change the look of the room when they're closed.
Did that sound stupid? I don't care.
I love the maps and how you positioned them on the walls. Great idea.
Sensual.Sexy.Stylish.
SuperSexy. Thee BEST by far...some of these rooms look like "before" pics! This rm is SO well done. Sensual w/o feeling cluttered. Love masculine edge in a bdrm. Your room ROCKS. Great job.
awesome and sophisticated
Where are the red pumps??
The coloration is sophisticated and classic. I can just imagine a beautiful Roman or Greek bust and classic first edition novels in this setting! Beautiful and thoughtfully assembled. Well done!
Your room is masculine, warm, cosy and interesting. I love it. I love the grey and orange and the crumpled fur throw is a winning accessory. Gorgeous!
