This room went through a total transformation. The client asked that we repurpose existing furniture and create a warmer and more polished look in this large guest bedroom. We moved the bed from the original master bedroom to this space after adding rough sawn beams to the ceiling, a coordinated valance, a bench for luggage and seating under the window. We purchased the hides from a local business owned by “Erin Chaskey”. It is called Wheelhouse Market 989 306-2633. The storefront is at 20361 State Street, Onaway, Michigan. You can see some of her finds at www.wheelhousemarket@hotmail.com. Her company specializes in repurposed and antique one of a kind pieces that she searches for in the most unusual places. Erin frequents demolition sites, garage sales, estate sales and old homes looking for unique and well suited pieces. She has a great eye and I highly recommend contacting her if you are in the market for structural pieces as well as furnishings from the past that emit character and charm. She actually went to the heart of Texas for these hides. The bedding is by Ann Gish. The dust ruffle is from Grandin Road. The log chair is the clients and was repurposed from the previous living room. All of the map art belongs to the client and we clustered it above the bed for uniformity and interest. The painted book shelf is an antique piece that remains in the room. The lamps are all from the client and are conversation pieces. The teepee lamp next to the bed has a flickering bulb inside to emulate a bonfire. It’s very special as this land was once occupied by American Indians as the postcards also reflect. At first glance we thought it might be too juvenile for the space, but as the room came together we felt it had a place. ©2018 All Rights Reserved, Photography by Mike Gullon
