I just discovered a new blog Velvet and Linen and absolutely love her style. Brooke Giannetti is a interior designer who works with her architect husband Steve.

She just posted on her blog that they are being considered for a Reader's Choice Award. One of their client's bedroom made it to the top 12 of the All the Best Bedroom Contest.

Love the chandelier in the above picture! Makes the room have a warmth about it. When using cool colors, warm lighting can soften the room and that is what the chandelier and lamps do for this room. The ambiance is created with correct lighting. Even with the chandelier off, the mood lighting would be fantastic. You know that "mood" is important in the master bedroom.

Notice how the lamp bases, pillow and ottoman all coordinate. Using 3 objects in a room that work together makes for a good design.

Here the bedding is very crisp and has such an inviting feel. The textures and the shapes on the fabrics make this whimsical and interesting. Texture is the most sensory element in a bedroom. Brooke has made every surface pleasing to the touch and the eye; she has chosen luxurious fabrics, furniture, and finishes. This room is peaceful and still.

Every master bedroom needs a reading spot so you can put your feet up!

Imagine the conversations that will go on here? Creating a spot for a couple to spend time together is awesome and if used will make their life rich!

Love the simplicity and beautiful window details above the door. This room welcomes the daylight!

No clutter here!

There is a poll set up here to determine a Reader's Choice Award. If you like to vote for their bedroom design, Steve and Brooke would really appreciate it. I've casted my vote and there room truly is the BEST.

Thanks for supporting one of my favorite blogger's.
