THE PROBLEM DIY couple gutted their rowhouse, but ran out of money, ideas and patience for creating a master retreat.
THE SOLUTION Devised zones for bed and bath without losing the open feeling.
HOW IT HAPPENED • Drywalled in walls, ceiling; covered subfloor with dark vinyl that mimics wood. • Used owner's box of favorite fabrics to determine sage and gold palette. • Separated bed, bath areas with wall of closets for storage, privacy, soundproofing. • Upholstered headboard, layered linens and pillows for warmth and ambience. • Created water closet but retained open feel with rest of the space. BEST TRICK Put woven panels on track system to close off bathroom area for privacy as needed. Distributed by Scripps Howard News Service.
