Tiny Rooms = Big Impact

Over the years, I have done a lot of very small rooms. Just because a room may be small, it doesn't mean it can't have a big impact.  My purpose is always to make the space functional but at the same time to keep it beautiful.  One "trick" is to use one tone of color, preferably a light one,  very little pattern and bring in a lot of different textures.  

A favorite small room of mine is our guest room at Sunset.  It's a 10x12 room covered in vanilla!

The window in the room has been visually enlarged by having suede and damask curtains covering the entire wall.  This also acts as a headboard/background for the suede covered daybed which is accented by pillows made from old angora sweaters.  Everything is brought together by the fluffy wool shag carpet. 

On the other side of the room is a dressing table that Donna found which started the entire theme of vanilla, one of my favorite flavors and colors!
