My hubby Ed plus I have rather unusual tastes in furniture, so when my friend and I were trying to decide on how to decorate the master study room, it proved quite challenging.
- Ed enjoys things on the self-explanatory side plus wanted natural wood furniture for our room.
Ed even advocated making a few custom pieces for the study. I am not against custom built furniture, but it just wouldn’t fit in with the look I wanted. I prefer a glamorous study room with elegant, beautiful furniture that looks like something out of an apartment decor magazine, however consisting of scrub light color fabrics to offset the dark wooden furniture. I also prefer a canopy bed plus have always wanted one. After some compromising, in the end, Ed decided to allow me to decorate the study room however I wanted, then so, Ed and I have a glamorous study room with European furniture that is fit for queens, plus I do feel beautiful when I am lying in my plush king-size bed. Of course, Ed got something out of the compromise. Since he does most of the cooking, Ed was able to decorate the study room despite the fact that he wanted. So, Ed decided to add a few custom made pieces to the space. Instead of a traditional island, Ed and I have a large wooden table that he had built. And I must admit it adds a lot of character to the space. Although Ed plus I have unusual tastes in furniture, my friend and I make things work. I can have my glamorous home study room plus Ed can have his study room, that is a mix of rustic as well as current elements.
