I know, what you’re thinking! Nope, we’re not talking about babies folks {and no, I don’t have any annoucements to make!}
I’m refering to the recent Master bedroom design I did for a client. My very sweet client contacted me this past fall asking for help with her Master bedroom. Her and her husband are like a lot of us, focusing on decorating the rest of the house while the master bedroom gets neglected. A shame, because as busy parents of several little ones, they totally deserve a wonderful space in which to relax at the end of the day.
So, when February hit we got the ball rolling on the design scheme {I was booked solid and that was the earliest I could squeeze it in}. During our inital meeting it was clear that my client wanted a really fresh and happy space, nice hits of colour and a brighter feel that they currently had. Classic pieces for the furniture that they wouldn’t tire of. The word Pink even got tossed around when chatting about potential colours! The colour of the year was already making its way into our designs!
After I had a good grasp of what my clients were after, I hit the fabrics showrooms hard, and fell head over heals for a pattern from Kravet called “Jellybean”. What could be happier sounding that a fabric named after an old-fashioned candy?
When I saw the pattern I was first drawn to the pink colourway {top} due to my discussions with my client about going the pink route. But then I saw the turqoise one and thought how perfectly it fit my clients. Dilemnas!
So, I set about doing somehting I don’t normally do. Two colour scheme options. Pink and Blue.
Presentation day rolled around and I was excited about {and torn between} both schemes. At breakfast I made my kids guess which one my client would pick. Surprise, suprise, the vote was torn along {stereotypical} gender lines:
I reviewed the design schemes with my client and she was torn too, loved them both! I left everything with her {samples etc}, and later than night the family of 5 had a vote- Blue or Pink?
And the next day the answer came back….we were going blue baby!!!
Here is the scheme they picked {click to enlarge}
The design got implemented and completed a couple months ago, and my clients are so thrilled with how everything turned out. Their bedroom has gone from being a neglected space to one that they enjoy relaxing in after a busy day of work, kids, and pets!

I hope you enjoyed a little peek at this project. It certainly wasn’t the biggest project {in size or budget} that Kerrisdale Design worked on this Spring, but it was one of my favorites. These clients are such a lovely family and it was a treat to create a space that they adore.
Very Nice Karla! I absolutely love the headboard, and the play of the floral against the stripes!
Yay, a new post on your blog! What a great makeover. I love how you mix flowers with stripes – the result looks gorgeous *and* cozy.
Wow, I love it. Really nice job Karla …
Karla, that is fabulous!! Love it! And those after pics that Tracey took are amazing! They really show off the space!
Beautiful makeover!!! I love that bench, mind sharing the source?
Gorgeous work, Karla! The room is beautiful, and the blue fabric would have been my choice too. Love the headboard.
Beautiful! Love the headboard and the pillows. It looks so fresh and pretty compared to the dark walls and furniture in the before pic. Gorgeous!!!
Most certainly a restful room….Great makeover …wonderful fabrics…!
Karla!!!!!! this is stunning!! I absolutely love it.. WOW! Great job. Team blue here
It turned out so beautiful, you did a wonderful job and it was a pleasure to work with you Karla!
I’m so glad the family picked the blue… it’s perfect!! “Jellybean” was definitely a wonderful jumping off point. I LOVE this room. Another fabulous Karla Amadatsu design!!!

I love Jellybean too and chose the pink colourway for my daughter’s headboard which I blogged about. Great minds think alike
The room is absolutely perfect and your clients must be thrilled!
The room is GORGEOUS, Karla! The fabric is just perfect and love that you chose blue. I’m sure your clients are absolutely thrilled!
Karla, what a fantastic room, I just adore what you have created! All of the fabrics work so well together, and I think they are what grab me the most. You are so talented my friend! And PS. awesome pics by Tracey!! Hugs,

Love it! Can you tell me what paint color you used on the wall? Thanks!
I love, love the room. Fantastic job Karla! The bird prints you used are also great. They resemble the ones I used in our master redo.

The room looks stunning. Especially love the bold stripes on the headboard.
May I ask where the little mirror above the bed is from?
Beautiful! The room feels really bright and fresh and fun without being too over the top with patterns and colors. I love the blue print… but I would have been torn too… the pink was pretty fabulous!
I’d love to know where I can score the striped headboard pattern. I just love it so much

Hello…I know this posting was from a while ago but I just saw this beautiful bedroom in a posting by The Inspired Room. Can you tell me where the bedside tables are from? I have been looking for some forever and I think those would be just perfect. If you have time to email me, I would really appreciate it!
