This guest bedroom had not been redecorated since the 1960’s and was ready for a facelift. The beautiful Chinese chest had been added more recently and it became the starting point for the redecoration.

Erica Fay found a wonderful red silk fabric with gold designs to use on the window treatments only to learn that it had been discontinued. She did some research on Chinese medallions, made a template, and hand painted the red chintz that was used.

With a good painting crew and upholsterer, new slipcovers, bed and window treatments, a lovely, updated room was ready. Some of the original furniture was professionally painted and new hardware applied, but no new furnishings were necessary.

“…A couple of years went by. I knew I needed help with
the project. Erica provided the artist's eye and experience that I needed.
She carefully talked it through with me and gave me a plan that fit in with
the feel of the rest of the house and yet made the room special -- picking
up on the oriental bureau that was there. I have been so satisfied that
I have asked her help on subsequent occasions.”
