Vote for the Best Bedroom in the Remodelista Considered Design Awards: Amateur Category - Remodelista
Our judges have selected the finalists, now you choose the winners. In the Best Bedroom/Amateur category, our five finalists are Michelle Pattee, Tori Willis, Finn & Flora, Thayer & Todd, and Anne S. Holtermann. Michelle Pattee | Sebastopol, CA | Sebastopol House. The previous owner liked to drink and shoot. The painter used the wrong primer–the only time I’ve ever hired a painter–and the wood knots showed through eventually, which turned out to be a good mistake. Tori Willis | Los Angeles, CA | Rustic Nomad. Chosen by: Remodelista editor in chief Julie Carlson, who says: “A simple, restful bedroom with all the necessary elements: a reading light by Brendon Ravenhill, a low-slung bed, a window for breeze; we’re on board.” Finn & Flora | Brooklyn, NY | Adventures in Legoland. The bed’s wood side rails make it look like a ship sailing into the night. “This tepee was made from an old queen-size duvet cover, cut open and gathered at the top with twine. Thayer + Todd | Centerpoint, NY | Sleeping Loft. Design Statement: “We wanted a cozy getaway for our weekend guests, so we converted our attic into a sleeping loft. It’s accessed by a sliding Putnam ladder, which makes for a fun escape.” “A vintage surfing photograph and beachy, organic cotton linens for the bed.” “Reclaimed wood from original attic floorboards makes for a great headboard.” “The rough-hewn beams came from a New York City building.” Anne S. Holtermann | South Dartmouth, MA | St. Paul de Vence. Design Statement: “This is a little maisonette that I refurbished from top to bottom using local materials, found materials, old materials, and my own wits. I love a good mixture of color and calm... ...clean but interesting, and a design that can easily be changed with the smallest amount of effort–just a move of the vase or add a new bright pillow and change a room! I wanted the space to be quiet and romantic for a couple or perfectly peaceful for one. True calm.” Start voting–and vote daily–now through August 8, on both Remodelista and Gardenista.
