Portfolio: Chinese Room

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.

"I needed Erica's help in redecorating this upstairs guest room. My wife and I had it on our agenda to do, but she died before we could get to it…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."
