A few years back, I had the joy of helping my mentor, Amanda Gibby Peters reimagine her primary bedroom. I jumped at the chance - if you don’t know her yet I suggest you run to get in her world. She lives in a lovely home and, if you follow her, you already know her taste is unmatched. When I came in, her bedroom was a bit of a blank slate (see video at the end of this post)… which felt irresistible. I was so excited to infuse more of her vivacious energy into the space while still keeping it serene for both her and her partner. And, as is often the case, they don’t exactly share a design aesthetic, which always keeps things interesting. We worked to create a balanced space for the two for them.
She was craving a little more oomph, so we landed on a look that felt layered and bold: deep hunter green bedding, fiery lamp shades, and playful pink + yellow accents. It was bold, a little cheeky, and gave the space exactly the spark it needed at the time.
Here are links, most if the originals are sold out now so I’ve provided similar options. Duvet - similar, Pink pillows - similar, floral pillow - similar, green printed pillow - similar, green velvet pillow - similar, lamp shades - similar.
But here’s the thing… even beautiful rooms need new energy over time. Paint fades, seasons shift, our lives ask for something different, and our homes start whispering for change. What felt inspiring in one chapter can feel heavy in the next because guess what? WE change…
So when Amanda recently repainted her bedroom (Ben Moore Cinnamon Slate- shown in photos below), she gave herself permission to let go of what no longer fit and invited in a full refresh. And that’s what design (and life) is about… listening when the energy asks for change.
That amazing console housing her books and art? Yeah, its actually two consoles put together. Genius… (Amanda’s find not mine).
I was thrilled to be called back in for her room’s next chapter…
