The Sakura curtains in White Tea are simply beautiful. I believe that curtains really set the tone in a bedroom and convinced my sister to invest in these custom curtains with blackout lining from Tonic Living. This room gets bright sunlight so blackout lining was a must. As always, the quality of work that Tonic Living does is exceptional and their price is very competitive.

My original concept for this space called for using the Sakura curtains in the pinkier Blossom hue, but the dove grey background of the White Tea was more subdued and versatile. The painterly style of the curtains is very current and the smaller scale of the florals doesn't overwhelm the space.


The headboard, a custom design by Switch Studio, is something my sister will have for decades to come. I seriously covet this headboard. The tufting, the textured grey linen, and antique brass nailheads are perfection. I wanted a design that was classic and somewhat masculine, something a future husband could appreciate too. On a side note, any eligible men out there? My sister is single ;) Ha!

The room is modestly decorated but that's intentional. We had a small budget to work with as she had the rest of the apartment still to decorate. I also wanted to give my sister a good foundation but leave room for her to figure out her own style. A family photo and a few accessories sit atop a refurbished vintage dresser. The floral art was found in the Target clearance bin and lends some height to this corner of the room.
