The house owners of this Calgary residence, says designer Reena Sotropa, had renovated their floor ground a number of years in the past, however had postpone redoing the upstairs, fearing there was little to salvage. The master suite lacked architectural allure, and the opposite bed room, a former nursery, doubled as a house workplace regardless of a whimsical paint job (which can have raised a couple of eyebrows throughout on-line conferences!). The 2 areas related with a rest room straight out of a Seventies horror film: cedar paneling, wall-to-wall wall-to-wall carpeting, and chocolate brown fixtures. However Reena and her colleagues have been unfazed — they turned this ’70s present right into a modern, pulled-together suite with an ethereal, fashionable twist.
