IN NEW ORLEANS’ SHOTGUN HOMES, it’s common to walk through a master bedroom on the way to the kitchen, but every time I do, I sense I’ve glimpsed something I shouldn’t have. Feeling like an intruder, I try not to look too hard at the bedspread, the half-empty water glass and crumpled tissues on the nightstand. Bedrooms are intensely private spaces, which means their decor can be personal in a way more public parts of the house cannot. This month, CUE spotlights four bedrooms that reflect their occupants’ tastes and lifestyles (p. 16). Food blogger Jessica Bride shares tips for assembling an elegantly simple breakfast in bed (p. 22) and lighting experts weigh in on how to create a beautiful, multifunctional bedroom lighting scheme (p. 25). Last, we offer a selection of luxe loungewear (p. 11). If all this inspires you to curl up in bed with a cup of tea and unwind, so much the better. That’s the purpose of a bedroom.

How four local designers turned their clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dream bedrooms into reality. Unlike a typical cornice, the canopies above the beds extend about a foot from the wall.

A pink drapery similar to those in the bedroom was designed by Jacobs and fabricated by Draperies by Leila for the girls’ bathroom.

ADELE, ELLIE AND CAROLINE ST. HILAIRE THE BEDROOM OF 4-YEAR-OLD TRIPLETS Adele, Ellie and Caroline packs a triple punch. Brooke St. Hilaire and designer Erin Jacobs of Abode planned the space with three goals – to include sleeping and play spaces, incorporate fabrics and furnishings that would grow with the girls, and camouflage oddly placed, mismatched windows (they were originally intended for two rooms that became one). Jacobs searched home design website Houzz for images of canopies and drapery that would disguise the windows and become a playful focal point. She helped parents Brooke and Dr. Hugo St. Hilaire select fabrics and worked with Draperies by Leila to create canopies and the shades. Brooke purchased most of the furniture from The Baby’s Room, which is owned by her mother. The girls love piling into one of the beds together, while Brooke loves that there’s a place for everything. “By creating symmetrical balance and separate areas for sleep and play, the room is easy to keep tidy,” Jacobs says.

Three sinks with mirrors provide room for all.

A MASCULINE RETREAT TINA LAGASSE, RESIDENT DESIGNER AT JADE, transformed a feminine master bedroom into a tailored yet comfortable retreat for a single man. Her client, who uses the condominium as a second home, wanted something that would accommodate guests and incorporate his antiques. Lagasse used a neutral foundation of grays accented with reds, a nod to the client’s alma mater, the University of Alabama. She chose weighty furnishings, such as the burled chests flanking the bed, and employed textures and fabrics: herringbone linen on the headboard, leather on the sofa, a gray menswear stripe on the sofa’s pillows and a charcoal gray cotton for the drapery. Because the building originally was used for commercial purposes, the windows are not uniformly placed and sized. Lagasse layered them with natural woven shades and drapery to disguise the variation. “We took the room from feminine to the total opposite,” Lagasse says.

Fabrics include leather, a gray stripe, heavy charcoal gray cotton and herringbone linen.

A mirror with simple lines is paired with the mirrored chest.

Gray pillows link the bedding to details elsewhere in the room, such as the heading on the draperies.

Instead of a bench, Francis used a pair of chairs at the foot of the bed.

ALISHA AND MICHAEL JOHNSON WHEN INTERIOR DESIGNER PENNY FRANCIS was hired to finish Alisha and Michael Johnson’s master bedroom, its neutral underpinnings (gray walls, drapery and headboard) were already in place. Francis planned to enliven the space but maintain its serenity by marrying contrasting textures and finishes and adding a few subtle color variations. “It’s a great pairing of her feminine side and his masculine side,” Francis says. Elements include a pair of horn chairs upholstered with animal hide, gray linen pillows and linen end tables with nail head trim. Daintier selections include silk bedding by Ann Gish, a beaded chandelier and several pieces with undulating curves. The mirrored chest with a 1940s-inspired silhouette and the beaded chandelier punctuate the room with Hollywood sophistication. PAGE 20

KATY AND CHRIS WEIL A CHEERFUL FLORAL WALLPAPER and love of designer Kit Kemp’s “traditional English look with a contemporary twist” were the starting points for Katy and Chris Weil’s master bedroom. Katy hired designer Heidi Friedler to do the rest. “I found the wallpaper and gave it to Heidi and said ‘I want to build off this,’” Katy says. Friedler added classic silk satin drapery (made a little less formal with bamboo shades), a patterned carpet and a mix of traditional and modern furniture styles upholstered with shades of white. Katy’s mother painted the sconces and found the vintage 1950s rattan stools in Chicago. “In the end, I wanted it simple and clean,” Katy says. “It’s luxurious but pared down, and everything is where it should be so it always looks great.”

Breakfast in bed How to pull off the ultimate romantic gesture. TEXT AND PHOTO BY JESSICA BRIDE AT SOME POINT IN LIFE, you’ll want to serve someone breakfast in bed. Here’s how you imagine it will go: The kids wake early and gently rouse you from slumber with a faint tug on your hand. Your partner continues dozing peacefully, stirring but not quite waking when you leave the bed. You go downstairs, where you and the children scramble eggs and toast a baguette. You brew a perfect pot of French press coffee, served in a warm cup on a rustic breakfast tray that you and your towheaded youngsters deliver to cries of delight. Here is how breakfast in bed will actually go: You wake up late; you’re out of coffee; he keeps calling down that he needs to get up now! He has an appointment. What are you doing down there? You get ticked off; the

dog just peed on the carpet. You pour him a glass of just out-of-date orange juice and slap it down on his nightstand. “There! Are you happy now? I was trying to make you breakfast in bed!” As Father’s Day approaches, let’s have a little more of the first scenario and less of the second. Breakfast in bed doesn’t have to be complicated — heck, it doesn’t even have to be cooked. Like so many things in life, the difference between success and failure is directly proportional to preparation. Plan a few days in advance and think about the mood you’re going for, how much time you realistically need and what specialty items you might want. With a little thought, your morning surprise will surprise you as well with its simplicity and success.

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS:

Pick up a few avocados, whole-wheat toast, cherry tomatoes and juice a few days in advance.

AVOCADOS

WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

CHERRY TOMATOES

JUICE

On the morning of, toast the bread and top each slice with 1/3 of a sliced avocado and sliced cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with sea salt, fresh black pepper and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Serve with ice-cold juice and a big cup of milky coffee. Spend breakfast basking in the glow of a perfectly executed plan and reviewing your weekend activities.

Pendant lights, like these by Feiss, are a decorative way to illuminate your space. Available at Lighting Inc.

Let there be light How to design a multifunctional bedroom lighting plan.

A BEDROOM SHOULD BE A SANCTUARY, a place to cast off the stresses of the day and be at peace. One of the most important components in a restful retreat is the lighting. Here’s where things can get complicated. Different types of light are required for the many activities that happen in a bedroom, from getting dressed in the morning to reading in the evening. The environment also should reflect who you are and make you feel at home. Penny Francis, owner and designer at Eclectic Home, emphasizes the importance of selecting light fixtures early in the design process. “It’s such a huge design element,” she says. “It’s the jewelry.” Michael Ber, owner and designer at Lighting Inc., carefully considers bedroom layout when making his recommendations. “[Lighting] depends on a lot of different factors, like the size of the room, ceiling height, furniture and how the room is laid out,” he says. Francis says people should make sure they

know their bedrooms’ measurements. When it comes to hanging light fixtures, even a few inches can throw off the look. Francis suggests using multiple layers of light, which allows for adjusting the lighting to fit the situation. She suggests using a main ceiling fixture for the brightest lighting and table and floor lamps for softer, more relaxing light. Ber’s customers usually request a ceiling fan with a light kit for the main ceiling fixture. Francis suggests using dimmers to control the main fixture’s brightness. “[An overhead light] can be blinding, especially if you’re reclining,” Francis says. “Always have dimmers on your main lighting to be able to adjust the atmosphere.” For reading light, Francis recommends attaching jointed fixtures to the wall. They can swing into the perfect position to light a page. Ber prefers recessed lighting for this purpose. “I like to use a 3- to 4-inch recessed fixture that you can put a small bulb into,” he says. “It’s

BY ERIN OPPENHEIM

a high-intensity halogen bulb, but it’s a very narrow beam, so if you put it strategically over the back of the bed, you can read or do whatever you’re doing without disturbing your spouse.” For a decorative touch, recessed lighting can be used to highlight key pieces of furniture or art, Francis says. Ber says customers with highend bedrooms gravitate toward chandeliers. “Chandeliers give ambient light that is more decorative,” he says. “We see chandeliers in large houses with high ceilings.” For the best night’s sleep, complete darkness is key. A blackout lining can be placed behind curtains or stitched into the backing. Electronically controlled shades descend from a hidden space above the window and roll up in the morning. When it comes to style, Francis suggests customers buy what they love and not worry whether it matches. “The area will come together as you work with it,” she says. J UN E. 2 0 1 5 <<<

PHOTOS COURTESY SUSAN SPAID

PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTISTS SUSAN SPAID AND MARY RESNIK say it’s time to train the next generation of artists for Louisiana’s film industry. Spaid and Resnik, who each have been in the business for more than 25 years, started Makeup Art Academy (225-302-2993; www.makeupartbootcamp.com) and are hosting two weeklong boot camps in June, where students will learn everything from high-fashion makeup techniques to special effects for film, television and commercials. The women plan to open a permanent facility on the Northshore. “We’re basically Hollywood now,” says Spaid, who formerly operated Makeup Art studio and retail store on Maple Street. “I think it’s going to get bigger and stay with this momentum.” Each session, one student will be offered an internship in which they will have a chance to work on a live set with Resnik or Spaid.

“I get calls all the time asking me, ‘How do I get in (to the business)?’,” Spaid says. “This internship is a chance for a student to experience being on set and seeing how things work.” The boot camps are weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 15-19 and June 22-26 at Hampton Inn & Suites (1201 Convention Center Blvd.). Tuition is $1,575 per session and includes a makeup kit. Sessions are limited to 10 or 12 students each. Spaid says students will learn how to transform characters through makeup, but also will receive tips about how to break into the business, proper etiquette on TV or film sets, hygiene practices, how to deal with skin and eye allergies, applying lashes, covering tattoos, putting on facial hair and more. Students also will learn about shading, camouflaging flaws and dealing with different skin types, and Spaid and Resnik

will recommend products. Makeup lessons will cover applying fashion makeup for high-definition filming, aging techniques, bullet holes, blisters, burns, bruises, black eyes, wounds, charred flesh and zombie looks.

“I love what I do and I’ve done it a long time,” Spaid says. “I want to teach people all I’ve learned, and this five-day boot camp will let someone walk on a set and have a really good start.” — KANDACE POWER GRAVES

IN YEARS PAST, HOUSE BEAUTIFUL’S KITCHEN OF THE YEAR was built in exhibition spaces in New York and San Francisco. But on the 10th anniversary of the feature, Newell Turner, editorial director of the Hearst Design Group, wanted to shake things up. “We decided, ‘Let’s try it at a higher level,’” he says. “This is the first time we have done Kitchen of the Year in a private residence. It is a very big deal.” Staffers and sponsors with ties to New Orleans selected the city and issued a call for kitchens in need of renovation. Helen and Scott Jenkins’ 1860s center-hall Uptown house proved to have the “perfect setup to showcase a kitchen,” Newell says. The Kitchen of the Year was a highlight of the Junior League of New Orleans’ annual kitchen tour in May. Ken Fulk, creative director of Ken Fulk Inc., got to know the family’s needs and then worked on understanding the space. He ultimately removed a wall, opening a sitting area to the kitchen, added an island and installed salvaged carriage doors that open onto the back porch. The result is a “practical, not precious” space where the Jenkins, their three children and dog can congregate, Fulk says. “It captures the essence of the kitchen as the new American living room,” Turner says. “I know this is going to become the center of this house.” Thomasville Cabinetry, American Standard sink, KitchenAid cooktop. — MISSY WILKINSON Photo by Gustavo Escanelle for House Beautiful J UN E. 2 0 1 5 <<<
