GUEST ROOM attic escape THIRD FLOOR GUESTROOM SERVES AS COLORFUL AND QUIET RETREAT WRITTEN BY AMELIA DUGGAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANNE-MARIE CARUSO T he owners of this Ridgewood home decided to create a cozy and colorful space for guests from the third-floor bedroom. The largest bedroom in the house, the space gets plenty of sunlight throughout the day and is the perfect place for vivid color choices. The nine patch yo-yo quilt contains more than 3,000 pieces of more than 100 different fabrics and was hand-cut and hand-sewn by the homeowner over a three-year period. Many of the fabrics were purchased at JoAnn Fabrics and others were purchased online from fatquartershop.com. Curtain and bed pillow fabrics are also from fatquartershop.com. Accessories including vases, wall art, decorative pillows and other pieces, many from Pier 1 Imports, reflect the homeowner’s love of color. The Ikea couch features striped pillows from Pottery Barn and an embroidered “America” pillow from Backyard Living in Ridgewood. ● 34 APRIL/MAY 2017 | (201) FAMILY 201magazine.com
