Beauty in the Bedroom(5)

Beloved Collections Belong in the Bedroom

As your ultimate private escape, the bedroom demands decorating that showcases your favorite personal “things.” Its success can be gauged by how well it incorporates the collections, art, furnishings, and fabrics that speak to who you are. The master bedroom in this New York City apartment brings some of the owner’s most important American folk art paintings and collectibles to her bedside. The signed 1812 John Brewster Jr. portrait above the bed, in fact, is currently on loan to the Museum of American Folk Art. The khaki-colored modern upholstered custom bed is a modern and neutral counterpoint to the antique artworks.
