The Menzanos' master bedroom is turned over to the design team so they can complete their decorating mission--here's how they do it:

• The walls are painted a vibrant persimmon color, which immediately adds warmth to the room.
   

• Sheinkopf creates a custom headboard using a raised paneled door and 4x4 posts. He adds caps to the posts for a more finished look. The entire piece is painted a semi-gloss white mixed with a yellow oxide for a buttery color. Sheinkopf creates a weathered look by applying an umber-colored glaze.
   

• Cunningham dresses up the new iron light fixture by embellishing the chandelier shades. She washes over the shades with a sepia-toned watercolor and hot-glues trim to the top and bottom. Next, she mixes gold and black paint together and, using a pencil as her paintbrush, paints a fleur-de-lis pattern onto each shade.

   

• Anderson revives two thrift-store chairs by refinishing the frames with stain and adding new seat covers.

   

• The asymmetrical windows are unified with a wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling curtain.

   

• An armoire is purchased to hide the TV. Cunningham applies a glaze that is a mixture of a one-half quart of glaze and a full quart of paint. When the surface is dry to the touch but still tacky, she lightly wipes away the glaze using a 100 percent cotton cloth. When completely dry, she ages the piece by wiping an umber glaze into the creases.

   

• Additional bedding is combined with the homeowners' existing comforter for more color and texture.

   

• The various accessories like the new light fixture, candle sconces, basket and pottery add to the room's French country feel.
