Our Totally 80's Vacation Bedroom

The home we stayed in in Beaver Creek this past week was absolutely perfect for us - it was extremely spacious and had great sound insulation, which was paramount with our 15-month old nephew staying with us.

While it didn't have typical "mountain home" decor with antlers and pine everywhere, you could tell the original owners had put a lot of expense into decorating and it was very charming. It appeared that our bedroom and bathroom had been done in the 80's based on the wallpaper patterns, but for whatever reason, the condition of everything appeared virtually unused. No peeling wallpaper, soiled or worn fabric, etc.



Our room had the type of pattern that looks totally busy on a small sample, but when plastered all over the walls, valance, and dust skirts, it took on more of a background character. This is often done with toile but worked equally well with this pattern. With this wonderful red/blue based pattern, its high canted ceiling paneled in pine with pine beams, the shaped, upholstered valance, and the china lamps and duck sculpture on the small pine cabinet, this room just had me at hello.
