A while back, the before and after pictures of this town house's living room were posted... Here's the bedroom... But first, here's the house with a ilttle snippet of the 'after' version of the living room as a reminder... As for the bedroom, it sort of goes from 'colonial' in flavor (complete with baby's crib...) to what one might call 'transitional-chic'...

This is a definite improvement for me. The colonial decor was not something I would ever choose for my home.

The after is beautiful. I am shocked I really like the bed. I think it is very well done.

@stevieb THANKS!  I have always wanted a house in Georgetown.  That looks like one!  

Oddly enough, we just redid our bed and it looks like the bedding on this one!  So yes I love it!   I don't have curtains however, and have been looking for a rug!  So thanks for reading my mind and supplying some more ideas!

Love the transitional-chic term and decor. Thanks for sharing.

I do not care for either bed in the rooms.  The room redone is nice but nothing special, it lacks warmth and needs some color. My opinion.

Interesting to see a silver bed in an 1800's style house.  Very much 1930's, 40's Hollywood.  

The before colonial design reminds me of staying in an old inn in New England...warm and cozy.  Love it.

Dramatic style change between the two.  

Wouldn't use either styles, but surprised to see smaller versions of the green Tang Dynasty horse I have in the second bedroom photo.

Both "before" and "after" are pretty!  Such a spacious and architecturally pleasing bedroom.

I did like the built in book case in the "before".  All in all, I might have kept more of the "before", with minor updates.  I would have perhaps kept the bare four poster, but definitely ditched the canopy and curtains.  Refreshed the bedding like they did so well in the "after".

There are a few "trendy" elements which I think tend to date a room in the "after",  like that quatrefoil mirror.  That shape has been so overdone of late.  Not fond of the chrome floor lamp or what appears to be a chrome and mosaic (?) table in the left front of image.

But still, the over all feeling of both incarnations of the room is so pleasant-- I'd be thrilled to have either one, with those minor adjustments!

It looks as if these folks are comfortable with a range of styles. I predict this won't be the last time they make changes.

I like the bedroom in the after. I am also surprised I like that bed. Not something I would usually consider.

@Sooner  Yes, Georgetown... And only too happy to oblige... I saw a rug a few years back that looked a lot like this one, until I enlarged the picture anyway... Then, it's clear this is a very different, much nicer and probably much more pricey rug... Anyway, the one I saw was one of those 'made to look faded' numbers in creams and blues... I coveted that rug, talked myself out of it and by the time I relented, it was, naturally, gone... I didn't need it but it sure was purtee...
