The Beall Master Bedroom  
The master bedroom in Kreis Beall's cabin in Cashiers, North Carolina, reflects her personal style with elements that would make any bedroom a destination. Charleston designer Kathleen Rivers crafted the look, which is defined by the wonderful contrast of embroidered and checked fabrics. I love the mix of refined and rustic -- alabaster lamps against the log cabin walls, the fur throw over a matelasse coverlet, English botanicals over twig tables. The idea I want to steal here: the swing-arm lamps mounted inside the bed's hanging canopy, with shades made from the same fabric.
If this room were ... It would be ...
A car A vintage Fiat convertible
An outfit A mink-trimmed tweed suit with suede boots
A cocktail A Scotch and water
