For Elissa Grayer, the perfect guest room enables guests to be completely self-sufficient. They should have a peaceful, comfortable place to sit and read, have a drink, or enjoy a conversation. At the end of the day, she wants them to look forward to climbing into a bed with the best sheets, pillows, and blankets she can find. In addition to being beautiful extensions of your home, guest rooms also must be able to take a beating; company is not always careful! For this room, she was inspired by the beautiful hand-painted silk pillows from Dransfield and Ross. She combined bedding from Yves Delorme with pieces from Matouk, a custom headboard made with a durable mohair fabric from Castel. Comfortably upholstered chairs from Donghia pair with a custom sofa and ottoman. And what would the perfect guest bedroom be without a guest bed for the dog?

Her deepest thanks go to the many wonderful people who donated their time and materials in support of her efforts for the Humane Society: Cathy Poses from Eva's Decorating , Kenise Barnes from the Kenise Barnes Fine Art Gallery, Mike Dinoia Plumbing, Best Plumbing Tile and Stone, Louis Katz from LJK Wallcovering, APerfect Goldman Electric, and The Painted Otter Tile Refinishers.
