fter fully renovating their 1920s
Italian Renaissance-style home last
year, these homeowners in Augusta,
Georgia, wanted their guest bedroom to
exude the comfortable luxury of a chic
boutique hotel. Interior designer Brittany
Cason Johnston chose a striking, artistic
fabric and light-pink ceiling paint to lay the
foundation for an elegant at-home retreat.
“It makes you feel at ease, but it still has
its glitz and its glory at the same time,” says
Brittany, the principal designer at Brittany
Cason Interior Design. A common thread
through most of her work is an appreciation
for history, and she strives to blend authentic
nuance with modern flair. While a ceiling
fresco might feel appropriate for the Italian-
influenced abode, the glossy blush coloroverhead makes for an eye-catching element
more on par with contemporary taste and
the homeowners’ vision.
The hue also extends to the adjoining
bathroom. “It was meant to define the space
and set the tone,” says Brittany, who selected
the girlish shade based on the homeowners’
desire for a distinctly feminine aesthetic.
