Room of the week: a master bedroom Gets a Makeover dark and dramatic - When interior designer Lindsay Pennington moved into the house of the husband Tim Mosher in the Laurel Canyon area of Los Angeles "the whole house was a caveman," she said. Together, the couple renovated all the living areas, kitchens, bathrooms and children's rooms; combining their effects, buying new things and compromise.

Pennington then waited until the professional musician and composer left for a Super Bowl in New Orleans concert to redecorate their bedroom with pieces they already had. It changed the layout, if the walls and painted ceilings and upcycled furniture before their house Mosher, completing the metamorphosis in just four days.
