Cape Cod Inspired Bedroom

Inspiration

Two Morgan Hill, CA homeowners wanted to redecorate their master bedroom. Some of the homeowners favorite vacation places included the Hamptons, Cape Cod, and Martha's Vineyard. They wanted their master bedroom to remind them of their travels to those favorite places.
