Mark D. Sikes has done it again with his beautiful and elegant design for this years Kips Bay Showhouse in a bedroom he's dubbed: Sleeping Beauty. I'm sure you've seen this on other blogs, perhaps even his, and for some of you - you may have seen it in person. But today, I wanted to blog about not only the Sleeping Beauty bedroom, but also how it relates to some of the sneak peeks Mark gave us yesterday to what's happening in his own home, as he works to redo it for the third time.

Settle in, this is a long one! 
First, let's all take a look at the Kips Bay room before Mark got his hands on it. The 15,000 square foot, $51 million dollar mansion has 8 bedrooms total, on 7 floors - all accessible by elevator. While it follows the style of a century old Lennox Hill mansion, it's actually relatively new construction (2012) following Robert Couturier's design.
Sleeping Beauty is a relatively small bedroom on the fourth floor. It has a small vestibule, an attached bath, and access to a Juliette balcony.

Mark took the vestibule, which really acts as a closet for the room (many of the bedrooms are void of closets entirely) and turned it into a tented entry.

The walls were upholstered with Ojai Stripe, in Prussian Blue, a fabric of Mark's own design printed by Schumacher. This fabric must be Mark's personal favorite at the moment, because he's used it in the new design at his own house, too! Who could blame him" It's gorgeous.
