Decorate with Boots and Antiques
The floors in this attic-turned master were full-on filthy before the renovation of this Washington, D.C. home.

Her collection of Frye boots doubles as decor because, as with most old houses, closet space is at a premium. Various antiquing scores flank the bed.

Go All White
This king-sized bed was "originally the color of peanut brittle," said the owners of this Wisconsin home, so they painted it white and outfitted it with a cream-colored silk coverlet, a stitched quilt, and Euro shams.

And to add a few more pops of nature, the owner display dried thistles in old apothecary bottles and a long row of succulents in a vintage gutter.
