Antiques, pattern, and color don’t sleep in this primary bedroom makeover
We have an appreciation for older homes but not the patience,” admits the owner of this Little Rock residence. After recently purchasing a home built in 2021, she and her husband were eager to give the spaces—notably their bedroom—a curated-over-time feel. Seeing designer Jen Bienvenu’s work in the home of friends prompted them to reach out for her help. “Her style is different yet familiar at the same time,” the homeowner says. “I wanted our bedroom to be comfortable and warm but not feel cluttered.”
