Hollywood Regency Bedroom With Rustic Touches
You don't often see rustic touches in a Hollywood Regency bedroom, but here, the two looks work together quite beautifully. Admittedly, that's because the rustic accents are limited to the ceiling beams; more than that, and the expensive elegance and glamour of Hollywood style would be lost.
