A while back we profiled Maison Couturier, a 19th-century estate turned hotel in San Rafael, Veracruz. We’re still drawn to the bedrooms; you too? Here are some ideas for re-creating the look.
Above: The estate is made up of limewashed walls and original brick floors. The mix of vintage decor is a nod to the French immigrants who built the estate in 1833.

Materials
Above: A similar paint color to the matte black seen on the back bedroom wall is Black Beauty from Benjamin Moore. Above: The original walls of the farmhouse in Veracruz are limewashed. For a DIY on how to achieve the same look, see our post DIY Project: Limewashed Walls for Modern Times.
Above: The Hamilton Bed, shown in Factory White, is inspired by early 20th century iron bed frames. It’s available in twin, queen, and king sizes, starting at $1,399 at Schoolhouse Electric. Another option is the Parsons Bed for $999 at Room & Board. Above: A Tailor’s 3-Tier Display Table is an English oak table from the early 20th century at Christopher Howe in London. Above: A small side table with midcentury-style legs holds a stack of white towels in the entrance to the en suite bath at Maison Couturier. For something similar, West Elm’s Mid-Century Nightstand – Natural Oak is $199.
