Teen Girl Bedroom

Life has been a bit crazy busy at the moment (as usual). I wish I had more time to blog (hoping to change that a bit). I've branched into styling more interiors (don't worry I still love fashion) and am working on several new interior design projects!! One project I'm currently working on is a teen girl's bedroom. My client loves color and pattern and wanted something bright and happy and modern. My inspiration and starting point for the project was this brightly colored geomeric art piece from Minted. Minted is one of my go-tos for good and affordable art as well as invitations, and party decor. I also love that you can have the prints framed when you order, which is nice!

And here's the final concept board...

Stay tuned for more project updates that I'll be sharing!

Woodland Nursery

I'm currently designing a woodland themed nursery. My client wants the nursery for her baby boy to be mostly neutral with a few pops of color. Keeping with the woodland theme, I chose several different textures including a lot of wood tones to help keep things interesting. I also am using lots of geometric shapes to bring a modern touch and to tie things together. I'm super excited to see this space come together and will be posting more updates along the way.

1. Leather pouf
2. Wooden tree mobile
3. Dotted crib sheet
4. Raccoon pillow
5. Metal side table
6. Two tone Dresser
7. Brass floor lamp
8. Wooden deer
9. Basket
10. Shag rug
11. Baby bear pennant flag
12. Vinyl triangles
13. DIY Triangle shelves (similar)
14. Happy camper print
   

Will's Bedroom Reveal

I'm finally sharing a few photos of Will's room! It has been a work in progress and I've been collecting and putting things together over the past year. I probably could have finished it much quicker than I did, but if you've ever designed anything for yourself you know how hard it can be. It's much easier to design for others. Because we moved a lot over the past several years, I've never really completed a space for Will so I thought it was time. I knew I wanted a space that could grow with him and reflect his personality. I also wanted a space that felt light and bright with a bit of fun. He is a four year old boy after all! I think spaces for kids don't have to feel too childish and themed, but should have some elements of playful and fun. While there are still a few things left to finish like window treatments, brass knobs for the dresser and I would like to eventually get a headboard, but for now I'm happy with how it came together.

For the home: linen bedding

What is it about linen that makes it so inviting? Despite linen wrinkling easy, I'm a big fan. It feels so relaxed and casual and doesn't have to be perfectly ironed to still look pretty. I love all these different colored versions from Anthropologie. It's also tempting to get some dye and try making my own.

What do you think, do you like a more relaxed look for your bed or do you like everything to look crisp?

     

Design details: painted front door

Last year The Huffington Post did an article about The 6 Absolute Best Paint Colors for Your Front Door (not sure about the lime green). A painted front door seems bold, but I like that it's a bit fun too. Plus, it's always a nice treat as a passerby to see a brightly painted front door. Don't you think? If I were to paint my front door, I often wonder what color I would paint it? I'm sure it would probably be a shade of blue although deep down I may try something brighter like a yellow or orangey red.

What do you think, would you paint your front door? What color would you paint it?

Home trend: round mirrors

image

I've been using all sorts of inspiration from Pinterest and home magazines lately as I finish styling the boy's bedrooms and gather inspiration for my master bedroom. One home trend I've been seeing everywhere is the round mirror. Decorating and styling with mirrors has always been a favorite of mine because they help bring in more natural light to a space. Plus, the curved lines of the round mirror pair so nicely with the straight lines of frames and furniture (or brick!).

What do you think, would you use one in your space?
