My Dream Bedroom

Our bedroom has kind of been one of the neglected rooms in our house. I like what I have done with it using what I have, but we haven't really put much money into it. The bed is a $30 metal frame, and I made the tufted headboard for about $60. Our dresser is the same one I have had since I was like 10 years old. Our nightstands are plastic drawers from Wal-Mart, and our Ikea lamps have seen better days. Bedroom furniture is just too expensive and not in our budget right now, BUT that doesn't stop me from dreaming. I put together my dream bedroom on a design board. Here is what I came up with:

The bed is the Hudson Bed from Pottery Barn, and it is, of course, paired with my West Elm Bedding. The Linx Pillow is from Z Gallerie and I have been coveting that fabric for a while now. I want to make a bolster pillow out of it for my bed. The chair is Swoop Upholstered Accent Chair-Gorgeous Pearl from Target. Curtains are also from Target. I have wanted a glass lamp base for years now! Most of them are pretty pricey, for me that is, but Target has a reasonably priced Tear Drop one. I paired it with a fabulous Gold Chevron Lamp Shade, also from Target. (Can you tell I really like Target?) The side table is the Isala Side Table from Ikea. (I also really love the matching Isala Coffee Table.) Then to top off the room I would add a few decorative accents. The Ceramic Books and Faux Coral are from Z Gallerie. So there you have it! That is my dream bedroom. Maybe someday...

Design Boards

I had the priviledge of doing some design boards for a wonderful client. They recently moved into a new home and their entry, living room, and dining room needed some help. My client new she wanted gray walls with accent colors of gold and a jewel tone blue inspired by Organic Bloom frames. Fun, right?! So here is what I came up with for the entry:

E. Wood Floors

F. Rug

G. Mirror

And the living area:

E. Entertainment Center: large built-in entertainment center painted dark gray.

E. Roman shades

The dining room:

Living Room Design Board

I recently did a design board for a neighbor of mine who is putting her house on the market. She wanted to make it look more presentable. It is a gorgeous 1930's brick home with tons of character. In her living room there are two gorgeous stained glass windows on either side of the fireplace. I decided to work with the warm colors in the glass.

Online Living Room Design Board

I recently did an online design board. My client wanted to give her living room blue and green accents and make it feel more light and airy. Here is what I came up with:

I also did a quick sketch of the space to give my client an idea of furniture and accessory placement.

I am happy with how it all turned out. I can't wait to see it come together!
