I am at it again working on
the styling of another room, this time our guest room is getting a makeover to
coordinate with the guest bath. If you
follow me you know our guest bath was recently given a little facelift, going
from bright colors to black and white with pops of blue on a tan/sand
background. The guest bedroom color
scheme is going from blues and greens to black, white and tan with an icy blue
background to make everything pop; a very sharp, clean look. Here are some of the photos which originally
inspired both the guest bath and bedroom. Can you guess which elements in each room I was drawn to?
Lately I have been very drawn
to Shabby Chic, French and European design, which is not my usual style but
never the less very appealing in its old world warmth and architectural
design. I was itching to give it a try,
why not in a room which pretty much sits alone at one end of the house on the
top floor? The funny thing is I made several Paris inspired pillows, from some
fabric a reader sent to me last year, which were just sitting in my design
stash waiting for a home. Even with all the photos, research and design boards
done the pillow became my jumping off point instead. It just goes to show, you never know which
way a project is going to go, sometimes you just have to let it evolve naturally
and see where it winds up.
Thanks for letting me share
the beginning stages of my newest styling project with you. I have a long way to go to get the room where
I want it; follow along with me as I progress with lots of money saving DIY
projects designed to enhance that Shabby/French/Paris feeling. This project is
not going to be a quick one because I believe it will be evolving for quite a
while so check in often to see what I am up to.
See you soon.
Laurette
