From the moment I started designing this room, I knew it would be one of my favorites! What girl can resist a room so flirty and femine? When Alison contacted me about helping her spruce up her office/ lady cave into a chic, modern space, I knew that glam and girly was the way to go.
My favorite find on this board... the gray links fabric is for a futon cover! Yes, I know. Just adorable. And relatively inexpensive from Tonic Living. Alison noted that she has a futon currently in the room and that it must stay, so I suggested that she paint the oak frame of her futon either shade (light or dark) of gray and add this new cover. Perfect addition to the room.
I'm a big fan of this Eskayel wallpaper. It's so pretty! Alison could either do an entire accent wall in the paper or even just a large wall scroll hanging (like Chassity did here in her kitchen).
I'm also head over heels for the quartz paperweight for Alison's desk. I've also seen these for less than $20 at HomeGoods.
I always like to take into consideration what "needs" each room has, so when Alison mentioned that she'd like to have a chalkboard area in the room for her little ones, I made sure to work it into the design. Because a whole chalkboard wall isn't exactly glam, I thought she could dress it up with a beautiful white, ornate frame (or two or three!). How incredible would it look if Alison did a whole wall with chalkboard + white frames for the little ones to draw in?! Or simply set a large frame leaning up against the wall, almost like an easel. Lots of options there : ) Alison can just spray paint some Goodwill frames and either paint the walls with chalkboard paint or a surface behind the frame (plywood, glass, etc)-- a good chalkboard frame tutorial can be found here.
Alison loves the design and her entire source list, which puts a big smile on my face! In fact, this is what she said: Michelle, to say that I love this mood board would be an understatement! Ahhh, I am so excited and just love everything about it!!! Thanks for being so great to work with, Alison!

ReplyDeleteOh I just majorly heart this space! So fun and feminine and I LOVE that darn desk! It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteLiterally, it is hard to put into words how MUCH I love what you have done. Seriously--it is adorable, rad, awesome--haha---I love it! What do I love the most? The desk, the lamp, the throw pillow, and the futon cover! Great work!
ReplyDeleteCute room! I love the lumbar pillow! By the way I linked you to a post today!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this room Michelle, and it's so timely-- I'm starting to put together mood boards for L.'s and my new apartment, and the theme we're going with is a more gender-neutral metallic, glass, and dark wood theme (graphites/charcoals/lots of glass/pops of gold/chrome/espresso and cherry woods/some grays and yellows, and pops of raspberry and navy for equal gender balance). Some of these objects will go GREAT in my rooms. I am SO excited that that beautiful futon cover comes in a pillow too!! =)
ReplyDeleteI love the feel of this mood board....I need a lady-cave!!! Seriously!! That lamp - yum. And that chair - lucite? *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI think I need a whole apartment in this color scheme for girls' weekends!

I have a question for you though...how do you do the picture thing that you have done with the images for this post? I am trying to figure it out and it's driving me crazy. Is there a program that you use? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!!
