Goodmorrow friends.
Someone smashed into the back of my car yesterday when I was stopped at a red light...it sucked...made my kids cry and my neck hurt like a son of a...we're all OK though and the silver lining is that I'll get a rented mini-van for a few days while our 7 seater monster gets fixed...I never thought I'd live to see the day when a rented Dodge Caravan would make me happy but such is the phase I'm in;)
In other news...
continues.
Progress on the office is happening and I promise pictures as soon as it's all said and done.
For now, I give you bedroom plans.
This is the before...though I'll tell you, Ali's room is pretty great to start with...
That glowing orb in the giant Venini goodess we scored months ago at some Jewish good will like store...I think we paid $200 for it and well, it's reeeeeal good.
The furniture is all staying, though I have something up my sleeve for the end tables...A from A doesn't know of this yet...surpriskis;)
This pretty vanity is also a part of the mixology...
The plan for the boudoir began as a pink/red scheme after I found a delightful pair of red campaigns on Etsy and this GP&J fabric, which I'm batty about...
...can you just see that loveliness as curtains?
Fudgepacker it would be good.
Anyhoo...the first draft plan was this...and please ignore the white backgrounds on everything...this one was done mid-computer breakdown number 'god knows how many'...
This plan was A from A boyfriend approved but sadly, the red chests sold and well, they wouldn't have fit in the room anyway so...back the drawing board.
After a few back and forths, we decided on no extra furniture, aside from a vanity chair...just walls, curtains, art, accessories, etc.
And in the intern, A from A also sent me some inspiration shots...
...so I got back to work {once my computer was replaced with you know...one that works} and came up with this revised goodness...
Key points:
Pink wallpaper...and PS, are we not SO excited that this amazing print now comes in pink? I AM!
Moroccan blanket with sparkles.
Domesticate dotty fabric for curtains.
Large vintage gilt mirror.
Vintage chair for vanity.
Chinoise panels framed in acrylic.
Great pastely art from Kerry Steele.
Albino peacock...sidenote...A from A want are both chomping at the bit for one of these beauties...thinking Christmas presents...as the Secret protests, if we put it out there, it will happen...any taxidermists out there who might want to donate one/two to the cause, you know where to find me;)
Anyhoo....this bedroom plan/scheme is happening.
If any wallpaper suppliers want in on the action, we'd be happy to blog about you in exchange for a paper discount;)
God...I'm begging all over the place today- ha!
Oh and also...an amazing artist and consultant named Megan Peter contacted me last night with some pieces she thought I might like...how amazing is that?
One in particular caught my eye and god willing, if it's available in print form...well...it MUST make an appearance in Casa A from A and perhaps Casa Me...it's just that good...
COULD. YOU. DIE?
I could.
Will Cotton...you're a genius and pleeeeeeaaaaassssseeee tell me you print things so us poppers can afford them.
Peace out lovers.

Ahhhhmazing! You seriously have the most bestest style in the planets. ha! Really though, you are so talented and your daughter is really lucky to have you design such a beautiful and sophisticated space for her!
Ohhh its going to be so absolutely fabulous. So obsessed with that wallpaper.
It's Gorrrgeeeous! I to am dying to have a white peacock! Sigh....
So gorgeous, all of it!!
So pretty! Christine, could you please tell me where you're getting the Chinoise panels? I'm contemplating something similar for my own bedroom makeover. Thank you, and happy decorating!!
I die for that pink couch and zebra pillow. One day...one day...
Sorry about the fender bender - so happy to hear everyone is ok.
And, that pink wallpaper - I'd do cartwheels for that (and I haven't done cartwheels in a really long time!).
Enjoy tooling around in your Dodge Caravan!

Happy to hear you are all okay. The insurance company will likely be asking you for carseat info - if I remember correctly, if they've been purchased within the last 2 years they will reimburse you up to a certain amount. {had a rear ender on my way to work early last year}. On the bright side, great inspriation board!
I'm loving the scheme and I must say the albino peacock is definitely a must, as is the sparkly comforter!
That's going to be gooo-ood. Lucky girl to have you dressing her room.
I actually had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Cotton once and hearing him speak about his work. Pretty amazing to hear the inner workings of his talent!
Also, glad you and the chitlins are all okay! ox
Oh the plan is GOOD!
Wallpaper - YES. where can I get it?
Love the panels framed in acrylic- genius
Vintage chair = gorgeous.
This is going to be a stunning room.
I love the colors you chose and that painting by Will Cotton is Amazing!
This is going to be so pretty! You are incredible!
So pretty! Love the art and the sparkle of the moroccan blanket against the black and white graphic print. x
I hate car wrecks-you remember that banging noise-hate it! But I am so glad you all are ok. It has awakened the creative juices in you, for sure! ( Not that they were dead!) but what a fun post. You are a riot, and so talented, and entertaining! You go girl

omg so glad yall are ok! accidents are so scary! loving the room you designed... i'd never think i could pull off all those patterns and colors in one space and then you put them together and it's magic. bravo! xoxo
So glad that you and your family are ok! I was in a similar crash when I was 10 which was really frightening.
I love the red chests!!
will cotton is amazing.
and i love all the boards you sparkled out.
the room is going to be so pretty. and kerry steele bought one of my paintings! small world.
Oh poor you! Hope your neck is feeling better this morning. I know how painful it can be and the fright children get when your car is hit up the bottom by another vehicle - it has happened to me. It's much louder and more explosive than you would think at low speed. Quick recovery to yourself and your children.
On another note; I like this artwork despite the artists obsession with food! That fairy floss looks so yummy! Love the romantic feeling of the work via keeping mostly within the light value range. Even his darks are not very dark. Still, the painting is pushed far enough value wise. Very pretty work.
Thanks for sharing : ) x
Car wrecks suck!
The room is beautiful you find such great pieces.
P.S. - I backed into someone earlier this evening in the parking lot when I dropped Bronte off at her dance class, I felt like such a dork!. That is one expensive 1/2 dance lesson for a 3 year old.
love both scheme Christine and yes that floral and birdie fabric is to die for... though I think I just died with those polka dot being drapes. I may just have to get in with you on that order and have you order some more for my drapes in the bedroom!
Seriously!!
can't wait to see what you're doing with peacock and that pendant is something you got from a goodwill? Lady when are we going shopping?
Hope your car and your neck both get better soon! XO
I bet you are the coolest mini van driver ever!
My boards always have white behind the furniture, I don't even know how to fix it!
so many great details! i love the pink wallpaper!! and btw i am SO happy you and your family are ok! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
Wow. What a gorge and sophisticated room for your girl. I too was thrilled when I first saw that wallpaper in pink. The other colors were more kitchen and bathroom colors to me. How will you use that wedding blanket? On her bed? Love the idea of bringing that in her room.
Sorry to hear about your car accident! Glad everyone is safe. I knows what you say about the time of life. I traded my land rover in for a Routan when I had girl #3 and can't imagine having any other vehicle. It makes driving so easy, which is the last thing you want to be a hastle when taking care of tots. For reals.
I'm just loving Project Zhush! So much delicious inspiration.
That painting? WOW!
