When I started this blog a few weeks ago, I wasn't entirely sure about the direction I wanted it to take. As it has started to evolve, I have begun to see that I want the blog to be a place where I can share inspirations that I discover, as well as those that I create. To that end, I hope to start designing some inspiration rooms that are not necessarily for my own home (although I will continue to do those as well:) These rooms will begin with a single item that I want to design around and go from there- some will be purely fantasy, and others will be more attainable. For the first room, I started with a gorgeous pair of regency chairs that I found this morning on ebay and put together a living room that I would actually love to have in real life.
The chairs, leopard stools and green glass lamps are all from ebay. The sofa is from Jayson Home and Garden and the lucite/brass coffee table is by Jan Showers. The wallpaper is Cole and Son and is designed by Vivienne Westwood; it's called magnolia. The area rug is called Key Shadow and is by Suzanne Sharp and the glass bubble chandelier is Lindsey Adelman. The fabrics for the room are La Fiorentina by David Hicks and Hollywood Grape by Neisha Crosland.
What do you think???

Hi Christine, you sure do have a talent! The 'Magnolia' wallpaper is beautiful - so feminine and I love it paired w/La Fiorentina (one of my favorites)! This room screams so 'chic'! Out of curiosity, what application do you use to create your mood boards??
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran- so nice of you!!! I have been using powerpoint to do the boards and it actually works surprisingly well- I just add the pictures, crop and move etc., select all and then save as a picture- from there I just upload the picture-I know there is a more professional way of doing them but this way seems to work:)
ReplyDeleteI love the wallpaper too- it's available as a rug as well from the Rug Company- so goregous. Sadly, I don't have enough money, wallspace or floorspace for all of the lovely things out there. One can dream though:)
