Thank you, Beth, for having me! This was a fun challenge and it was nice that you had great neutrals to start out with. Since I wasn’t really confined to working with a specific color, I decided to take a piece of art I’ve been loving for a while now (thanks to another wonderful blogger) and use that as my jumping off point. The abstract by Karina Bania just really speaks to me: I love the simplicity of it, yet it doesn’t lack color.
I simply built off of that and then added a pop of burgundy for something a bit unexpected. Hope you enjoy!
From top left, clockwise: prints | floor lamp | side table | side chair | stripe pillow | blue rug | sisal rug | coffee table | tray | glass knot | console | boxes | lamp | art | couch | pink pillow | blue pillow | burgundy pillow | patterned pillow
I love unexpected and think every room needs a good dose of it. I also love that lamp and have been eying that table at Target every time I go. I will also say that this is the closest anyone has come to the actual rug I chose! Great job Gwen…you just solidified your crush status 🙂 Make sure to stop by her blog if you haven’t already. And a big thank you to all of the designers who took time out of their busy schedules to create design plans for my living room. Next week I will show you MY plans and then the following week will be the reveal of the actual room! Cannot wait!
