Hi Lauren!
Love your style and blog! I need help with my bedroom. I'll email you pics of what I have and colors/styles I like. We're keeping our headboard, gold sunburst mirror, and lamps. I have some great vintage bedside tables and a dresser coming. They are in a blond wood finish, and I don't mind painting them, but they're lovely as is. I have all the major pieces, now I just need help with bedding, curtains, art and accessories. I would define my style as modern eclectic. Color-wise, I am loving saffron, gray, peacock blue and maybe even a pop of magenta or dark purple. Thank you SO much and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Jill
Using Jill's mirror, lamp, and blonde wood furniture as a jumping off point, I came up with a modern eclectic space with pops of purple:
Now, keep in mind that I don't always get idea boards right on the first try. After sending this off to Jill, she wrote back to me:
Hi Lauren!
Thank you so much for my idea board! It really is stunning. I love all your choices! I'm wondering if you can keep most of the same elements, but incorporate a few changes? My husband is not loving the dark purple, which is cra-zay considering he's a Minnesota Vikings fan! LOL.
- Can we keep all the neutral elements, but remove the dark purple and add in robins egg blue as our accent color?
- The blond dresser and nightstands I thought I was inheriting seem to be a no-go, so I'm going to paint the ones we already own. A paint color suggestion would be most appreciated. Maybe a taupey gray or mushroom color with antique brass pulls?
- I'm not 100% sure I want to keep the gold mirror in the room. Could you send me another option?
Jill
Of course, Jill's changes were very reasonable and I was happy to do them free of charge. Here is the second idea board I designed with Jill's requests incorporated:
And Jill's response this time is just what I love to hear:
Hi Lauren!
