ONE ROOM CHALLENGE DETAILS

Whoa nellie. That was some kinda response to my ORC room. I was overwhelmed.

In most cases by the time I have finished with a room I can't look at it objectively anymore. I start thinking do I even like it and what do I need to change...blaa....blaa.

Over think. Over criticize.

But those are my demons.

You came back to hear some details about the room so here goes.

First up is the fabric.

I have used it before in the last ORC [my guest room].

Do I love it?

You betcha. You can find it at Lewis and Sheron

I love that it has a pretty cream background and so many variations of greige.

The wall color is BM White Dove and the cabinet color is ASCP French Linen.

We ordered the seagrass rug from Overstock and I picked up the hide at Scotts. I love using seagrass for it's texture and durability.

This rug and table came from World Market. The sunburst mirror was purchased at Target in the summer [not really knowing where it would go but at 14.00 I could not pass it up].

The pillow in the chair was mine and I used them in the Inspiration Showhouse.

When I was first trying to shoot this room I looked for inspiration on the internet. Photographing neutrals can be tricky.

I found this shot of my good friend Steve's DR. His blog An Urban Cottage is a favorite.

The colors are similar but the green accents really help to make the shot. So I took a cue:)

Another small detail we did was take a piece of pine and stain it for the 2 small bump outs.

Here is a picture of the light fixture before. I got this a couple of years ago at the Currey & Co. warehouse sale for 5.00. Probably because there was no glass.

I love the shade that Maggie whipped up for it.

It added softness and gave it some presence.

These Robert Abby lamps used to be in my living room. The shades came from some other lamps I had.

Yep....I love lamps and chairs.

In this shot....the floor lamp is RH and was bought at the outlet years ago. The small round table is from HomeGoods. The bird prints are from Scott's. Pillow from HomeGoods, throw from Ikea and I bought the bamboo chest at Lakewood Flea Market [sadly no more] 15 years ago.
