Today, I made a Simple (vintage yet retro) feeling room. I imagine it being a sun room away from all noise/craziness of the rest of the house (can you tell I'm a mom).
I am very 60's/70's inspired. I wanted this room to be the first that showed off my personal style. While it is definitely a work in progress, I will use this as a basis to work off of what I'd like to see in the future.
My choice of color is a little eclectic, a somber shade of orange. I love it because it reminds me of Fall. The pop of color in the chairs really brought out the paint along with the white table/accents.
The bookshelf was another personal favorite of mine. I love the symmetry of the shelves, yet asymmetry of the books. A little bit like my own personality - an organized chaos.
This is the view you would see as you walk in the beautiful french doors. I love the stand alone lamps that give the room a warm inviting feel. I picture stacks of books next to the owl just waiting to inspire. The owl is a great addition to any room. The fact that he is very "70's" just added to the appeal for me. I also added two flower prints to tie it all together.
I really liked the two teal/white giraffes, so I thought they were a nice addition to the simple table. I tied them together with the picture frames. While much of the furniture is of the white/brown design, I really like the black picture frames as they seem to "pop" just a little better. This wall is the most simple of the four, but I think sometimes less is more.
That brings us to the end of my first design, if you'd like to see more - please follow me by email or Networked Blogs on the right hand side. Please feel free to leave your feedback! I really do enjoy reading all of the comments I receive, including constructive criticism. Thanks for stopping by!
