e-design update

do you remember the idea board i did for the tween artists  room?
well, a lot has happened in the last few months, and i have some
progress pictures to share with you!
yes, my client MADE the headboard! she did a fantastic job!
here are the things we wanted to accomplish:
more storage
purple in the room without a "purple" room
a place to read
a desk/art area
more room to spread out on the floor and hang out with friends
keep to a budget of under $2,000 for everything.

the owl lamps were in the plan from the very beginning.
as you can see, lots of storage for an active, artisitc, imaginative girl.
my client did a fantstic job of transforming my design plan into a reality, even when faced
with several hurdles including discontinued and out of stock items.
we all agree that the chalkboard wall is a fave.
my client originally wanted to frame a section of the wall with trim and paint the
interior with chalkboard paint, but i pitched the idea of painting the entire wall...
including the closet doors and casings. we both love the way it turned out.
there are still a few small elements/details to add...pillows, some trim on the curtains...

just for refernce, here are some before and after pictures of the room:
and, the idea board:

  1. Beautiful job. That headboard can even be used later with a bigger bed if necessary. Love that.

  13. This is so awesome! The difference between the before and after images is really great. The room looks so good. Everything from the purple setting, to the chalkboard wall, to the headboard, to that cute chandelier.

  14. Love the headboard! Do you think a purchased king size upholstered headboard would fit a full size bed turned sideways?

    1. my client actually MADE this headboard, following some pictures that i gave her. but i believe that a king size headboard would work on a twin sized bed. :)
