client inspiration + tween room design plan

a few weeks ago, a client contacted me about designing a
room for her artistic almost 12 year old daughter.
(in fact, she is giving her daughter this room makeover
for her 12th birthday...how awesome is that?) 
she already had a start, but was stuck.
her requests:
she wanted some purple, but didn't want a "purple" room.
lots of storage for arts and crafts, 
a comfy place to read 
and a touch of yellow giraffe.
she also sent me a picture of the
that her daughter had fallen in love with.
oh, and everything needed to be under $2,000.
(and i do mean everything...the only thing
staying from the old room will be the mattress.)
here is the amazing picture she sent me as inspiration:
and here is the idea board 
i came up with:
i think it will be a fun space when it is finished.
one entire wall, including the closet doors will be painted in
chalkboard paint. the other walls will be a soft gray.
my client is going to make the headboard...
i can't wait to see how it turns out! 

interested in working together to make your space 


more functional and beautiful?

  8. Oh, I will not be showing this to MY daughter, this she would love! Can you believe she suddenly has a distaste for pink, too bad I say, for now! (I just completed her room with her picking everything out with me under two years ago, including the pink!)

  9. Isn't this a small world? I follow your friend's blog and she mentioned you and your talent and I was so pleased I could agree that you do have amazing talent. I could see it years ago in our first year of design class. So fun to see what you have done!

  12. Fantastic!
    I agree with all of the comments. You did an amazing job jumping off from the owl lamp (which is so cute) and the inspiration photo. You really got it. I love following along on all of your projects.
