Of all the items that my client inherited, we decided to work the room around a plethora of custom pillows. And by plethora, I mean close to twenty. Okay, maybe not, but there was a LOT. Pictured top left are 2 of the pillows that guided us into a very French direction. With a myriad of colors including Mint, Celadon, Apricot, & Pink, our first task was to find a coordinating rug. And might I add, this was no easy task. Most of the rugs that worked were traditional French Aubusson style (delicate needlepoint) which were not practical.
Just when I thought my search was coming to an unfruitful end, upon catching just a small corner of one particular rug peeking out from a rather large pile at a local showroom, I caught my breath. Not even waiting for help to flip pounds of rugs, I muscled through, hoping that the unveiling of the entire rug would be my salvation. (Oh the drama)
And just as I had hoped, this was IT!!! (And the angels began to sing...ahh AHHH!) I pounced on it as if there were herds of onlookers just waiting to grab the rug out from underneathe me. Meanwhile, no one was around. (Just the sound of crickets) Laying on top of it like a face down version of DaVinci's "Vitruvian Man", I heard a salesman approach, "Was there something I could help you with Ma'am"?
And so we purchased the rug. Next was the window treatment design & the purchase of a wrought iron & fabric king sized bed. A minty-celadon silk was chosen for the drapes & a creamy velvet for the bed...a warmer paint color on the walls & a chandelier in place of the ceiling fan. And we're still not done. For now, we have positioned a desk in the room that was given to my client by her sister, but it is not known if that will stay. We need sizeable night tables, a flat screen console & a comfortable chair..so that is what I am working on now.
