ONE ROOM CHALLENGE- WEEK 2

One Room Challenge- Week 2 

This is week 2 of the One Room Challenge, and it is when the stress starts to set in.  I have met with my client (the 12-year-old) and her mother to determine the direction we want to take the room.  They are game to start over with everything except the pretty window treatments (and an amazing light fixture).  You can't go wrong with white linen!  

Do you remember what I am starting with...

This is where I want to go.  I want to incorporate neon pink, fuchsia, fuzzy something (pillows, area rug) and I adore that hanging chair!!  Ooh, the bright art is a must as is a desk to do homework.

So, I need to start with a clean room.  Out goes everything!  I want to paint the rooms a creamy white color.  I love the warm white of Dunn Edwards: Whisper.  This will give the entire room a base from which to start.

Then, I want to add a wallpaper that will bring in the FUN neon pink!!  No, I don't want it on all four walls.  I want to have it on the wall that you see right when you walk in the room.  Then, the bed in front will be framed by a beautiful paper.  Bang.  I have been obsessing on Osborne and Little wallpapers lately.  I think anyone can find a paper they adore from their collections!!

I want something girlish with a little sophistication.  That will allow her to keep the wallpaper for a while. This is my first choice.  It is feminine, but abstract and the pink is exactly what I want.  If I put a fuchsia bed in front of it the paper would look awesome. The neutral background will add the level of sophistication that we need.

Here is choice number two.  I love these chrysanthemums.  I am afraid it might be a bit too granny though.  Don't you?

We will have to wait and see what she choses.  Update:  I know what she chooses, but you will have to wait a week.  Are you tortured?!  I would be.  I HATE waiting for anything!!  I am so sorry:-)  Next week, I will show you the room emptied out, freshly painted and maybe a wall with wallpaper on it.  I will keep my fingers crossed:-)

Now, you must go visit the other bloggers that are participating in the challenge!  I am going to!!
