A view from my window - the pool

Inspiration can come from just about anywhere, even the pool! We are enjoying our last few weeks of summer and squeezing in as much pool time as we can. Aah, a dive in the pool is so refreshing.

What makes this room so appealing is the symmetry, both sides of the room mirror each other, which provides visual balance and a calm, peaceful feel. I also like the color palate of white, turquoise, and blue with a little black, it feels so fresh and inviting.

Have a great weekend!

A client's guest room

A client asked me to spruce up her guest room. In her words, her room is a hodge-podge of things, and wants it to look fresh and put together.

Here is an idea "mood" board I put together for her:

My starting off point was using the color navy blue, which was inspired by the deep blue color of the ocean that can been seen looking out the windows of this room and then I added a little citrine and turquoise to provide that fresh feel my client wants. I also wanted to have contrast in the room, white with navy blue, and natural with shiny gold/brass items, both of which give a nod to the ocean/beachy theme without being too literal. In addition, I wanted the main elements of the room, like wall color, bed, and night stands, to be neutral, so that if she ever wants a different look, she could change the accent items, like the decorative pillows and blanket, for a quick, relatively inexpensive fix.
