before doing anything i had to find something to show them- just so that they could see what i was thinking. i found an old West Elm catalog that had dusty pinks, and muted lavendars, but grounded with neutrals- that proved to be the inspiration for the whole room- using the neutrals helped make it not sooo girly, as pinks and lavendars would tend to do.
Since the current room was already basically black and white- how much more neutral could i get? with the addition of maybe a tan or taupe, i could keep the white couches, black dining table and accent tables, and just add some other colors to easily transform the room. here was the inspiration board:
Based off of that, i showed them a rough idea (via the magic of Photoshop) how it could possibly look with this new colorstory implemented...
They liked it, but were still a little unsure. I convinced them that i knew what i was doing (let the lies begin..) and since they were leaving for three weeks, they didn't really have a choice, and they wouldn't be around to stop me! (he he) Well... three weeks later, the end result didn't turn out as i originally thought... stay tuned for the final episode....
