Getting out of my comfort zone

Good Morning Loves!  Did you have a wonderful weekend?  We were busy around here preparing to depart for Colorado for Christmas vacation.  I cannot wait to see my sister and my nieces and nephews.  Oh and my brother-in-law too, of course, but he is chopped liver compared to my sissy.  :)

I've been busy trying to tie up some loose ends before we leave and one thing included was an e-design for a client I want to share with you.  My client, JG, has an amazingly gorgeous home with huge windows that showcase a stunning view.  Her living room was previously done in deep red, camel, brown & gold and she was ready for a change.  Her home has an open floor plan, and it is painted Sherwin Williams Safari, which we were not able to change.  Depending on the light, Safari can go from gold to green to khaki.

Also on the keep list was her living room furniture and red oriental rug.  She has small children and hopes to get a few more years out of the current sofa and tables while accidents are still common occurrences. 

Do you notice a trend so far?  Yep, brown.  Brown walls, brown floors and brown furniture.  Brown is so NOT my signature color. 

I wanted to bring in some cool elements to contrast with the warm tones.  What better way to do that than with the ever-gorgeous Nympheus from GP & J Baker for Lee Jofa? 

Since her windows are so tall (175"!), we chose to add a blue banding to the bottom of the panels, adding another cool element to the space. I partnered the Nympheus with another favorite Les Touches.

Want to see how it all came together?

This was definitely a job that pushed me to extend my comfort zone a bit since I am not a huge fan of the brown family.  But the end result is excellent!  I hope to share after pictures with you soon.

 

Have a great day.
