minty-fresh bedroom
As our children grow, toys and stuffed animals give way to other interests and hobbies, favorite colors change, and personal expression becomes more nuanced. In this case, my clients’ tween daughter was looking for a serene bedroom space that reflected her love of sketching and painting.

the power of paper
I love the way wallpaper can transform a space! The inspiration for this room began with the client’s favorite color. When we found this modern mint pattern, it was clear this would drive the overall feeling of the room.
budding artist
While there’s plenty of storage for supplies and books in the adjacent closet, I think it’s important to make sure hobby tools are on display. If she sees art tools nearby, she’s more likely to pick them up and use them!
In the same vein, we kept the other walls of the room clean and white so she has a backdrop for her evolving personal works of art.
custom touches
While hunting for the perfect pillow for this space, I ran across a duvet cover in this lovely mint and aqua painterly print. The fabric was ideal for the space, so we had it made into a lumbar pillow perfectly sized for both lounging and sleeping with.
