Design Project and A Giveaway Winner

What a great week this was, with lots of projects going on and a response to the design board giveaway that really blew me away.  I had so many nice emails from readers about launching my Online Design. I can't thank you all enough!
 
Just like any good cliffhanger on tv, I'm going to share a project before I get to the winner!




This dining room is on the opposite side of the family room that I designed online, here.  I am going through this entire home, main floor first.  Some online, some in person.

The rug is the inspiration, and I am tying in the entire first floor for great flow.  I don't want the rooms to match like twins wearing the same clothes, but I definitely want them to hold hands and get along.




Notice the wood floor -- a brown with a purple undertone.  This floor runs throughout the main level, except in the family room  (I'm going to digress a bit to show you my thought process).  Here's the family room, again from this post.  Notice the pink/purple undertones in the fireplace, and the pink undertones in the rug and paint.  The homeowner did a fabulous job coordinating her undertones when she chose the bones of this new construction.




Here was the Design Board (background color not the actual paint color we will use) that will get her started with the transformation of the family room...




Getting a feel for the first floor?  Back to the dining room. Here is the client's rug again, and here is the wallpaper I am suggesting...

Yesterday I found the drapery fabric, a silk with great texture and the perfect tones. I was so excited I jumped up and down, I really did.  I wanted a tone-on-tone look with great texture, so that no one thing in the room pops.  What do you think?



More details on this project are coming, but now for the giveaway winner!!

  1. That wallpaper is really cool. It almost looks vintage. Must be printed with multiple blocks.

    Congratulations to kdkmac!

  2. I love your comment about the harmony on the first floor - not matching twins but holding hands and friends - perfect! And that rug is beautiful and a great jumping off point. Your rolling with your plans too. Can't wait to see more!
