{ Design Boards ~ From Start To Finish }


Wondering what my Design Boards are all about?
Recently I designed this board for Lily
(a 10 year old girl)
Lily
The design board can give you all the ideas and items you'll need to turn a room in your
home in to the room you've be dreaming of, but never knew where to start.
I send you a image of the room that will be the starting off point to get your creative juices flowing.
I'll also send you a list of suggested items to purchase to complete this room, along with paint colors, 
fabric choices, and window treatment ideas.
You can use my list and put the room together yourself, or, if your local (in and around Philadelphia, PA)
I can help you in person.

When we started the room looked like this


and now looks like this


Much better for a pre-tween little girl, right?
We used a lot of the original elements in the design board,
and tweeked it along the way as necessary.


I found this great lamp at 
Homegoods, and embellished a little for a custom look.
(more on that later)


Lily has this great stone porch attached to her room.
It was recently enclosed with windows and it is fabulous.
I would love to have a room like this attached to my bedroom.
(it's not finished, so I won't be showing you it just yet,
so use your imagination)



We hung a woven wood roman shade with a blackout liner on her window.
It works really well with her headboard.


Lily's vanity was purchased by her parents years ago when they were on their honeymoon.


A carpenter installed a column of shelves and 2 hanging bars for Lily.
There is so much storage in that little space, that not much furniture was needed in the room itself.


We found a chalkboard decal online and applied it to the back of Lily's door.


Yes, she's a little bit country and a little bit rock & roll.
They are her guitars over on the corner. They work perfectly in this space!


The hanging panel on the terrace door is a ruffly little number from Anthropologie.


The area rug is a little bit granny's attic from Dash & Albert.
It was one of the first purchases for this room and really got the ball rollin'.



It's a lovely, unique room, and I hope Lily loves it for years to come.
