I mentioned earlier that we moved into a new house. And I am loving decorating it. Not so much loving having to find a place for everything, but it is coming together slowly. We live in this new house with a roommate, Allison. Or, as Ellie likes to call her, Assesor. Assesor wanted some inspiration for her new big girl (as in college graduate) room, which she is basing off this
Cherry Blossom Duvet from Pottery Barn. She has also purchased this
Avington Headboard from Target, which I didn't include in the moodboards but did keep in mind while creating them.
The first idea I came up with is a little more bold and sophisticated, and incorporates several design elements she has already decided upon.
I like the idea of introducing some less girly, more classic colors to the room to compensate for the very soft and sweet bedding. I think pops of romantic red, like in the clock and sheets would be a nice touch. I chose the brass lamp and bedside table to bring back a little feminity, and because I think the gold undertones would be fantastic next to that bedding. An ink blue chair and some accent pillows would look smart and strong, and would pick up the darker tones of the bedding quite nicely. Because the bedding and furniture have so much color going on, I would stick to a gallery wall of black-and-white photography to keep things from getting too crazy. I would get some of the pictures from artists I like on Etsy, but I would also frame up pictures of family and friends.

I think it would be a fun bedroom for a big girl. Don't you?
Check back on Thursday for another moodboard designed around this duvet!
