Bari, the client’s youngest daughter, has always been very creative so her mother and I wanted to work with her to create a space where she could fully and unapologetically be herself! Everything was removed from the space including the carpet tiles and the walls were painted white. She wanted a clean industrial-style space so we had a whole wall dedicated to sketches and doodles (the wall is white chalk paint). We also had a custom life-size pegboard custom made with adjustable peg shelves for her ever-changing needs. The 86x46 drafting table with a zink top and swivel stools was custom-made by a carpenter in Georgia. Personal touches were a must so pieces of Bari's art were framed in white for inspiration. The 1950's easel was found by her mother on Etsy and the tv logos were hand-painted by a local artist for her “chill zone”.
This project was for my youngest client to date! At 11 years old, the daughter and I worked one on one to create the dramatic bedroom of her dreams. The custom rug and Designers Guild fabric were the inspirations for the space. The lacquered ceiling and lighting helped to add a layer of sophistication and whimsy.
Her once lilac juvenile room is now a direct reflection of her vibrant personality!
