Well, today is the day, finally! It's
Mood Board Monday!!!! To refresh your memories, Sarah from
Pewter & Sage was kind enough to do a guest post for me while I was on vacation and she introduced the idea that we would co-host one of her great Mood Board Monday link parties. We chose wallpaper as the inspiration and each selected a few to share. It was difficult for me to choose which one I liked best because they are all fabulous, but in the end I decided to be a little more low key in the pattern I selected....
However, I chose to use this fabulous wallpaper in a less common way, on the ceiling of my imaginary room trimmed out with beautiful mouldings and using a ceiling medallion as the base for a catchy light fixture, similar to this....
I wanted to create a dining nook with an updated traditional feel so when I found this rug, I knew combined with the wallpaper, it would do the trick for me....
I was also pretty smitten with the upholstered seat back on this banquette and thought I could replicate the look using a built in bench combined with a customizable headboard like this:
Here is what I came up with, I wish I could do this exact room in my home...too bad the colors are entirely different from everything else I have going on. Maybe that's part of what appeals to me, a total change of color story!
My
imaginary room would have a base of ebony stained hardwood floors and
creamy walls, and since I envision this being part of a large, open
kitchen/ family room area, tall windows dressed in striped panels would allow a great flow of light. Opposite the seating area would be a sideboard, perfect for serving and storing as well as additional chairs, all of it anchored by a bold piece of art.
