Choosing paint colors: girls rooms

<span style="background-color: white; color: #c27ba0; font-size: x-large;">“The space upstairs is amazing – better than I could ever imagine. Besides the space we gained –  the colors in the rooms are the first thing people react to. It is perfect. My girls are so happy.” – my client of 6 years</span><br /><div class="p1"><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I promised to start sharing more of my design work so I am starting with some recent consultation projects. First up is a pair of girls rooms. My client decided to raise the roof on her Cape style home, and in the process she was able to add a full size bath where there was none, and the two existing bedrooms were expanded to include lots more wall space (bye bye slanted ceilings and window dormers!) plus two generous sized walk in closets (one in each room).</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Well you can imagine that any girl of any age would love this new arrangement, and these pre-teen girls were no exception. While mom had plenty of design ideas of her own, I was called in to help finalize the color choices based on bedding that each of the girls had chosen. I also offered some space planning tips and ideas for accessorizing. I’</span><span style="font-size: large;">m not going to show the entire rooms just yet, as they are still a work in progress (our last meeting involved window treatment ideas), but I really liked how the color combinations came out so here they are ...</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;

The chosen look was more shabby chic at the time, with matching white iron twin beds covered in charming floral fabric quilts for these little ones who were barely in elementary school. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I recommended a soft spring green for the walls and suggested that the original slanted ceiling be painted in the same color. This makes such a big difference in a dormered room in creating a space that looks and feels more expansive. At the time, this one little painting tip was something my client had never thought of, and she was very nervous about doing it, but then very happy to have taken my advice.

For the past few months the event sponsors worked as a team to plan a social evening that included the reveal of several homeowner submitted design challenges that were solved by the participating home design experts (<a href="http://designerbath.com/">Designer Bath,</a> <a href="http://howellcustombuild.com/">Howell Custom Building Group,</a> <a href="http://www.sueadamsinteriors.com/home.html">Sue Adams Interiors,</a> <a href="http://lucialighting.com/">Lucia Lighting and Design,</a> <a href="http://www.landryandarcari.com/">Landry and Arcari).</a> I will be posting the floor plans and design selections that were featured that evening on the<a href="http://designerbath.blogspot.com/"> Designer Bath blog</a> later this week. For event photos, visit the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DesignerBathMA">Designer Bath facebook page.</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This event was a great example of how as a group, design/build experts collaborate to create a finished space that is driven by a shared vision. Behind each “</span><span style="font-size: large;">after</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><span style="font-size: large;"> photo, there are usually many hands and minds that come together to bring to life an inspired home that suits the needs of the people who live there. From new floor plans designed by Howell Custom Building Group to designer Sue Adams selecting new fixtures, lighting and carpeting from each showroom, the team effort resulted in three homeowners receiving individual plans to improve the way they live in and enjoy their homes.  </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVS9A-kCpz29nNfLQOvHai302q7UKaQou63Xb8qZzBn-gMO54cJLJzzvGtk6ZoghmVRkp56rFDIPkB9fH5clV0vsuHuxtAzoHQAJaPJp6z5Q-KnYud-6T_KT4QOx-cMrb25BG0q26xPOWn/s1600/rosanne-katherine-yvonne@LYHevent.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVS9A-kCpz29nNfLQOvHai302q7UKaQou63Xb8qZzBn-gMO54cJLJzzvGtk6ZoghmVRkp56rFDIPkB9fH5clV0vsuHuxtAzoHQAJaPJp6z5Q-KnYud-6T_KT4QOx-cMrb25BG0q26xPOWn/s800/rosanne-katherine-yvonne@LYHevent.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>with Rosanne Palazola and Katherine Hawkins at Landry and Arcari</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am excited to announce that I, too, will be part of a special design team with a couple of my friends this spring and summer. As a group – <a href="http://triodesignshowhouse.blogspot.com/p/about-trio-design.html">Trio Design</a> to be exact – Rosanne Palazola, Katherine Hawkins and I submitted a couple of design proposals for the <a href="http://www.oldyork.org/Visit/showhousepreshow.html">Museums of Old York 24th Annual Decorator Show House</a> and we were selected to participate! </span><span style="font-size: large;">I have always enjoyed attending the York Show House and this will be the first time I will </span><span style="font-size: large;">be part of the transformation. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Rosanne, Katherine and I have been attending and participating in other shows together for years.

We each will get a chance to showcase our individual design aesthetics (I will be focusing on the bath spaces with the help of Designer Bath) but we are all working together to finalize our selections and execute our plans. Last night we got together with our husbands to make pizzas and then have a quick business meeting. I am hoping that the constructing of the rooms will be easier than the pizza making (who knew pizza dough was so finicky??) At least we had some skilled pie builders in the group, so none of us went hungry.

While I have loved working as editor and creative director of an online magazine, I realize that to keep publishing them I really would need to commit to a full time schedule with a dedicated team to achieve this goal. I had hoped to put forth a spring <a href="http://newenglandfinery.com/">Celebrations issue</a> this year, but my time is not as free as it used to be.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I realize I have been very fortunate to be able to work with many talented photographers, writers and contributors to put together six issues of New England Finery over the past couple of years – half of which were done while working full-time – and I couldn’t have done it without them, but to coordinate all of those creative contributions requires lots of time and attention.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">While I don’t have the time to focus on a 75+ page full length issue with supporting advertising, </span><span style="font-size: large;">I will, however, be happy to create mini-magazines (4 to 12 pages or so each) for individual New England based businesses who would like to increase their online presence via the <a href="http://newenglandfinery.com/Resource_Library.html">New England Finery resource library.</a> I don</span><span style="font-size: large;">’</span><span style="font-size: large;">t want to shelve New England Finery completely, and this is one way I can continue to promote local design businesses in a manageable way.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I often run into people who ask me when the next issue of New England Finery will come out, so it was not an easy decision to stop publishing them. Luckily, I do get plenty of opportunities to work with local design magazines as Marketing Director at Designer Bath, as I did with the Northshore Magazine “Love Your Home” Event, the recent <a href="http://designerbath.blogspot.com/p/passport-to-design.html">Passport to Design</a> program via Boston Home Magazine plus numerous monthly ad insertions, so I do not feel like I am missing out at all. And who knows, maybe this year my design work will be featured in one of my favorite glossies instead of just being shared on this blog. Which reminds me, I really should share more of my client decorating projects on my blog ...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next post, I promise!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><br /><br />
