I’m Totally Against Ceiling Fans. Just Sayin’.

Sunday, July 24th, 2011

When my mom asked me to help redecorate her bedroom, she only gave me a couple of restrictions: 

  1. I had to use her current lavender wall color and drapes, and
  2. I had to use her recently inherited side tables and dresser.

And here’s the look!

bedding, headboard, rug, bench, chair, mirror, ceiling fan, pillow, side table, silver tray, lamp, vase

My mom hasn’t bought all this stuff, yet – although I think she totally should.  Hint.  Hint.  This is just a look I created for her – a reference so when she’s out shopping and she sees a perfect white lamp, or a beautiful circle mirror, she can add it to her room and know it’s going to work.

Creating a look book is easy.  Just pick a color palette, furniture, accessories, rugs, and anything and everything else you want for your room and put them together on your computer or in a folder, so when you’re out shopping, you have a guide to follow. 

And, on a side note, I am totally anti-ceiling fans.  Totally.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, gorgeous and unique light fixtures.  But my mom wouldn’t budge on that one.  She’s all, ‘It’s hot in Arizona.  I need the air to be circulated.’  Blah… blah… blah… Just sayin.’

Me:    Knock knock.

You:  Who’s there?

Me:    Orange.

You:  Orange who?

Me:    Orange you glad I discovered this amazing rug from Ballard Designs which by the way, I must  incorporate into my home, so I could write this really witty joke?
