Work in the print studio has ramped up and “inspiration board Monday” has become “inspiration board Tuesday” this week, Yikes!

I am noticing a trend here …. I am definitely very partial to yellow these days. I think Soleil definitely has something to do with this. Plus, pops of punchy colors evokes a happy feeling that I’m totally digging. Standing lamp and ornate mirror courtesy of Ikea. Glass top Sawhorse table, Parsons bookcase, yellow chair – complements of West Elm, rug and crewel curtain – Anthropologie of course.

Now that I went ahead and secured a small space (and small is a huge understatement here) I’m going ahead and mapping out the first of three inspiration boards. Given the square footage, it will probably be best to be as minimalistic as possible – though I do plan to pay hommage to my Bomehian style. The most important things is – though minute, the space needs to be multi-functioning. A windowed wall will be framed with this gorgoeus Woods wallpaper that I absolutely adore – a ruffled curtain in ivory would add just the right softening touch. An adjacent wall will be painted in a dramatic dark navy paint and will also serve as the backdrop of the multi-functioning grey toned Sloane bookcase. The bookcase is a smart choice as I can use it for display items and also as a guest desk. The yellow parsons table which I just L-O-V-E adds a really big punch and will be the focal point of the room. I decided on two richly designed Terai folding chairs to complement the Parsons’s table – the best part is that I can fold and stow them away when not in use. The floor will be draped in a shag rug that is modern yet quite homey. Accessories items will include a silver hammered desk lamp, a metal antique phone, and possibly a cork board for messages. Hmmm, the build out cost for this room is about $2294.00. I believe with some D-I-Y and a little more research the same look can be achieved for 1/3 of the cost. I think these elements work quite well together and it already feels like Petite-Fete’s new home.
