NYC or bust

I'm working with a new client in Manhatten.  Today I did my first "remote shop" for the darling doll.  Here's what I did...  I started at my favorite big box nationwide store.  I get to buy all of these wonderful things and they ship to their other stores for free.  So always ask.

I wanted a super cheery palette.  She was coming off of a fire engine red sofa.  We needed to tone it down.  I chose a grey as my jumping off point.  From there I layered in navy blue, baby blue, marigold and white.  Mixing my metals from gold leafed candlesticks to slick Mercury glass.  A natural element like the whitewashed pods, and orchid give a nice texture to the room.  The stone bookends elevate the style to a more chic eclectic feel.  Especially when we add a beautiful painted sisal rug, and a grass cloth Roman shades on the Manhatten Windows.

I'm loving this project!  Thanks MC!!!
