I know it has been a long time since I posted here but this is an experience I wanted to have record of because in my life I hope this is the beginning of many to come. I began working on Sasha's room almost a year ago... it began with just a want for a new space from her and some inspiration I had from knowing what she wanted. After many plans and different ideas this is the finale outcome. I've known I wanted to be an interior designer for a few years now but this was one of the first times that I realized that I did have a talent and an eye for design. Its not perfect, but its a start and I am proud of what the end result is. All links to furnishings are at the bottom of the post. No room design story would be complete without some before pics so here are those. It becomes very obvious from the before pics that Sash was in need of a space of relaxation and much less clutter. Here is the transformation! The two things Sasha wanted a lot of were colour and photographs! So I tried to make this happen in a variety of ways, though I didn't want the room to look cluttered or overwhelming. I loved this solution... I bought these photo ledges from Ikea, and then instead of using frames I cut down two pieces of wood and used push pins to turn those into "frames". We also painted the sides of each piece of wood to inject some extra colour when looking from different angles. I also love the wool pompom garland I added. A great way to update a plain dresser is to change the knobs and inject some fun that way. I used knobs from both Anthropologie and ZaraHome. I made the smile sign out of a pre cut piece of wood from Home Depot and then I used nails to create the letter outlines and string to pull it all together. Its quite a simple DIY project but really added a fun touch to the room. I also made this blanket ladder myself. I looked online for a long time to find one I liked but really could not that was at an affordable price point. So I made this one! I love the painted top rung on the ladder and the relaxed look of it. Two of the pieces to the room I knew I wanted right from the beginning were the wallpaper and the wrap around frames. This wallpaper was an inexpensive find compared to others that we also loved. The bed is pushed into the corner rather then being centred on the wall because of space issues, so I knew that we would need a way to make this look more intentional. The wrap around frames did this beautifully. So there it is!! I am so happy with the outcome and I know that Sasha and her family are happy with how it all came together! So excited to see what else comes in the future! If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask in the comments below. XO
