Elena’s bedroom started out as a porch/sun room. We transformed it to a much more chic area with Four-poster bed, sitting area, study desk and closet/drawer space. There are a few befores here and quite a few afters. The process of designing a space for me, starts with the mood board. I did quite a few for E’s room. It’s funny, sometimes one board wins over all the others. In this case, we took pieces from all the boards. Here they are.

The desk wall before. (There’s Ralphie the family Shih-tzu)

Drawing for Desk/closet wall.

Finished wall, which includes 2 closets, a chest of drawers, a desk area, a chalkboard, an awesome wallpaper wall, some shelving and a file cabinet. Mostly Ikea components.

Another view.

And a closeup of that amazing wallpaper Monaco from Flavor Paper.

The bed wall before.

After, with bed, chalkboard headboard and hanging lamp, plus Reoriented Flor carpet squares.

A close up. WTF pillow by Alexander Ferguson.

The sitting area is key and is where Elena does homework or reads. Here’s Raphie checking out the digs, and himself. (next to Ralphie, the tiger rug is my fav.)

 

The Jonathan Adler Brasilla side table.

The mirror wall before. (gosh that dog loves the camera;-)

The built in mirror was a very cool element in the room.

I love the distressed dresser we borrowed from another room in the house. West Elm lamp.

The letters that make Elena’s name came from different sources. Marquee lights are available at Urban Outfitters.

A really fun renovation and a great client to work with. Nothing better. Well, except for maybe these shoes.
