It's reveal day for The One Room Challenge!! Oh you know, just one of the funnest days in blogland if you like interior design. If you don't know about I'm talking about, here is the rundown- Linda from Calling it Home began this challenge some years ago where she invites 20 interior design bloggers to transform a room in 6 weeks and report about their progress every Wednesday and today is the 6th week in this season, aka reveal day. I have participated in the One Room Challenge a few times (as an invited participant for the family room and my closet, and as a linker for my daughter's room and the mudroom ). This time around I'm beyond excited because Christine Dovey, one of my all time favorite interior designers used one of my prints from my 'Everyday Faces' series for her project!! She used it in her playroom and I can't wait to show you what it looks like. Take a look-
Loving this feminine and bright dining room created by Living Pink, a Spanish Interior Design Firm. You may remember this design group from another post I did here. Their designs are fun and interesting and always have that feminine feel. The dining table was designed by Patricia Bustos from Living Pink and, in my opinion, it steals the show alongside the Sputnik style pendant, which is delicate and whimsical and softens the space alongside the table's pink base. You might remember that I love folding screens and I'm in love with this lucite and gold one separating the dining room from the living room. It creates privacy while not covering up any light. Brilliant. Let's see more-
My daughter now has a true walk-in closet with the cutest cherry wallpaper. You may remember my original plan for her closet here. One of the things that changed from the original plan is the mirror. My good friend Karen suggested that I use a Venetian mirror on top of her chest of drawers instead. And the more I think about it the more I love the idea. Venetian mirrors are richly designed and have plenty of etched details that would be perfect for a little girl. They are elegant, feminine, romantic and can really soften up a space.
I'm so excited to share these photos with you today. The designers behind this amazing home are my very talented friends Julie Lloyd and Clair Tompkins. They recently started Tompkins Lloyd Interiors and this is one of their latest projects, one which I had the privilege to photograph! So, of course I had to share it with you. These two ladies make quite a pair. Julie's taste is exquisite and timeless and Clair's aesthetic is edgier and more contemporary and they blend together to create chic, modern, rich and luxurious interiors. They also source the best vintage pieces around. I literally wanted every single piece of furniture in this home.

I'm so excited to share this new art find with you all today. I came across these beautiful floral photographs by Ashley Woodson Bailey on Pinterest and I just had to share. She has a fabulous collection of highly saturated photos with really amazing colors. She sells them in different sizes (the largest being 40x60), which is perfect depending on your decorating needs. I think my chartreuse colored powder bathroom could benefit from a large scale print of one of these flowers. The combination of colors, scale and composition really brings the flowers to life. The works so powerful and exciting. You have to see all of them here, but be careful you are going to want one asap!
Life is a compromise right? Life has a way of constantly reminding us that we have no control over everything. And in these situations where things don't turn out how we envision them we must compromise and make the best out of a not so ideal situation. The compromise I'm alluding to today has to do when my husband arrived home with this-
