Vintage Mod Tween Room Before & After

Well, I thought I had hung up my blogging hat but this room was reason enough to temporarily come out of retirement. I recently had the pleasure of creating a crazy fun tween room. Momma's request was for the room to "take her well into her teen years" and her request..."turquoise, lots of turquoise!"

The fabric we used for drapes was our jumping off point. It was instant love on all accounts so we ran with it.
I am SO impressed with the lacquer paint job we had done on this amazing mid-century dresser. It's so slick and not a single imperfection in sight. I secretly want to lacquer everything now!

 The pink accessories (minus the candle) are all straight from grandma, literally! She showed up as I was tweaking things and pulled out the mirror which finished things off nicely. Momma remembers growing up with the hands (seen on top of the books) in her own home. It warms my heart to incorporate special pieces into clients' rooms. That's what it's all about!

I really wish the camera could capture this rug accurately. It has sparkles in it! I'm not even kidding. Think Christmas tree tinsel woven right into the shag. It's perfection for this glitzy, spunky girl!

Momma couldn't wait until Christmas to share this surprise, a signed Taylor Swift guitar! We originally left a blank space for it but we were all dying to see it all pulled together so "Merry early Christmas!" It was literally the first thing she ran to when the full room was revealed! I think momma knocked it out of the park. ;)

Bed in front of the window? Yep! Sometimes ya gotta do whatcha gotta do and moving the bed smack in front of the windows was exactly what this room needed. It fits perfectly in the bay area and now there's plenty of room for lounging and more storage.

A look at where we started...
Before


A big thanks to my clients for "letting this room evolve." We took our time with this space and all the pieces fell perfectly into place. Laid back attitudes and lots of trust go a long way when designing a room.

It's perfect Dana! That curtain fabric is beautiful, who's it by? I also love the striped lamp!

Yeah!! This is the room I asked to see more of when you posted a close up of that gorgeous headboard on IG. Those drapes are SO good, love your choice of big bold pattern there and on the coverlet. And the lacquer and guitar - holy moly!!! Wonderful job my friend, what a lucky client!

So glad to see you back in in the blogosphere Dana!!!!! I've missed you!
This room is so fun, love the curtain fabric and how the bed is positioned in front of the window, totally agree, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and it looks so great there surrounded by the curtains and light!

You originally left "a blank space" there - bahahaha! Wordplay will win my heart every time forever and ever. Along with those drapes. But you already knew that part...

Lianna said...

Woooow…Dana, the room looks brilliant! When I saw the “before” pics and the “after” ones, I thought…that’s definitely a different room! I love every single corner, especially the drawing with Audrey :D :D
I see that you are so interested in interior design, that’s why I would like to invite you to explore our rug world here http://www.sukhirugs.com/. Each Sukhi rug is unique. All rugs are made from natural materials by the hands of local makers from Nepal, India, Turkey and Morocco. I hope you will like them! :)

Great room! I would love to know where the striped lamp came from!

For the bathroom , personally i would advise you pick your room colour and then decide with the bathroom from there.

This change is extra! I would not think in my life that it is the same. It looks quite different ... You have talent! I hope that I will achieve this effect with my renovation. We are finishing the bedroom and we are starting the bathroom and the kitchen. I found a company ( www ) which I hope will do everything great!

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

I had a sudden onset of cold sores and a new one was appearing each day. I was on primary immunosuppressant I noticed my body just can't fight the virus on its own. After five days of treatment and no success I suspected herpes I went for test and it was confirmed. God was my strength I met a doctor for treatment. He gave me Dr Utu's contact. I contacted him immediately, This medication was far amazing that within 24-48 hours the blisters were crusting over. The swelling and redness was decreasing as well. I was on four weeks herpes medication which I completed before going for test. I went for herpes test and then again back to my doctor who confirmed me herpes negative it was really like a dream. What a relief!
