This client has a fun and eclectic sense of style. Everything she does turns out fabulous. The space we are working with encompasses many design styles yet remains very balanced. The room itself is very charming and traditional, but with a vintage twist. The furniture is a mix of clean lined bookshelves and tiered iron side tables. Although each element has its own personality, they all speak to one another beautifully.
inspiration piece - we didn't want to copy, but we like the overall feel of this:
This is the rug that the client owns, followed by a fabulous lamp (from Scotts) that is part of a pair for the same room. These two served as a guide for our color palette.

after!
To achieve this look, I prepped and then painted the entire piece solid brown. Since rustic was the goal, I used a brush rather than a roller. This left strokes and added texture. Then I followed that with dry brush strokes of a natural color on the base. To finish, I went back and added touches of blue-gray to tie it in with the rug.
These simple brush strokes altered the look of this piece entirely. It has nice storage and a large surface area for display and practical use.
She loved it and it could not have coordinated better with the pieces she already owns. Thanks for looking! Happy Monday :)
