room update: 10-year-old client

i sent mom this image via email

mom replied

Not sure that I like it.
From the photo, it looks like the shades of pink are clashing rather than complimenting.

Have you covered the lamp shades yet? I’m not sure I’m going to like that.

And, the border on the curtains? I’m not sure I like that deeper pink/purple for that – it’s clashing with the bedspread color that she chose.

uh oh...lol. nah i wasnt worried. i said

Design is almost like testing a recipe. You wouldnt test it before it's done. I am sure the end result will be amazing!

then i brought these over,
and she was all smiley and happy and stuff. LOL.
i chose these lamps and was going to redo the shades, but during the install, they just didnt work.
so i pulled this base and shade out of my lamp stash, to replace them with the other ones. the shade really highlights the modern design of the pillow. details my friend. its all in the details.
mom and daughter wanted a chandelier. i chose this one. it was so awesome to know that they actually looked at this chandelier a few months ago. look at that nice cotton candy colored pink wall...ummmm

well this is where i left them hanging on saturday. we have one more install day to bring everything together.

Loos great! It was funny reading the first comments. But I like your analysis of the recipe. People always want to judge the ingredients before tasting the dish. Same as cooking. Many times I don't even tell my kids what's in the recipe when serving a new dish. They'd never eat it if I did! lol

That is too funny as I am going through the same thing. I have a teenage client and when I showed her things she said the same. Mom and I ordered the fabric anyway and she will like it when we are done- we just know. Hard to show them your vision for a space and they can't see it when you show them bits.

Hmm...Im not real sure what the name is. I bought it from Hancock Fabrics off the remnant table. I had it for a while and knew this room would be the best place for it.
