I love this room:
(from the home of Erinn Valencich, found via Little Green Notebook)
I love all of the neutral greys used in this room and find that the room feels very soothing. And I can’t get enough of the pops of bright pink (fuschia?). I think that pink and grey go absolutely perfectly together and set each other off nicely.(haha… my bridesmaids dresses for the wedding were a medium grey and the flowers were mainly tropical pinks… at least I’m consistent, right?)
I wish I could find a mirror similar to the one above the bed. I love sunburst mirrors since they combine a retro and a modern look so perfectly. (for a lot of sunburst mirror ideas, see here) Sadly, my googling skills render me unable to discover the exact origin of that particular mirror. But there are many such mirrors available to find. I think a mirror above the bed would be a great idea, particularly since I’m looking to bounce light around as much as possible to make the condo appear larger than it is (that sounded like one of those warnings on side mirrors on a car).
Also sadly, John Robshaw no longer makes the particular quilt shown in this room, although his current linens are also amazing. Not that I would have wanted to copy the room exactly (not sure how my husband feels about pink accents! He did wear them for our wedding, but an inquiry would be needed).
So, all in all, my love for this room brings me back to the idea of doing a very neutral room in terms of wall colour and bed linens while adding all the punches of colour through artwork, curtains and cushions. I think that this would be very relaxing without being bland.
