Guys! It’s time for a One Room Challenge update!! Today we’re talking inspo, and having a come to Jesus about tastes. You can check out ORC Week #1 here to find out more about the space I’m overhauling!
What do a 50 year old painting, a Sherwin-Williams paint deck, and grandma chic all have in common? (And by paint deck, I mean the actual deck, not the colors inside it…)
They are the inspo for this nursery makeover!!
Fun fact, I rarely get on Pinterest. Weird right? In my line of work you would think that I’d seek after any bit of “inspiration” I could find. But in reality the opposite happens. When I go to Pinterest seeking ideas I leave totally discouraged feeling like all the good ideas in the world are already taken. That I’ll never create anything awesome again, and that everyone else in the world is much much cooler than I am. (Totally true btw, I’m not what you’d consider a cool person.)
I feel the most creative when I’m inspired by some rando object that sends the design dominos tumbling. My best projects start with “What if?!” not “I saw”. So staying unplugged is pretty important.
My initial direction for this room was to pull warm deserty colors. Deep dusty orange (like we used in this living room!) and a soft blush, but then my sister send me this picture that my Great Grandma had painted and I knew we needed to take it in a different direction.
