Here is what we did in the room.......
Leslie painted the room Rock Gray by Benjamin Moore. I sewed the curtains using premade cotton gauze panels from Ikea and then added a black and white floral cotton gauze print from JoAnn Fabrics to the sides, and some yellow stripe upholstery to the top, creating a back tab panel that self pleats on the rod.
I made the console table and skirt similar to this one, and we re-hung her mirror in a vertical orientation to give the room height. We added also added lamps to the console to complete the vignette.
This was her Grandmother's Hummel box before. I found these two small mirrors at the Goodwill and we decided to use them to flank the box to give it bigger presence in the room.
I painted the set in a Saffron yellow color and wallpapered the back of the little box for a modern, fun look.
The chandelier shades also got a little face lift. After adding all of the white fabrics to the room, they were too gold, so I recovered them in a white linen with contrast bias, following these instructions from Autumn at design dump.
We made a table centerpiece for the room using a ceramic vessel found at HomeGoods, and some artificial stems & moss from Michael's craft store. I am not usually an artificial arrangement fan, but I really like how Leslie's centerpiece turned out.
