Gabby's Grown Up Room!

The years at home before college are fun....cutesy colored rooms, butterflies, hearts and all things sweet.


BUT-What do you make of the space that doesn't define your post college years???


Gabby's room was pink with green trim (cute...i guess), however she was looking for a more mature space to inspire the remainder of her stay at home.

CRYSTAL STARR to the rescue!!! ; )

I came up with it as I went! I love to sneak hidden details in all my walls.....

CAN YOU FIND IT! (look at the finished wall pic...)

Color at my own will! Where ever it looked best for the next color to go! Good music and good comapany make for good inspiration.

Gabby was a big help!

Gabby painted the wall camel next to what USED to be the closet. I finished up the black trim.

First-The pink and green needed to be modified. Still keeping those colors in the back of my mind.....I painted the walls camel tan and accented them with a black trim. -Oh so sophisticated!

I then gutted out the closet, took the doors off the hinges and custom made a desk for her office purposes. Painted it lime green to jump past the camel walls and black trim (and keeping the green in the color scheme.) Hung a pearl chandelier and it turned into a fabulous work space.

I always try to add the most personal touches where ever I can and fortunately I was able to add a big one in this room. A custom designed pink, black, grey, green, and brown wall was the plan. 7 Hours later...it was a reality!

As for her 100+ shoe collection- I installed 6 floating shelves to the wall and decoratively displayed ALL of them!

Gabby also happened to have an extensive bag collection. I decided to make a work of art out of those too! Staggered hooks on a wall and 25 pocket books later, we had a wall of art!

Add some candles, pillows, a picture here and and there and we have a Perfectly Grown UP Room!

From Start.....To Starr!
