YANNIQUE'S UNIQUE NEW ROOM

So its been a long while! The 9-5 was keeping me busy but I finally had a free weekend to create some magic!

Yannique's room was anything but unique.

It was a bed, a couple of dressers, clothes.....clothes.... and more clothes. The most color in this room was these orange curtains.

Organization was a foreign word......everything was on top of everything!

The doorway was just that...just a doorway.....BORING!!!


Oh and there was a t.v. and LOTS AND LOTS of wires.

This didnt even make sense! Yannique has this bubbly, colorful personality that I could only see being restrained in a bland room like this! I started with my blue painter's tape IMMEDIATELY!!

She loved purple and she loved yellow..and any other bright funky colors I could throw in there.

STEP 1:

So I decided on a purple and bright white horizontal stripe pattern for the walls. From ceiling to floor, the stripes would be sandwhiched between black horizontal stripes.

This was NO easy task. I had to first tape the enitire room for the first layer of stripes-The purple and white. I had to be extremely careful to make sure my lines were not only straight but equal distance from eachother. I had all this to do, while hopping over piles of wayyyy too much stuff!

STEP 2:

6 HOURS later, the purple and white stripes where FINALLY completed. No I had to outline those stripes with the blue tape to prepare for the black stripes, as well as the ceiling trim and the floor trim.


STEP 3:
After waiting for the paint to dry and peeling the tape I did a touch up with a fine brush for all missed spots..........

10 HOURS from start time- I finally was finished painting the room!

STEP 4:

Cleaning up and organizing EVERYTHING!

And AFTER ALL WAS SAID AND DONE......

TA DAAAAAA!

Where do I start..... With purple as the primary color in the room, I wanted a primary print as well. What better than ZEBRA! Zebra bed spread and zebra accents all over the room made a very dull room EXTRA SPICY! I used the yellow as a secondary accent color which really complimented the purple.

I thought it would be really cool if I didnt let the door interrupt the horizontal stripes. I continued them right over the dorrs in the room. On the main door I used chalk board paint to paint a....chalkboard on the back of the door for reminders, notes and anything else that could be reminded to Yannique before leaving her room.


When the closet door was closed you really had to take a double take to realize that there was even a closet door there!
I also took a wooden boring chair she had a room and covered it with some lime green, purple polka dot material to make it pop. I also finished it off with a zebra printed ribbon around the back tp tie it in to the room.

Just like yellow was used as a secondary color in the room....Polka dots was used as a secondary print. I made window curtains out of black and white polka dot material and made a yellow accent drape. 3 mirrors on each side of the window were used to lengthen the eye scope of the window.


The white tall shelf wasnt goint to cut it.......I painted the back wall and the outsides of the shelf with the chalkboard paint for fun. All of her magazines finally had a place. Rosey the fighting fish's tank was pimped out with a zebra ribbon and all of her fun ornaments and collectible Barbies were displayed.



As you make your way around the bed, you see her furniture doesnt look quite the same anymore. I painted her dressers black and added fun stickers on them for some personality. I covered her radiator with what ued to be her orange window curtain and accented it with a zebra panel of material. Her cluttered dresser had now become her entertainment top with the wires strategically hidden in the corner out of site thank heavens!

As for her purple cute dresser, I decided to leave it just that...purple and cute. I placed her large white mirror on top and transformed it into a vanity. Now her pocketbooks, make up and toiletries finally had a place to call home.

A turquoise carpet here ....a cute cute tu tu there.......And now everything had its place and there was finally a place for everything!15 HOURS later....Yannique stood in her purple shirt to coordinate with her brand new room very happy and ready to be inspired.

Ahhhhhhhhh.....another satisfied client!!!
