With two classes left before the final project is presented, I’m still making tweaks and changes to my design. I suppose it wouldn’t be so bad if I was making the claimed “tweaks”, but they happen to be substantial changes - like the entire ceiling. It’s not that big of a deal, since the ceiling changes happen to be added molding and paint, but it’s a huge deal to draw out.

I also changed the chandelier.

Hear me out on this - when I usually find something I love, I find that it’s the concept that I love, more than the actual piece. So when I’ve found my concept, I have learned to keep searching until I find the piece that’s right.

The new chandelier will be a bold statement against the creamy walls - now I just have to decide what colors I’m going to slap up on the ceiling. Right now, I’m thinking dangerously bold…

And sconces to match.

Couch fabrics (smooshed and color-warped by the scanner):

And the couch that these fabrics are supposed to cover (couldn’t get a black and white pic to look right, so you’ll just have to try and imagine this upholstered with the above fabrics):

There’s also a small, light sage colored fabric that goes as an accent pillow (the small, rectangular pillow in the front) and will also go on two accent chairs, but the fabric color doesn’t come through all that well on the scanner so I won’t post it.

The walls are a light cream color that picks up the golden tones of the couch, and will act as a nice backdrop for the sconces and chandelier.

Flooring and area rug: I chose a warm, wood floor that has a lot of the golden tones in it. It’s hard to see the little yellow additions in the scanned sample, but they are there, and beautiful.

On top, a handmade area rug from Aga John.

And more things - curtains, sheers, club chairs, a wine bar, plants, art, a fireplace that I won’t bother scanning the tile for… The drawing for this must be finished tonight. I’ll snap some pictures of the finished product and post it next week.
