With all that has been going on, (packing, moving, more packing, more moving, packing, editing, hauling, packing, painting, cleaning, unpacking, sorting, merchandising...and so on, and so on), I've been lax in reporting what has been happening with my designer room for the Princeton Jr. League Designer House. Ugh.
It's been on my list of things to do, but it's been pushed to the bottom of the list night after night!
That being said, I have some glorious photos of the before when I can locate the camera chip that holds the information...for now, here is an in-progress report that I think you'll find interesting.
Often, in designer houses across the nation, there emerges a theme of color...unbeknown st to the designers collectively, trends set the stage and many rooms begin to follow a pattern. In a quick preview of many of the other spaces, this is what I found...
Grey living room...
Warm stone foyer...
Grey-ish upper hallway...
Another grey hallway...
Charcoal/taupe master bedroom walk-through...
And these are just a few of the rooms I perused...who knows where else this trend color (stone) will show up.And then...ta da!! My room, yes in glorious Yam!
Here is a fabulous vintage bookcase/desk that I picked up and painted SW Warm Stone as an accent to my Yam...way cool!
I'm happy to report that amidst the room after room of grey/taupe, grey/charcoal, grey/grey, and even more grey, my pop of orange shines! Yam sets the stage for natural linens, velvets, and creamy contrasts. I think it's going to make for a memorable room.
Lastly, I just couldn't resist reminding you what color my room was in last year's Buck's County Designer House...SW Warm Stone. I do believe that Black-eyed Susan sets the trend.
More to follow in the coming days, as we near completion of our room, I promise!

Will you be painting over those hideous murals? Please? Consider it an act of charity.
I agree that BE Susan tends to set trends.
Love your pop of orange! And I am totally coveting that bookcase...
Just to explain...I painted the door and frame the Yam color because I wanted it to disappear! That probably wasn't the best angle of the room to take without explanation.
Our room was slightly smaller than we would have "in real life"! I love the expression "the suspension of disbelief" as explained to me by Juliana, new staff designer with my firm. I think I'll latch onto that theory really well!
Come see the room for total inspiration.
I always knew you were a trendsetter! Can't wait to see the before and after pics.
No one is surprised that you set the trend, especially in color! Is Yam what I have in my studio as well?
Your room is genius of course! I love the bookcase/desk and have never seen anything like it before, wow!
Love it! You definitely set the trend wherever you go. (Including Denver!)
