Open House: Julie W.

I can’t tell you how much I’m loving this new series. It’s so much fun to see what all of you are doing in your homes. I love that many of your designs/diy projects are inspired by blogs! It’s fun to see bloggers suggestions come to life.

 

Today we are going to be taking a peek into reader, Julie W’s house.

 

First off is her basement bedroom. She recently tackled this project so that Mom and Dad would have a place a crash. I think she needs to tell Mom & Dad to move over, because I want to visit!

 

Julie went with the popular grey/yellow combo and I must say she hit it out of the part.

Julie used existing items that she had around the house to piece this room together.

 

Take a peek at the other side of the room:

 

Highlights of the room:

-Lamps painted in yellow!

-Caning fabric for headboard and toss pillows. Similar fabric available here.

-Artwork! Prints where from this book and frames from Walmart.

 

* I use Canopy frames from Walmart in most of my projects. When you order them online you get a special price on packs of 4 and they come with matting and in normal sizes unlike IKEA. I love them.

 

Moving along upstairs Julie gave us another peek into an additional guest room. I suppose I could stay here if Mom & Dad are visiting at the same time. :)

 

In this room we have another take on grey & yellow, but with the additional of blue as an accent instead of black.

Highlights of the room:

- Chic & Inexpensive artwork. Julie had seen the exact artwork at Zgallerie for $60. Always one to look for a budget option she found them at Art.com and purchased prints for 12.99 each. Then she used some Ribba frames from IKEA and made her own version for much less.

 

-Julie’s bedding is the ever popular pin tuck from West Elm. I found a great look for less last week at Century 21. They had it white and cream. F/Q size for a duvet cover and two shams was $69.99.

 

Lastly Julie invited us in to take a peek at her little girls room:

 

 

What a lucky girl  she gets to have two lucite chairs!

Highlights:

 

-She made the headbord from a kit available at Foam For You (source found by Janell)

 

-Barbie Calendar was used for the chic artwork, which I’m loving!

 

-Cornice made from Jenny’s tutorial at LGN.

 

-Also totally in love with the geometric fabric on the toss pillows and benches.

 

Pure love for this room!
