This weekend Micah and I head to Chelsea and Zac’s house to refresh their living and dining space with Lowes. Packages are arriving daily, and we’re finalizing all of the little details, picking up accessories and gathering supplies. I could tell by Chelsea’s application that she was really open to something bold and not too serious, which definitely caught my attention. She’s a self-proclaimed hippie, so I had plans to tackle a style I don’t do much of myself, but really admire in others. I started pulling images…
But I soon found out that Chelsea loves Kate Spade. She may be boho in thinking, but she also longs for some glamour and a bit of sophistication: colorful sophistication. So we landed here…
Don’t think I’m totally leaving Zac out. He’s a Royals fan (hence the blue) who loves to read, so we’re going to try and create some storage for those books of his. The first image was definitely my main source of inspiration, but then I showed her this, just to test the waters and she was like “yes, yes!”
Some of you are saying “yes!” right alongside us, and some of you are probably thinking “huh?” Trust me. Within this space are all the elements Chelsea is hoping for. It’s bold, graphic, sophisticated yet playful, and the plants and natural wood elements done a bit differently will feel granola. So I’m calling Zac and Chelsea’s room Granola Glam. Sticking with Chelsea’s desire to reuse we’re repurposing quite a bit she has good taste and already owns some great things but also bringing in new pieces that will really shine in the space and pull in that glam factor.
The Craig’s have lived in their house for two years now and to say this will be a dramatic transformation in the time frame would be an understatement. The beige walls and popcorn ceilings are going away, and in their place will hopefully be a space that their little family loves to spend time in and is proud to share with guests. I’ll save their story for the reveal, but I’m so honored to help give them a place they’ll love to live life in.
I’ll be sure to show behind-the-scenes over on snapchat and Instagram (@themakerista) this weekend, so head there to follow along!
