A Girl's Room in Armonk

I've been working for a while on a house upstate and it's finally coming together, so I will start posting a few pics here and there. As you may know, I like working very loosely and do a lot of sketches, but most of the time, the concept sketch is pretty close to the finished product. Below is the sketch of the room for a stylish young lady under 10 years of age. The program was to give her a room which she would enjoy now, but also grow into.

The layout of the room was unusual as there were windows and doors on almost every wall and the one wall that was clear had a jog, so we decided to do an old fashioned bed alcove with a modern twist. It's basically her first studio apt.

The  finished room is pretty close to the concept drawing. My young client and I did a day's worth of fabric shopping at the D&D building, luckily she's a fashionista and liked some pretty cool things. Although pink was the color of choice, we painted the walls the softest shade possible, just in case the color palette changes in the future. The Directoire daybed was a find from my pickers. The pair of 1960's French tub chairs which we painted glossy off white and upholstered in crushed velvet were originally intended for another client, but found their way here.

Shag rugs in flower cutouts define the furniture placement.
