Weekend Recap: Orange & Pink!
This weekend I got to go do a partial install at my favorite client’s home. You see a couple of months ago I had a meeting with an almost 10 yr old little lady. Turns out all she wanted for her 10th birthday was to get a new room. So I was brought in and we had a design consult and discussed her likes/dislikes and over all design styles.
Here is what her room looked like when I first arrived:
There was a little too much pink, flowers and country style furniture for my little client’s current needs.
We are still waiting on a couple of things to arrive, but here is what we ended up with on Saturday:
I love all of the hand painted pieces that my client has in her room:
We decided on a new color palette of orange/white/bright pink. When I first met with my client she actually wanted a white lacquered walls! My kind of girl. We couldn’t get the okay on that, but we did have the walls painted an almost white shade and then had a bit of fun with an orange stripe. Paper lanterns were also high on her list so I had to make sure I had those on hand this weekend.
We switched out most of the furniture in the room, but the desk had to stay so it got a little face lift and a stylish new chair.
Yes, totally jealous that my little client has a ghost chair and I don’t.
We also needed a little hang out nook so we went a bit retro and did a bean bag chair and a modern pod side table. The paper lanterns are floating over the chair.
A big plus to the new room design was going from a twin bed to a full sized bed. You can’t imagine how excited she was about that. We are still waiting on the mattress, but here is a little peak:
Custom artwork is also a must have so I went with a budget friendly option and picked up this print by Jen at Made by Girl.
Don’t worry it’s going to get hung over this piece once it arrives.
The traditional window valances also needed to disappear. We wanted to keep things chic and simple so we did this instead:
It was a really easy DIY project that I’m going to blog about tomorrow.
A couple of pieces are still missing, but the over all look has now taken over the room and we had a very happy client on our hands as we were leaving.
How was your weekend?

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
This small glimpse looks great, the colors are fabulous! Looking forward to seeing the rest! Janell
Such a fun color palette. I attended a wedding once with the same color scheme and I think it was my favorite ever. The combination of hot pink and orange is so cheerful, perfect for a preteen girl.
It looks so fun, yet sophisticated. Perfect for a 10 year old and for years to come. I love the updated desk! Plus the dresser and ghost chair are divine.
Adorable!!! What a fun client…can’t wait to see the finished project!

Looks amazing!! Cannot wait to see the entire room completely transformed.
So sweet- I love the colour palate and that valance is just too perfect for words. Can’t wait to see it all finished!!
What a lovely girl’s room! She must be thrilled! I love the color choices. The desk is so fun. Can’t wait to see the step by step. Thanks for sharing.
Can’t wait for your blog about the DIY window valance. I have the fabric for one that I have been meaning to make for MONTHS, perhaps your tutorial will give me some tips to finally get it done. Cute room!
Absolutely in love with this room! The colors are to die for. I cannot resist orange!
What a lucky girl! The details look amazing and can’t wait to see the entire room.
Camila- This room is looking great, what a change! Can’t wait to see the final photos!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

I am going to love this room so much…I can already tell!! I love a good orange stripe on clean white walls (did the same in my son’s room!). And yay for the valance tutorial tomorrow…I’m still undecided on the pelmet for my daughter’s window!!!
How lovely! Such a modern and vibrant color combo! xo
Loving that very groovy beanbag chair.
Ahhh! I love! Can’t wait for the tutorial!!
Looking fabulous!! I have a similar aged Julia as well whose room is soon getting a redo – her current room has a similar feel to the one you showed. She also wants brighter colors and picked out the PB clear desk chair (no budget for a ghost chair here). So I’ll be very curious to see more about this project!
This room transformation is done so well, not too over the top but yet fun, I love how it is coming along. I just bought 4 of those ghost chairs from Hautelook, of course they aren’t the real thing but they look the same to me. Can’t wait to see the whole room
The desk and chair are amazing- so chic for a kid’s space! Love the colors. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
LOVE! So jealous of the ghost chair too!
Amazing. Love the colors… great job on the desk! Can’t wait to see the finished product.

I love this!! What a lucky little girl. The orange stripe is fantastic; I can’t wait to see it from further back. I also love the valance and am waiting eagerly for the DIY instructions. Great job!!
It looks fantastic! I can’t wait to see the rest. Great job, Camila!
I am excited to see the valence tutorial as I am looking to do a version for a bedroom.
And I love the paper laterns — the eyelet one is adorable!
Ooh! I love it! Very sophisticated for a little girl. You can tell she has style. 🙂

What a lucky little girl! I love the colors.
The desk revamp is divine!
Did you spray paint both the drawers & handles? The tone on tone drawer pulls are quite sophisticated. I need to try that!
Stacy
So cute! Love that it will age with her until she leaves for college! And I’m totally jealous that she gets a ghost chair! Haha.
This is really really fun. I cannot wait to see more.

Love the colors! Can’t wait to see the rest!
love it! you have to tell us where you found the fabulous white eyelet latern!!
The eyelet lanterns were actually a find from Christmas Tree Shoppes and over a year old. I had them in my stash of decor items. They were Martha Stewart and a set of 3 was $3. Not sure if they are available anymore, but I found these that look really similar:http://www.lunabazaar.com/paper-lanterns-eyelet.aspx
How fun is that? She’s 10 and has a cooler room than me! Love the graphic name print.
Looks great! Really fun colors.
