decorating I’m bored, can we redecorate my room? con’t... I love this time to catch up on overdue projects and tidying my space before the fall market starts up again. This is a great time that I can spend with my redesign clients and help get their spaces looking great. Back in March I had a particular client that was about 11 years old (my daughter) who wanted her room redecorated. We worked on creating a more dramatic “tween” room as described back in the March issue of The Bulletin. As many of you may know already, the prep for a redecorating project is a big part. Luckily this time we had extra help with a vested interest in getting this project started. The wallpaper was the biggest hurdle that we encountered. Scoring, spraying and stripping the paper off was time consuming, but well worth the work. While dad was sanding and priming the walls we decided to head out and choose fabric for the draperies. We spent endless hours looking through fabric books with Kathy - some were too plain, too busy, too bumpy and even too smooth. My daughter finally picked a chartreuse green fabric with a geometric circle pattern that is sought after in many designs these days.

The next step was to find twin bedding that worked with the curtains. We shopped till we dropped and finally found a branch like pattern with an off white background. This bedding complimented the room because it kept the space light and airy. The flooring was an easy pick because we continued the flooring from the hallway into the bedroom with a maple hardwood. To pull it all together we chose a complimentary shade of purple (Benjamin Moore lavender lipstick #2072-50) which completed the room’s updated look. We visually connected the space with a shaggy carpet and comfort under foot. Accessories included shiny chrome finishes in the lamps and pops of green painted on the cork board and a small cabinet anchored the chartreuse green curtains. “This room is cozy, warm and fun to be in. I love having my friends over to hang and relax. The fact that I got to pick most of my stuff for my room really allowed me to show my mom what I liked, what style fits me and what I am all about.” Drapery – Kathy @ MK Designs, Newmarket Flooring – Janet @ Rowan Flooring, Newmarket Paint – Janet @ The Corner Décor and More, Mount Albert Susan Crema-Martin is a Certified Canadian Staging Professional - CCSP Mentor, and President, York Region - Real Estate Staging Assoc. - RESA.
