Pretty Tween Bedroom

I wish I could post a picture of my attempt to duplicate this room… It turned out FANTASTIC.

My favorite part is the bench cushion in front of the window. I chose a Sunbrella fabric in a white and grey pattern to compliment the rug. I had a custom cushion made for me by http://www.patiolane.com and it turned out great. The only thing I dont love is the pink utility cart that I got but other than that, it came out great.

Hi I’m doing this in my daughters room and I was wondering if you remember what the rug was called looking for that exact one and the bench. Thanks

Amber says:

Here is her full description of her design. She shares all companies for each product used, except for letters and the actual coral color used for the letters, mirror and side table.

Hi Amy,
Per your message to me, I actually didn’t replace the blinds in my daughter’s room. She had brand new white wooden blinds and I couldn’t bear the thought of another expense, so I skipped it and left her white blinds. As far as the gray? I think it is less gray and more lightest lavender possible. The lavender may have a tiny gray tint, but it definitely is more lavender. But, be careful … lavender can become purple really fast! When you look at the paint swatch of the lavender when you go to pick out the paint it is likely the one you think is too light. The same goes for the light blue ceiling, if you choose to do the ceiling. Both the wall and the ceilings were super light … almost an ice blue and ice lavender. The coral is a true coral as well as the teal. Both the coral and the teal are pretty true to the picture. Those two colors are pretty easy to find. Pottery Barn seems to have bedding with that teal color in a variety of different options. Also, Overstock.com has bedding with that teal too. Hope that helps! p.s. I just noticed under the Designer’s “Project Details” above she references where some of the items came from: the roman shade came from Tonic Living! Good luck. ~ Sophia

Hi!
To everyone wanting the paint color, including myself, I don’t believe the author is going to respond to our paint color requests. This article on the room is very old.

I ended up duplicating this room myself and found everything on my own. Some of the items I got the closest to the picture as I could and some of the items are identical. My daughter was beyond thrilled and I have to say, I think some of my items were better quality than the ones in the picture. The paint color is so beautiful and serene.

As far as the paint color, I went to Home Depot to the paint swatches. Sadly, I threw away the lids which had the exact shade so please forgive me. But, here’s what I did. I selected Glidden for the ceiling and the walls. The paint swatches were under the blues and lavenders. I selected the lightest shades for both — so light they are almost a few shades from white. Be careful and error on the lighter side. Get a sample size if you’re nervous and try it out. Also, remember the lighting of the room. My daughter’s room has two huge windows that face West. In different light, the walls take on a darker hue. But, the paint is so light.

Here’s what I purchased for the other items in the room and where I found them, if you’re interested:

Desk: white parson style from World Market, I topped it with glass for protection.
Desk Chair: Pottery Barn, swivel desk chair, covered in fur.
Hanging Light: Ikea
Bedding: All from Pottery Barn — I duplicated the author’s picture, Pottery Barn has a lot to choose from which are similar and the quality is better than most.
Rug: West Elm. The rug at West Elm was a fortune — $400+. I found a near duplicate at Overstock.com
Bench: The bench we decided not to use because with my daughter’s other furniture, it was just too much for the space. I saw the bench a million places online though. One place for the bench I remember was Overstock.com.

Anyway, hope this helps someone out there. I didn’t have anything to go on for the paint color and I did it on my own. You can too! Good luck. I wish I could post a pic … if I knew how, I would. =)
