Collaboration is something I like to do when it comes to our home. I have an idea and direction I like to go in but it always helps when someone with knowledge and expertise to build-on those thoughts you have in mind.
A perfect example is Aimee, owner of Valerianne (a local luxury linens shop in Vienna, Virginia...they are also on Facebook). I presented to her my inspiration.
Traditional Home's May 2010 magazine cover.
I was drawn to the simplicity and tailored style of this bed. Aimee, an expert on bedrooms, bedding and linens, took one look and made some incredible recommendations for our guest room that houses a full-sized bed.
Today, she personally delivered and unveiled these wonderful linens onto our guest bed. I'm ecstatic over how she brought together the tailored look I dreamed of. My only request was for a theme that represents a neoclassical design aesthetic. And she fulfilled that request.
I want to share the entire space but there remains a few tasks in need of completion.
Meanwhile, here's a glimpse of the adjoining guest bath where we took down the towel bar I was not very fond of and replaced it with a wall shelf & towel bar.
I love how this space is coming together and have a great desire to spend more time in this room myself.
My goal is to provide comfort and convenience to our guests. This is one project I am enjoying each and every moment seeing it come to fruition.
I do have a question for those who take a moment to visit A Passion for Home, and that is as a guest, what do you like to be surrounded with and available at your fingertips?
My task now is to convince my husband how important it is to hang the curtain rod now rather than later. Perhaps I need a guest to visit to motivate him?
I'm sure many of you can relate. :-)
