I’m currently working with a couple of nearly-newlyweds, and thought I would give you a sneak peak of what we’re doing. Meet Brooke and Cameron.
They’re anxiously awaiting their wedding day in November. In the meantime, Brooke and I are on a mission to convert Cameron’s bachelor pad (an adorable house) into a home suitable for both the bride and groom. In the den, we started with several pieces of inherited furniture and not much else. But, I have a plan. And, it looks something like this:
Brooke already had her eye on the IKEA Ektorp sofa and wanted to work with the existing paint color. She’s a fan of soft neutrals and soothing blues. Since she didn’t want to paint the whole room, I suggested instead painting the wall around/above the fireplace a darker tan to give the room a focal point.
I also found this mirrored top coffee table (for $55!) that’s going to look fantastic on this rug, one of my favorites from Ballard Designs.
Stay tuned. The wedding is quickly approaching and we’re working like busy bees on this and several other rooms in her house that I can’t wait to share with you.

Great find on the table. It’s always interesting to see two styles come together. Looking forward to seeing the finished rooms (and maybe some wedding snaps).
I know Brooke and Cameron! How funny!! She was just telling me the other night how she was working on getting his “epitome of a bachelor pad” converted!! I had no idea you were working on it!
