Okay, so I tried to create my very first inspiration board. I am not sure if this is how other bloggers do it, but this is the best I could do. (Please click on the inspiration board to enlarge.)
I could not get this chair from Ballard Designs to load onto the board for the life of me. Anyway, I like this chair, but not sure what fabric. I am thinking maybe a mustard/gold/yellow fabric of some sort. I think the room needs a punch of color and I like yellow and gray together.
I realize I seem like a catalog whore, but this is what I look at all the time. I can't help myself.
I like both the white finish and weathered finish for the table, I think either would look good. I would like this particular table because it can expand to seat 12 or condense down for 4. I love the flexibility of it.
The large mirror would be on the back wall to reflect the chandy and make the room appear to keep going. I would like to keep the mirror simple and wide. I am afraid of being too "fancy".
I would love to have a piece of art above the console table. I have liked this Horchow painting for some time, the colors are vibrant and happy.
I like both sideboards and I like how sideboard2 mimics the lines in my front door. I am not sure if anyone would even notice that, but I do. I would display my white soup tureen bowls on top of the console cabinet.
I like both of these rugs. The animal print rug is much more affordable than the Thomas O'Brien rug, but of course I like the most expensive one best. If anyone knows a knock-off for the O'Brien rug please let me know. Also, do not look up the price of the O'Brien, you may have a heart attack!
I would love to hear any suggestions.
Thanks!
Amy
