A Favorite Thing and Decorating a Teenage Room

Isabel's room has been gradually coming together. The color on the walls went from Benjamin Moore's Cotton Candy to Behr's Premium Ultra Plus in Harmonious - a calming medium blue which was a joint decision after we tried three swatches in similar toned blues on the wall. 

We thought this color together with orange tones would be a perfect color palette for a (then) soon-to-be teen. Relaxing yet fun and modern.

After searching for some months I came upon the Eva Rug from Ballard Designs. With the warmth of a wool rug but actually made of polypropylene this rug is easily maintained and stain resistant and perfect for such a room. I loved the damask pattern and color online and ordered a sample before ordering the item itself in a 5' x 8.' It is so soft underfoot and we love it in the room. It has a vibrant color with a few streaks of red in it.

It fast became a favorite thing and I am so happy I bought it. She will grow with this rug and it can subsequently be used in any number of spaces; it is so versatile because of its pattern and coloration. It adds a perfect pop of color.

 

Can you catch some of the red in it?

I also ordered curtains from Saffron Marigold in Morning Dew for the room.

These look amazing; another favorite item. Do you like the choices so far? I will share pictures with you soon so stay tuned.

One of My Favorite Things from The Container Store

One of my absolute favorite things is the Flat Bungee Office Chair from The Container Store. As I watch my middle-schooler spend hours preparing for final exams this week I appreciate the total ergonomic quality of this product and I feel good that I found the right chair.  

Here it is by Isabel's desk.

This chair is stylish, modern and sleek. The bungee cords are ever so comfortable. On the whole it is strong yet lightweight. It took me a while to find something appropriate for my kids and by chance I came across this chair. I purchased the ones in black as I really wanted a neutral for the white desk-and-hutch setups in their rooms.

I purchased these at the store, carried them into the house and promptly assembled each one easily. The girls were so excited and absolutely love the feel of these and the fact that they have wheels and a pneumatic lift system so the height is adjustable. I prefer the idea of a desk-chair with wheels as it is easy to manipulate in the space.  

Here is the Flat Bungee Office Chair with Arms

So there it is, one of my favorite things from The Container Store. I think this design would be perfect for small spaces.
