Gray + Yellow + Teal

14 August 2011 6:22 PM
A few weeks ago I posted about a new design book that I found called The Meghan Method. It is a helpful guide to walk you through each step of the interior design process.

After reading through the Meghan Method I decided to makeover the room in my house that needs the most help, the guest bedroom. After our move it basically became a dumping ground storage room for boxes, candles, vases and other pieces that haven't found their home yet. Does anyone else have a room like that?! :)

I have gone through the most of the steps that Meghan outlines in her book and wanted to share what I have so far! I won't bore you with all the details, but here is how I started. I came up with my aspirations for our guest bedroom and then found a muse to use as my inspiration. 



My muse is this fabulous Anthropologie maxi dress.  I was immediately drawn to the beautiful colors and subtle pattern. I also love the comfortable style and almost vintage look to this dress.  After selecting my muse I started identifying some of the pieces that I would like to have in our guest room, based on the aspirations that I outlined above.  I did add a minty teal to the room's color scheme because it adds a fun pop of color.



What do you think?! I am so excited to start working on the layout of the guest bedroom and repurposing some of the pieces that are already there. I will be sure to share how the makeover goes!

    The palette is gorgeous, Meggan. How you got all of that from looking at a dress is incredible!

    I love some of those pieces. I even clicked the link to the alarm clock.....would have bought it, but it was sold. To you?

    I can't wait to see what you do. I have a lot to learn.
