My Associate Designer Belle and my Personal Assistant Alexandra recently became roomies when they moved in together into a two bedroom apartment. Today I visited it for the first time and I was inspired to do a design for them.
I was inspired by their personalities; both girls are bubbly and happy, both are sophisticated. Belle leans toward modern design and Alex toward something more traditional and romantic.
I start with paint color… what could be more appropriate than pink for happy, bubbly girls? Nothing.
