A glimpse into my interior design addiction

As I previously stated, I am going to periodically posting my interior design projects because it is an extreme passion of mine. A few months ago, I moved into a downtown GR loft with my college roommate, Audrey. Let me just say, living with someone you previously lived with, harmoniously, is amazing! She has given me complete creative liberty with our interior decor, so here it goes!

Audrey Lou!

Any who, here are a couple of projects I have proudly accomplished so far. 

With as high as our ceilings are, I was able to fit this enormous framed photograph above our cabinets. It really draws the eye up toward the ceiling. Also with it being such a large space, I layered multiple pieces with different colors and patterns to give it some depth. I love that mine and Audrey's things coordinated so well!

With my Dad's help, we successfully built this headboard out of reclaimed barn wood we had laying around our property. I am absolutely in love with the contrast between it and my white bedding. I also purchased the Ralph Lauren throw pillows from Marshalls, and they add to the layered complexity! (this photo is from my old apartment,  but i loved the shot)

Here is the headboard in my new apartment, Even with the large scale of the headboard, the high ceilings make it look much smaller. I wanted to carry through the theme of rough sophistication, so I decided to cover multiple canvases in burlap and other patterns to fill in the blank space on my massive walls. 

I mixed patterns, shapes and sizes here and I am very happy with the end result. Obviously I ironed out the wrinkles in the burlap later. I just took the fabric and cut it to size, and attached it to the back of the wooden frame with a nail gun. Surprisingly, Murphy didn't even flinch at the loud, consistent pops of the nail gun. He's a stud.  

I absolutely love mason jars! So with the limited storage in our loft, I found this shelf (1 of 3 peices) and the matching coat rack to hang underneath. It makes for easy access to items we use everyday. Our loft is a handicapped unit so under the sink is open without a cabinet, so in an effort to keep things organized, I am coming up with creative ways to store things out in the open. 

Thanks for stopping by and there will be much more to come, so stay tuned!
