I like the heavy use of color and pattern on this one. A difficult look to pull off. But I would go with a dark brown or black sofa and accessories to help ground the space.

I know Eileen Joyce's sketch isn't as revealing as Eddie Ross' as far as what the final 3D area will look like, but so far I like hers better. But my opinion could change. The actual could end up looking very different.

I like the fact that both Eileen and Maxwell's windows tell us a story about the imaginary 'person' who lives in the room. I don't see that in Eddie's room... it is beautiful, but to me resembles a sterile catalog shot.

I hope you'll be sharing 'after' photos of all three windows!

i agree with comicgeek; i didn't even notice a sofa until i looked for one.

Way too many patterns in that room...no peacefulness. It is an easy surmise as to why the cocktail set-up is so handy, but one would think an urbane traveler would want a bit of decorative serenity in the midst of a busy schedule. The calmest thing in the room is the dark blue sofa on which I would curl up and close my eyes tightly to shut out the cacaphony of the stripes and circles and diamonds running amok on walls and floor.

Love the theatricality of it. Love the Parrish Hadley vibe. Love the marker rendering. Game on!

Not sure why the overload on updating Eddie's sketches, though.

Find it very amusing the strong opinions to VERY loose renderings (all three).

I think it's very cool to see each sketch, but to pass sweeping and definitive judgment upon them at this stage of the game is really a bit premature.

But it underscores the challenge interior designers always have... conveying a finished room to a client whose visualization skills might not be quite fully developed.

Plus, by the time the Bloomingdale's visual team finishes installing each room vignette, all three will be amazing for very different reasons... just like last year!

i can't wait to see this in actuality

i have a feeling this will be the room to beat. LOVE the sketch & can't wait to see those rich fabrics in real life. the bloomingdales team is also the only team to put a creative spin on using the required table. a bar is a great idea.

I agree with Patrick. Too early to tell.

Big one to think about here is scale, specifically pattern scale. Patterns at any kind of a distance will become a tone and the pattern and rich detail will only reveal itself when your in the space looking for details.

Maxwells space will be great because it is something (I think) that he would actually do for himself. It will be a nice and expanded version of the Blog nook last season.

Jury is still out for me on Eddie's space. Seems a little showroom at first blush. But like we said before its in the details!

Good luck all!
