Aisha's Calm, Cool, Collected Bedroom
Room for Color - West #33


thumbs up

Name: Aisha
Location: San Francisco, California
Type of Home: Condo

Color Inspiration: I fell in love with this light yellow-green a few years ago when I used it in my home office. When we moved into this condo the bedroom was a hideous denim blue.

Give Aisha a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!

Calm. Cool. Collected.




Color Inspiration continued: My husband and I decided to bring in this serene yellow-green but give it a good anchor with the cocoa brown. I always awaken with a smile when I see this color. The rest of the house has a lot of color. This is our most mellow palette. Like a breath of fresh air.


Colors Used: Ace: Milkweed Pod (powdered hot cocoa brown)
Ace: Outback (soft yellow-green)


Color Tip: All the colors don't have to match perfectly. Nature doesn't have a swatchbook. Keep it in a similar family and your space will feel more spontaneous.

Looks like your dominant cat has a comfortable nest while the poor secondary cat has to stay under the bed.

Very attractive room. Interesting color combination and your hanging lamps and bedside lamps are really fun!

If your bridesmaids (or you) prefer a more classic hairstyle, a lovely option is a chignon. This classic twist has been in style with society ladies virtually forever, and it always looks neat and polished. To keep it modern, avoid pulling the hair back from the hairline too tightly (you don't want your attendants to look like aging ballet instructors!); a soft sweep is much more contemporary. The French twist is an excellent choice for bridesmaids with anything from just below the shoulder medium length hair down to long hair almost to the waist.

Half up hairstyles are very pretty for bridesmaids, and most will prefer them over a full updo if the wedding is not very formal with Plus Size Wedding Dress,Informal Wedding Dress,Bridesmaid Dress,Prom Dresses,Mother of the Bride Dress. Even though it is a relatively simple way to wear the hair, it will still turn out best if it is done by a professional. It takes a trained hand to elevate the half up hairstyle from everyday basic to something pretty enough to wear in a wedding.

One way to make a half up hairstyle look special is to gently backcomb the top before securing Plus Size Wedding Dress,Informal Wedding Dress,Bridesmaid Dress,Prom Dresses,Mother of the Bride Dress. Another very trendy look is to weave in a few small braids along the sides of the hair. Never pin this style back with a basic drugstore barrette. Either choose a jeweled clip that coordinates with the bridesmaid jewelry, or use a clear hairband and cover it by wrapping a strand of the bridesmaid's own hair around it. This way, your bridesmaids will look fresh, modern, and pretty as a picture for your wedding day.

I love the rice lanterns hanging in a cluster, they almost have a dandelion feel to them combined with the lovely large decal. Very calming and spacesha :)
