Design Challenge

Hello, everyone! I hope y'all are having a good week so far!

I am writing because I would like to propose a challenge to you all. I want you to send me a picture, just one picture, of an item (piece of furniture, artwork, fabric, etc) that inspires you, and I will design a room around it. I will try to find affordable pieces to fill the room, although some pieces may come from local antiques stores and such.

I intend to do this once a month, with the winning "Inspiration Interpretation" room being presented on the last Friday of each month.

I actually got this idea from a good friend of mine who, one night while we were out at a local cafe/bar, pointed at a painting on the wall (by a local artist) and said, "Can you design a room around that picture?" (Or something to that effect.)

Over the next couple of weeks, I gathered ideas, looked at lots of pictures, and came up with a style that I thought she would like. I will feature this room this coming Friday to get the ball rolling. (Although I don't have a picture of the original artwork she identified, I will use a similar painting as a substitute, for our first example.)

Sound good?

Now it is up to you find what inspires you and send it my way! So get to it!

Sincerely,
Em at Luster Interiors

PS - Cheating is highly encouraged. If you want to add a note about what styles and designers you like, I am perfectly okay with that. ;)
