Art Inspired Design Board: Just Dawnelle

I am excited to introduce you to our guest blogger, Dawnelle.

Dawnelle and I went to the same design school, she graduated a few years after me.

I didn't get a chance to know her very well during our design school, but I have loved learning more about her on her blog, Just Dawnelle.

I recommend you pop on over and check it out yourself, she covers everything from design, to fashion, to everyday life!

She also has a great series on her blog where she designs spaces around pieces of fine art.

Today she is sharing a fabulous art inspired design board with us.

Get excited!

Oh this room... I think I am going to dream about this marvelous space tonight. The room is inspired by Claude Monet's The Boat Studio on the Seine, a bright impressionist painting full of color and light. It was the perfect piece to create a classy and sophisticated space with a slight ethnic bohemian touch.

My goal for the space was to create a fresh sophisticated feminine feel reminiscent of the beautiful flowers found in nature. The muted colors and black accents help to subdue the bright and youthful colors in the painting allowing for a sophisticated and classy interior to be created. The fun touches of texture found in the throw pillows and shell chandelier along with the ethnic curtains help to add a layer of free spirited bohemian style perfect for a young girl's room.

I would love to see this room with the artwork filling an entire wall, HUGE, like as big as it can get... 56"x 42". Add a few accents of those gorgeous paint colors and some white furniture. Oh the possibilities... What do you think? Where would you like to see this inspiration used? a living room... office... bedroom?

I don't know about you, but I would love to see this space in an office.

It's moody and rich yet graphic and colorful, a great combination to get me inspired!

Thanks so much Dawnelle!

Where do you think this design is best suited?
