Today I’m trying something new.  I found a “party” over at ComfortAndLuxury blog and decided to participate.  The idea is that she chose 2 chairs from Anthropologie and whomever wants to play can make a mood “inspiration” board around one of the chairs.  Here are the 2 chairs:

They are both really fun and colorful….normally I’d choose the oversize paisley, so decided to go against my usual and try the somewhat tamer chair.  I love the lines of it and I’m always a fan of stripes.  This morning I quickly visited some of my fave online retail shops and put together this board.

I designed a quick guest room complete with day bed (love the circles!), a small writing desk and some display options.  The background color represents wall paint.  I picked the rug because it reinforces the circles on the daybed and is a good contrast of pattern to the stripes. Ditto the Candace Olson lamp – the base is covered in circles.  Here’s where I found the goodies, moving clockwise from the candleholders:

Sassolino Pillar Holder – Z Gallerie

Circle Cutout Daybed – West Elm

Hudson table lamp – Candice Olson, AF Lighting

Jay Desk  – West Elm

Bridget rug – Pottery Barn

Papillon & Flower toss pillows  – bonujourmoncoussin.com

This is a fun game.  If you want to try your hand at it but don’t have Photoshop or similar art program, try polyvore.com for a free do-it-yourself site.  Visit Comfort and Luxury today and see some of the other boards – there’s a bedroom, dining room and more!
