<a name='more'></a>From time to time I would like to be able to share with you some of the windows I create at the stores I do displays for. The window I'm showing you today is at the Swallow's Nest Vintage furnishing store.Here there is always a vast array of props for me to get my hands on,so my wheels are always turning. I tend to like windows that tell a story,one that is collected and well traveled,that is what this latest window conveys,hence the title Time Traveler.<br />
Hope you enjoy!<br />

Nowadays when I see people turn up their nose at the suggestion of using Ikea, I have to restrain myself from lunging across the table and slapping them Mike Tyson style! Then I remind myself that chances are they just don't have a clue how to.<br />
<br />
My design philosophy has always been the look for less. Erin McLaughlin said it best in her editors letter of the latest issue of Style at Home "Save or Splurge." She called it "real-life" decorating. It's coming up with your dream design and then finding a way to create the same look without spending a fortune. Really, anyone can drop a pretty penny on expensive pieces,but the reality is ,not everyone can afford to. That is where Ikea comes to the rescue!<br />
<br />
When I walk into Ikea I'm like a mad woman after 5 days without caffeine! My goal is to transform those Ikea pieces, to make them mine by putting my own design ingenious stamp on them. I'm not alone in this endeavor check out <a href="http://www.ikeahackers.net/">http://www.ikeahackers.net/</a> there is a whole movement for achieving this on that site. When I'm done with a piece, the people who turned their nose up,have a whole different opinion about that fantastic store.<br />
<br />
I've spent thousands of dollars on custom kitchens,and then for half of that I've bought Ikea. The difference? Other then the time it takes to sit down and come up with a plan ..... the big sum of nothing. If your one to poo poo this,why then are their kitchens always in at least one home featured on the pages of some of my favorite design magazines?.... You tell me.<br />
<br />
One day when I sell this home,my plan is to build a spec home for one lucky family and finish it all with Ikea! I dare anyone then to turn their nose up,and if you do dare, I shall remind you of my Mike Tyson swing! :)<br />
<br />
Here is another site featuring peoples Ikea designed spaces <a href="http://www.theshare-space.com/">http://www.theshare-space.com/</a><br />
<br />
Have a look at these great pictures of kitchens using Ikea cabinets. I think they are stunning!<br />
I would love to hear any comments you have about the" Ikea debate."<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<br />Dawna Jones Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10141635557173750756noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508997754711197965.post-36615309266456832132012-05-17T21:33:00.000-07:002012-05-18T08:01:12.187-07:00"Designer"Ever since I was young I loved design. I fondly remember pouring over magazines dreaming of the day I could design my own home. Since that day,I have built 4 homes alongside my husband as well as designed and consulted on countless others.<br />
<br />
It wasn't until about 6 months ago that I had finally realized that I needed to stop playing down my abilities as a designer, and start accepting myself for what I had worked so hard to accomplish over the years. This all came about because of 5 amazing women I have the privilege of working with,who have given me the insight and courage to see myself in the proper light.So why then did it take me so long to accept myself as a designer?<br />
<br />
1) "Designer," in my books has long been a misused as well as misrepresented term.<br />
To blame,in my opinion anyways, is the huge influx in recent years of DIY shows on television. Suddenly if you helped your neighbor move their couch to another wall you earned the title "Designer". Frankly, I was not about to lump myself and my capabilities with everyone else and their neighbor who is now a "Designer".<br />
<br />
2) I have never felt that I fit the profile.<br />
You wont see me pulling up in my BMW(although I would kill to have one) dressed head to toe in Prada,with my side kick "Buffy" taking notes and measurements for me. Chances are when we do meet for the first time,I have probably come from one of the other 3 jobs I have, dressed nothing I can assure you,like a walking advertisement for Holt Renfrew.<br />
<br />
3) I have never had formal schooling.<br />
Nope, that's right folks I was just born with good taste (props to my mom),and 16 years of experience, working alongside someone who has fed me a wealth of knowledge. I have no objections to school,but for me it just didn't fit into my timing.<br />
<br />
So what have I taken away from all of this? That just because I don't have a office overlooking Central Park,or my own reality design show,doesn't make me any less talented then those that do. You see designers come in all forms with a list of credentials to follow,that's why it is your job as the client to pick the designer that's right for you.(And there are plenty to choose from.)<br />
<br />
I recently came across my goals for 2012,and the one that stands out the most for me is... To not be afraid to call myself a designer.So here it goes...... Hi my name is Dawna Jones, I'm an Interior Designer, pleased to meet you!<br />

<br />
I have worked with this client before on several different projects over the years,but I had forgotten how her home makes me feel every time I step foot in her door. The first thing I want to do is put my feet up on the time worn, old leather ottoman, and have her go fetch me a scotch on the rocks. I love that feeling!,(not the being served,although that would be nice) but the feeling of walking into someones home and sinking down into the feather filled couch and never getting up because your so comfortable,relaxed and at ease. I started to think afterwards what is it about her home that always makes me feel that way? Is it the worn old wood floors? Or the beat up leather club chairs that looked like they stepped out of a Ralph Lauren ad? How about the persian carpets, surrounded by antique pine cupboards and sideboards, that you know have been knocked around a few times by a growing family, of course only adding to the character. Then in the background I hear a faint tick,tick,tick, of an ancient clock perched on top of the mantle over the brick fireplace. But wait I'm not done.... suddenly I turn around and I'm hit with a larger then life modern abstract painting. I have at that moment come to the conclusion that it is the "mix" or here it comes that dirty overused designer word "eclectic"(yuck I know.) There really is no other way to describe it though, it is, what it is,the mix of styles and elements that when put together make a house feel lived in and special like it has been collected over time.A home with character,setting it apart from others.<br />
<br />
In the past two homes I've built, I have sold all my furniture,looking forward to having a clean slate.I have now decided that I don't want to do that anymore. Filling a home with belongings isn't accomplished overnight,it takes time (and a lot of it) and patience. When I buy pieces now I want to feel that I will love that piece no matter where I put it ,or that it can serve more than just one purpose depending on what I choose to use it for. And that is exactly what I felt at my clients home,a sense that her pieces have been in the family for years and have served many different functions.I bet each piece has a story to tell as well.<br />
<br />
I think a well designed home needs to have pieces like this in order for it to feel like a home,something that can't,( in my opinion anyways),be achieved by filling your home with all new furniture. The" mix". I think it's something I will from now on aspire to continue to achieve! I think I'm getting old.<br />
<br />
Here are four designers who's work I greatly admire,each one always achieves the "mix," in every home they design, even if it is on a different level.<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

<br />
No matter what style of home I have built over the years, the front of my home has always been the most important to me. It's where the first impression is made, and therefore should be a warm and welcoming one.<br />

How can this be accomplished?<br />
<br />
#1 The front door!....<br />
Spend a good portion of your budget on the front door. To me it's the deal maker or breaker, so make it impressive.<br />

#2 Paint the front door a great color!.....<br />
If you can't afford an expensive door then why not paint the one you have a great color.Whatever color you choose make sure it's something entirely different then any other color on the exterior,this way it will really pop! (Unless of course you opt for wood)<br />

(The most beautiful Heather Ross herself!)<br />

Heather's store is a feast for the eyes and a delight to the senses.The Atelier Gallery/ Boutique showcases Heather's art (which by the way is breath taking) hanging proudly above her one of a kind finds that are so beautifully displayed.<br />

Meeting and talking to Heather made me feel as if I have known her my whole life. She is warm and gracious and her passion for what she does was clearly evident in our conversation.<br />
<br />
I highly respect Heather. In a economy that see's everything massed produced,Heather has stayed true to who she is,not succumbing to the pressures of being tantamount or equal to other businesses around her,instead she pours her heart into the one of a kind pieces we come to her store to find.<br />
<br />
Heather's affection for her possessions is evident in the stories that come with each piece,and that alone is what makes me so besot with this beautiful boutique. I will definitely be making this a regular stop from now on, and I hope that the next time your in Vancouver you will too!<br />
P.S. Heather's getting ready for a buying trip to Italy!!!!!<br />

This season the trend is really, any color goes,whether its electric brights or pretty pastels.No matter what, there is bound to be something out there to suit every ones color mood. So how do you plan on using color in your home this season?<br />
<br />
How about a new color for the walls of that room you've grown bored of. By now,we all know how inexpensive paint is and yet extremely effective at instantly updating a space. Maybe it's not a whole room but rather a feature wall, like the second picture. How fun is that!<br />

If painting is not for you, then why not add a throw pillow or two,either in a solid color or a bold print.There is a plethora of sites to choose from these days, to buy pillow covers from, my current favorite is Etsy.com,just punch in the color and size your looking for and sit back and enjoy the choices. These are some of my current favorites.<br />

Have a great weekend everyone!Dawna Jones Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10141635557173750756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508997754711197965.post-52536640179394476102012-04-28T19:17:00.003-07:002012-04-30T08:58:52.123-07:00Crazy For IkatIkat has been on the design scene now for a few years,and I'm pretty confident that it's one to stay.<br />
<br />
I remember seeing it for the first time,on an episode of HGTV with Lynda Reeve's,she was introducing the trend and was showing us pillows she had purchased to put in her office. That's when it hit me,I was crazy for this ethnic trend.<br />
<br />
Ikat meaning "to tie" or "to bind" is a style of weaving,and it differs in pattern depending on the region it comes from. These patterns are handed down through the generations of family,making it all that much more charming to own a piece.<br />
<br />
I see it everywhere from fabric on chairs,pillows,ottomans to carpets,wallpaper,dishes and more recent, tile. Wherever I see it one thing remains,it's always the star in the room,and one I'm sure I will never tire of looking at.<br />

<br />
My main bathroom has received quite a bit of attention. It has been the subject of a few blogs, as well as being added to almost 6000 idea books on Houzz.com. That's a lot of people in my bathroom! On that note I thought I would talk a bit about this space.<br />
<br />
This is not a big bathroom by any means,but it manages to pack everything I wanted to see, in this space. Let's start with the vanity.<br />
<br />
I'm a big fan of focal points in every room, and I challenge you to think about this the next time your building or renovating. The door to the bathroom almost always stays open, affording you a view in,so make sure that when it is, you have something beautiful to look at,("anything please but the toilet"!). In mine it's the vanity.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZZNQXge3bA55gt4lvd5ktrWNHxJo1WYYPtX6xxOejJHYMxY7uijhizyrjPtyk2gZAgPhcXMgMLkT1G4U24XlCwx5K1XBV6YmcUsfpPjUgK53NEN0AZqnzf9ReeS3WYkAWF_qCI-_oxjH_/s1600/DSC_6250_FI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZZNQXge3bA55gt4lvd5ktrWNHxJo1WYYPtX6xxOejJHYMxY7uijhizyrjPtyk2gZAgPhcXMgMLkT1G4U24XlCwx5K1XBV6YmcUsfpPjUgK53NEN0AZqnzf9ReeS3WYkAWF_qCI-_oxjH_/s640/DSC_6250_FI.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
The vanity,and I am proud to say, is from Ikea. The only thing that I have done different is float it off the floor, giving it a more custom look. Next I splurged and I mean splurged on those beautiful handles, but it's truly the jewelry on the classic black dress.<br />
<br />
Off to the left of the vanity is a alcove with custom made 3inch thick solid fir shelves. I have always had open storage in my bathrooms,similar to this one, simply because I love to display my things,and I think it makes a bathroom more interesting then your standard tub,toilet and shower.<br />
<br />
The last thing I did in this bathroom was to create another interesting focal point,and that is the tile in shower.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-GYVUs2KpQTH4dvf37MyiyaSEgVmSXEmvQ1eX_KcqO92UX3OMH-8ELzfK5DV25PM4FHnItQHoEBA9R-KLyG_rwJIyWrXdpRNn51jNezkksRFjSkDQ9ImSGRekx-4FZNvQJUF_i5rzvnrQ/s1600/DSC_6248_FI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-GYVUs2KpQTH4dvf37MyiyaSEgVmSXEmvQ1eX_KcqO92UX3OMH-8ELzfK5DV25PM4FHnItQHoEBA9R-KLyG_rwJIyWrXdpRNn51jNezkksRFjSkDQ9ImSGRekx-4FZNvQJUF_i5rzvnrQ/s640/DSC_6248_FI.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Here the tile from the floor runs up the back of the shower wall to give it some interest ,the other 2 walls have your modern take on the classic subway tile.<br />
<br />
You have probably noticed that I don't have a glass shower door. Instead I have opted for a shower curtain,(custom made by my mom, I might add.) I am not a fan of the maintenance glass requires,besides with new fabric and a lot of begging and pleading with my mom, I can have a whole new look and feel in the bathroom with just a simple change.<br />
<br />
So that's it in a nutshell. If you have any further questions on anything you think I missed, I invite you to contact me, and I would be happy to answer them for you. I look forward to any comments you might have.<br />
Have a great weekend!<br />

<br />
I wanted to share some pictures with you of bathrooms that I find inspiring,although the spaces are not huge they pack a lot of style in each.<br />
Enjoy.<br />

<br />
Regardless of what Kelly is doing one thing remains,she is a design force,one to be reckoned with,and someone that I admire greatly.<br />
<br />
Kelly's use of color and pattern,civilized with objects that always seem larger then life,are nothing short of genius.<br />
<br />
I have never been a "color" person,always opting for a more soothing neutral palette ,but Kelly's use of both has me wanting to ditch the whites in favor of a skittles explosion!( This is usually the point where I start to hyper-ventilate )<br />
<br />
Having read her last book"Hue",I poured relentlessly over the pages,studying every last detail,constantly asking myself with every turned page "How does she do it!". How can she make so many colors and patterns in one room work? And regardless of how she does it.....in the end it just simply works.<br />
<br />
At the vintage furniture store I work for, we often can be heard saying" OMG! that chair is soooo Kelly Wearstler "or "Lets do a Kelly Wearstler styled window display."<br />
<br />
I know that most of you on first inspection of her interiors will be compelled to say,"there is no way I can accomplish this",and to a certain extent I will agree.<br />
<br />
As a designer I have learned, that there is always something in another designers work that I can take away and use in my own interiors,even if it's a small detail. With Kelly it is her originality.<br />
<br />
The next time you are thumbing through the pages of her book or scrolling down her website,I invite you, for a moment, along with myself, to try hard to think outside the box.<br />
<br />
I thank you for this Kelly, as always you have, and will continue to inspire me.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

I want to talk today about displaying your coffee table.<br />
There are so many ways of going about doing this and really there are no hard fast rules as to how to accomplish this. Your coffee table ,should I say is like a blank canvas,and it's up to you to create your master piece. First decide what purpose it serves? Do you have small children? If so then likely you will want to keep sharp and breakable objects off. Do you entertain a lot then you might decide to keep whatever is on top low enough that it doesn't interfere with conversation. This all being said look around your home at the different objects or collections you have that you might want to display.How about books? These are always a must for me, not just for the beauty, but because stacked with objects on top,will lend height and interest to your display. And last but not least flowers or greenery, it will always pull a display together giving it that organic element that's always needed.<br />

This is my coffee table. I enjoy anything and everything organic, the antlers, the coral, the horn on the magnifying glass,even the wood on the number 2, I have a theme and I have carried it through. Then for a pop of contrast and interest I've added the Tom Ford book and lastly the greenery in the vase sitting on top of the books for added height so everything is not all on the same level. The result really tells a lot about me, and the things I like,and so should your coffee table.<br />
Here are some more of my picks for beautiful table top displays.<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Pieces that tell a similar story.<br />

So this past weekend I under took the task of wallpapering a wall in my bedroom. After much debate I just decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and try it myself. The wall I decided to do wasn't huge and I thought it would be a great place for me to try my hand at this. I had watched 2 or 3 You Tube videos and asked lots of questions and managed to con my husband into helping me, he is a magician with a tape measure and a very steady hand at cutting. Anyways after much sweating and swearing and a near divorce (" somewhere along the line he thought he could just take over and tell me what to do") I finished, and the end result is......... I love it and YES! I would do it again. You know what they say practice makes perfect!<br />
So here is the before picture........<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7lSJ7jGXv4-tunUd0PVKGn3y-BGe5fwbwf30d7HxrIZaLg2Y6C3jnlYhcKgAujz4uFb-vCZZywLrGLLi3IytW6aZCnzv5SrNLSAtFWY3gH9HzEchVEAB5sU9_RmRCbSxoslSQE7IzkX30/s1600/DSC_6308_FI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7lSJ7jGXv4-tunUd0PVKGn3y-BGe5fwbwf30d7HxrIZaLg2Y6C3jnlYhcKgAujz4uFb-vCZZywLrGLLi3IytW6aZCnzv5SrNLSAtFWY3gH9HzEchVEAB5sU9_RmRCbSxoslSQE7IzkX30/s640/DSC_6308_FI.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I always felt this place lacked something. This is quite a large space and very open, much like a loft,the bathroom which sits behind that wall takes up most of the space,so my actual bedroom is not very large and other then the wall that the bed backs on to there really is no definition.<br />
So I started by painting the outside walls black, Benjamin Moore's Onyx , to create a bit of intimacy and to make those outer walls recede and disappear. My next task was to make the wall that the bed is against more of a focal point,I didn't want to paint this black as well I felt it would be to much and the over all effect would be lost.That's where the wallpaper came in.<br />
Drum roll please........... Oh ya and by the way this is Graham and Brown's "Darcy" in pearl and silver.<br />

And yes that is white bedding,despite the fact that I am married to a builder and I have a black dog I have decided to have white bedding ! I get a tremendous amount of sun in my bedroom and I have thrown away bedding even in the winter because of what the sun has done to it,so this year I have chosen white linen. Why? I feel it is more forgiving then soft egyptian cotton and I love the lived in look it's going to get over time. I got mine from a site on Etsy called Lovely Home Idea and I felt that the prices as well as the quality were fantastic. Also I would like to mention that my large 24x24 pillows also came from a etsy shop called Artistic cotton check them out.And besides as you can see in the next picture I'm not going to treat it to precious,besides look at how well she goes with everything.<br />

I wanted to share some pictures of a window display I've just done for a kitchen store called The Seasoned Kitchen. I'm lucky enough to be able to borrow furniture from another great store I do work for called The Swallow's Nest so that I have constant changing props at my hands all the time.<br />
I was tired of the typical kitcheny type pieces you would see on a regular basis in a window display for this type of store, so I opted for a bit more of a theatrical display, this is my play on Alice and Wonderland.........Your Late,Your Late For A Very Important Date! All things in this window are cupcakes and tea related.<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
As a designer we are always looking for inspiration and inspiration can be found in many things,but for me it comes mostly from those who have paved you could say the designers so called "red carpet". One such person is Thomas O'brien. I have recently read his book "American Modern" and have fallen madly in love with his laid back but well collected style!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW4ucTvUjOO4IprxHBxs5Sv2deijCtSuZYdg5w96KtJKVYNCf-KmDBDIVDNqCBQMraz-RUwStbtfB2jfTAyKsX2_AX552w2_gDO9lMC7w8PQ6GPybnudZDi_Hg17UJEuKds8sBz84hGqR-/s1600/thomas+o%2527+brien.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW4ucTvUjOO4IprxHBxs5Sv2deijCtSuZYdg5w96KtJKVYNCf-KmDBDIVDNqCBQMraz-RUwStbtfB2jfTAyKsX2_AX552w2_gDO9lMC7w8PQ6GPybnudZDi_Hg17UJEuKds8sBz84hGqR-/s1600/thomas+o%2527+brien.jpg" /></a></div>
Thomas'work is shall I say drool worthy,but his true sense seems to shine through in the interiors he has designed for himself.The New York loft that went from somewhat minimal to the ultimate in being surrounded by the things you love. Then there is his charming vacation home called The Academy,built in 1833 as a local boys academy,it's a place where he could lay down many of the things that he had collected for years.<br />
Thomas' book has taught me many things,1.) to embrace who we are in design and style 2.) In a world were there is such an emphasis on getting rid of things,somehow he has made it okay to still find a passion in collecting and surrounding ourselves with the things we love! This book has been a true inspiration to me and I highly recommend it to everyone looking for confirmation that it is okay to still have STUFF!<br />
Here are some pictures from his book!<br />

I wanted to talk today about art and the role it plays in ones home.<br />
For me art is everything, it's what takes a home from ordinary to extraordinary. When I walk into a persons home for the first time I look to the art to tell me a bit about the person who lives there, that being said I think there is a great misconception that one can only have expensive pieces to accomplish this, not so! I have been collecting art now for the better of 6 years and although I do own a few pieces that stole away a tiny chunk of my child's tuition, I also own quite a few more that haven't. One of my favorite spots for collecting has been Etsy, this is a site where you can have an opportunity to purchase a piece at a fraction of the cost of what galleries charge,and these are very talented people that have made it affordable for people like you and I to own beautiful pieces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Art for me is no different then a new pillow or curtains it is truly an accessory and sometimes you just feel the need to change it up, add a new piece, take one down to put a new one up.I'm constantly moving my art around to give it new life or to make room for new pieces.I can tell you that behind every picture is about 6 holes from other pieces that have been there before. At the end of the day art is what makes a home shine or stand out as being different from any other home that's out there it's an important part in creating a unique style and character that is all your own!<br />
I have noticed lately that groupings of pictures seems to be making more of an appearance, I think it gives an overall effect that this person has been collecting for years and has been methodical about his choices. I personally love the look and have started to do this in my own home. I don't feel there is a rule of thumb for this ,you can choose to do it in a grid pattern with all the same shapes and sizes like I have or you can mix it up,no matter what the look is your own. Now get collecting!!!!!<br />

<br />
Here a some examples of ones that I love!<br />

<br />
This has been an overwhelming month for me with the article on my home and services been published in Coast Life magazine to my living room being chosen out of hundreds of entries to be in the top 6 in House and Home's online contest, ("And a big gracious thank you to all who have voted for me").<br />
<br />
The response to my home has been so fantastic that I thought that what I would do over the next several blog posts is talk to you about each room and how it has evolved and continues to evolve.<br />

So that brings us to the den. This room was designed to be our media room, in each of our houses we have always had a room dedicated to the television a place to go to on the weekends and watch movies,so it was important to me that this room be cozy. When I first started out, this room was painted white but it never fulfilled the hunker down and get comfortable feel that I had intended to go for, So I went ahead and painted it a dark grey/brown color,which instantly gave it that cozy library feel that I wanted. I have never been very happy with a few of the things that were in this room,such as the carpet although plush it took up so much floor space that you could no longer see my beautiful dark floor,so I opted for a beautiful cowhide that as you can see allows the dark floors to show, instantly making this room feel larger.And then there was the coffee table,I had this piece custom made but somewhere along the way somebody's measurements weren't quite accurate ,so I felt the need to search for something that would fill the room and act as a place for us to put our feet up,I was lucky enough to find this linen ottoman. This currently is my winter look,soon I will change the pillows blankets and curtains to give it an instant update into spring/summer something that can be done for little money but huge impact!<br />
<br />
I'd like to just talk about one other element in this room and that is the cabinet under the television.I found it very difficult to find a piece that would work here so I had my husband custom make this one for me. I used inexpensive Ikea cabinets and then had him wrap them in fir planks,I then painted the doors the same color as the walls because I wanted the piece to blend into the wall to give a custom built in look. A simple inexpensive way to get the look when you just can't find anything else out there.<br />

Here are a few pictures of media/tv rooms that I think all spell cozy! Note the artwork in each one always a big must for me!<br />
