Mademoiselle Chambre at DC Design House 2016

July 22, 2016

You know how when you’re really busy, time seems to move at a faster pace? Between working on some amazing client projects and planning our bedroom space in this year’s DC Design House, July is flying by! October 1 — opening day for the showhouse — will be here before we know it. But our plans for a girly yet glamorous bedroom, which we’ve dubbed the Mademoiselle Chambre, are really taking shape.

Orders are in for furnishings and  accessories that capture the right mix of sophistication and youthfulness for our imagined Parisian teenager transplanted to DC. We are anxious to share the end result with you this fall, but in the meantime, here’s a little preview, courtesy of our design boards:

There will be enough feminine florals, pink hues and sparkly accents to make any young girl smile! Here’s a closer look at the overall room design:

I hope you’ll come see how we — and 18 other area designers — bring our concepts to life this October. For more information, check out the DC Design House website. Remember, proceeds benefit Children’s National Health System, so you can support a great cause and pick up some design inspiration to boot.
