For The Love of Coral

My sweet sister is halfway through her freshman year of high school, and I can’t believe how much she has matured over this past year. She’s going to be 16 in July, and with all this maturation she has totally outgrown her room. Right now it’s decorated in a rich purple, with a velvet & faux purple animal skin comforter and throw pillows with teen heart throbs taped all over the walls…and yes, that includes Justin Bieber, even from his earliest days…she’s totally a belieber (but who isn’t?!?). So, while I’m away at school, she’s getting her closet bumped out and doing a complete reno of her bedroom; and lucky for her, she has my retreat to sleep in while I’m slumming in my dorm room!

We had gone through different color options while I was home on break, and while perusing the shelves of our Home Goods store, we saw a pattern which had coral and navy coloring, and we fell in love. It was decided, that the theme of the room would be coral, grey, and navy. I personally think the color coral is SO underrated. It can be young and fun, while it can be mature and sophisticated depending on how you dress it.

So, leave it to me, once her room renovation started yesterday, I hopped on the internet, and sent her about five different bedding options. After much consideration she chose one, and I think it’s a good choice for her. Naturally, I surfed the internet more, and decided I’m going to make a design board for her while I’m at it, because theres no half-assing as a designer!!!

The color of the walls we like is Coral Gables from Benjamin Moore. We haven’t seen it on walls yet, but hey, in pictures it looks fabulous!

The bedding believe it or not, is from target, and is a steal!

Some of the items on here are just inspiration pieces, and help give my sister an idea of what’s possible for her space. I’m excited to get home for spring break and take on this decorating project…and yes, while doing so I’ll pretend I’m in cancun with all the other spring breakers this year!!

Hope you enjoyed! I’ll be posting updates on the progress!

Love Always,
