text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Depending on the day, minute, hour or week, I'm always doing something different (as you may have noticed from my  blog entries!)... cooking, diy home projects, event design, etc.  Well today, I'm interior decorating.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a new section of my business that I'm very excited about - home interior design.  My first client has asked me to help her with her two sons' bedrooms.  After seeing photos of the two rooms, photos of the rest of her house, and talking with her about her vision, I've created the following design concepts.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">CONCEPT 1 : Ralph Lauren</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've prepared two versions of each concept - one for each room.  So, the theme is the same, but executed differently in each room.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbdAbNQJeQlPNtsr5QdCoSmrkSKTZKlWh0QmpHjYB1L0jhKR8HO4PLC7pjiSU98uIDxbhRYu9A6KWoG8h26JOyWyfZaHC8cM9QcXcBw1KQykl8wWTqPYsdLw_yp9jFR66USKBePEQd0SXs/s640/Laura.jpg" width="640" /></div>Ralph Lauren 1 : This room took its inspiration from the Polo's darling children's line.  The bedding will be similar to the classic light blue oxford shirt, layered with plaids (white sheets, of course).  I'd use oatmeal linen throughout the room as the neutralizer amongst all of the color... drapes, throw pillows, etc.  The walls will be a deep, grey-blue.  I think the brass light fixtures and nail head trim on the grey wool chair are very Ralph Lauren.  I like the addition of vintage artwork to the traditional decor.  <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvDld5ajZ0YcR0ISIH-1de_AfJ9hJEVHCvOAPMHfkVEvpxKayq-vXpZzjJAwcBviiQgUCDBJAuaTF_Szp4x1tQbfm_wJv3alb9UmjA6lMSZp_urFeoUPqK536k5Huik_Vs2_PIzijz7BPj/s1600/Laura3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMmPyrkttQ5REMKVOsHKAOFr6CxBpee2_TAGjZ7c2Gn_DWDaygd_njrlxW2EmSBgXCpfknqPKPufGx8QS08ASR8ndxKGLxjqVSNpb-v2JQ3SePS-UuPECAWutcoI4Q7AWjLBokYb9nNARt/s1600/Laura4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
