Jessica’s Townhouse

Jessica is moving into her first house, a townhouse, and wanted to know how she should decorate it. She emailed me some pictures and gave me a rundown on her style. This included:

80% traditional and 20% modern.
timeless but with a little bit of sass.
a few accent pieces in a fun color (red?).
mostly something we’ll like for a long time but with a few pieces that we can change if we want to.
We like some modern things but not really futuristic things.

I like Jessica’s direction. Although, with one alteration. Red can be a great accent color, but the more I see it, the more out-of-date I think it is. Remember how there was this period where everyone thought they’d go crazy and paint one red wall? Well, everybody did it, and I didn’t like it then, and I definitely don’t like it now. I don’t think that Jessica was suggesting that, but the hotter colors to accent with are orange, greens and yellows.

DISCLAIMER: There are rules to my inspiration boards. Some things are pricey. I don’t intend for the reader to go out and buy every item on the board, or ANY item for that matter. I just hope it steers them in a direction so that they can make decisions for themselves. I’m giving my advice for style, colors, putting patterns together, creating warmth, etc., and the readers can take it from there.

So, with Jessica’s traditional-kinda modern-little sassy style, I have put together an inspiration board for her. Jessica, be sure to let us know what you liked and what you didn’t like, and any purchases you make that you think pull it all together!
