French Linen by Annie SloanДЇrench Linen is one of those colours that gets more beautiful the longer you look at it,' says Annie Sloan. ItвЂ™s very easy to use but makes a bold statement.' 13. 'This colour is so popular because it brings depth, drama and shadow вЂ“ unlike other dramatic shades, Graphite complements and enriches almost every other colour. 'Graphite is perfect to bring some backbone and focus to otherwise neutral schemes, on industrial or neoclassical furniture, and breathtaking as a feature wall,' says Annie Sloan. Voila, the wood turns dark.Until recently Graphite was the darkest colour in the Chalk PaintВ® palette Athenian Black now claims that title but this nuanced charcoal grey continues to charm. Then brush on the steel wool/vinegar (don't forget to strain the wool). In another jar, he mixed black tea with water. He put a steel wool pad into a jar of vinegar and let it sit for a bit. The company is Provenza, Pompeii collection and the color is Amiata.Дistressed wood: The wood is cedar that's been treated to look distressed! My client is brilliant, so he did some googling (is that a word?) and came across several sites that had a recipe to do just that.

Thanks to her father who wanted her to feel special, she is able to spend half her time in a room that reflects who she is.

This room will grow with her until she leaves for college and then comes back as a guest.

It has a touch of sass and a вЂњbeachyвЂќ feel. It is bright and cheerful, yet cheeky and fun. Also, the small Moda dresser from Room and Board stores books, magazines and makeup stored in baskets from the Container Store.ДЄidan loves her room. A custom bulletin board above the desk is a great place to tack party invitations and notes from friends. We had to work around mementos that soon-to-be teenagers collect by the truckloads. Organization was a big factor is redesigning the room. ItвЂ™s easier for Aidan to do her homework when she feels organized and clutter free.

The desk from West Elm from their ParsonвЂ™s collection expresses a grown up feel accompanied with the Saarinen Tulip chair.

We provided extra seating by adding a vintage revamped chair accessorized with a Jonathan Adler needle point вЂњLoveвЂќ pillow and a Moroccan pouf from Shabby chic. The turquoise color is echoed in the tufted buttons on the custom headboard and trim around the linen roman shades on the window.ДЄidan wanted a hangout room for her friends. We incorporated her love of the ocean with a custom, mixed Benjamin Moore paint color in a beautiful turquoise blue. It was our job as designers to introduce to Aidan a world beyond Pottery Barn Kids. She had asked for a вЂњbeachyвЂќ feel and as design professionals know, what takes over in the creative process is the ideas evolve and many either are weeded out or enhanced. It may have вЂњgrown upвЂќ attributes such as chic English paisley wallpaper by Osborne and Little and a sassy вЂњLike ForeverвЂќ poster, but it is still comfortable enough to hang out on the flokati rug or on the vintage revamped chair.ДЄidan was very involved in providing the design inspiration for the room. The room therefore is sophisticated, yet still young and innocent. He wanted her to feel вЂњunderstoodвЂќ and validated as a girl entering into her teen years. Her parents are divorced and her father wanted his daughter to be at home in his new bachelor house. Aidan is a 12-year-old girl who lives with her father half of the time.
