Sarah 101: Episode 6 Boho Chic Girls' Rooms

This week on Sarah 101, Sarah and Tommy chose a colourful tea towel from Anthropologie as the jumping off point for the boho chic scheme of a bedroom and nursery for three little girls. The designers pulled colours from the towels to select broadloom, fabrics and paint colours. Listen to these intriguing paint colour names: Growing Pains, Cucumber Sandwiches, Fireflies, Brunch with Friends, Ooh Long Tea, Slapshot and Schmooze.

Tommy's mantra for these rooms: "Fabric, Furniture, Floors, Fun"

THE NURSERY

Coral (Ooh Long Tea)
Red (Schmooze)
Pale Blue (Slapshot)


Sarah runs a striped fabric horizontally for dramatic
effect on this vintage channel back chair:


A large vintage dresser in perfect condition
provides ample storage:


The inspiration tea towel for this room
becomes an adorable laundry bag:


An unusual light fixture casts an interesting pattern
on the ceiling when a clear light bulb is used:


LITTLE GIRLS' ROOM

Blue (Growing Pains)
Green (Cucumber Sandwiches)
Pale Yellow (Fireflies)


Animal shapes cut from vintage wallpaper are so fun!!

A pair of bedside tables are sprayed blue (Brunch with Friends)
and treated to pretty new drawer pulls:


This plain dresser gets dressed up with a
two tone paint treatment and sparkly hardware:


In classic Sarah style, this room incorporates
a mix of multiple patterned fabrics:


The rooms were very colourful, very kid friendly and very fun, indeed!!
