he is always working on a million other projects around the house, and his study/music room still hasn't been finished.
while i lost the battle of painting the wood paneling throughout our dining room and great room (numerous professionals told me i really should not because of how old and high quality the wood was down there) those same professionals told me that i should paint the 70's wood paneling in the music room.
it's soooo dark in there and i soooo want to paint it a yummy light taupey gray color.
but somebody has a hard time with change. and paint.
who knows if or when he'll ever cave.
(speaking of cave, that's what it looks like in there.)
anyway, without further ado, here's my happy mood board for a rustic and warm space:
it was inspired by this vintage irish tobacco holder i found for billy, seen here:
it made me think of ireland and an emerald green tone.
we already have awesome gold curtains in there (thanks mom) and great dark leather furniture.
if the walls were the taupey gray color seen in the fabric, the green could really pop.
(of course i'd be leaving the wood beams in there dark- compromise! see?)
billy's mom has some vintage armchairs for us that i think would look great reupholstered in a green velvet, with the patterned fabric being for accent pillows and maybe a heavy tasseled drape over the existing curtains.
i was inspired by the irish countryside painting as art, as well as the vintage tobacco ads.
for a chandelier i definitely think something super rustic or heavy wood would be great in there and keep it masculine.
the vintage fan is almost identical to an awesome one my dad gave us seen here:
and the metal also represents billy's vintage metal desk he has in there. i think the industrialism of the desk and the fan will balance the rusticity of the beams and chandelier, mixed with the luxurious vintage smoking room feel of the jewel tone.
can you tell i'm really trying to sell this?
wish me luck and stay tuned!

LOVE IT! You will persuade the big man...it is a great look!
"rusticity" nice.
ummm.. i love those chairs, and the fabric, and the whole idea. if this is what that room will look like in the future, pretty much just let me crash on the couch in there next time I come and visit. :)
