renovation – Audrey's 74 A blog by Giulia Doyle Tue, 31 Jan 2017 21:28:05 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.1.16 Modern Nautical and Glam Basement /2015/02/02/modern-nautical-and-glam-basement/ Mon, 02 Feb 2015 13:39:33 +0000 http://www.audrey74.com/?p=3507 Right now we are in the messy trenches of transforming our unfinished basement into extra living space and some room for guests. This is a slow transformation and still looks very much like this, even though wiring is now complete and my husband framed out all the window wells in preparation for drywall. While the dust is flying, Danielle, Creative Director at The Land of Nod, and I were brainstorming how this space could look like down the road.

I had nautical intentions for the space and pinned beautiful beach side inspired interiors on Pinterest, with lots of nautical blue. But Danielle helped me add a little ‘oomph’ to my ideas by adding bits of modern and unexpected punches of color. In addition to shades of blue, black and white we also added some pink and mustard yellow/gold. We ended up with a Modern Nautical Glam Basement that I’m sure will transform the space into something comfortable, fun and relaxing.

The room is about 600 square feet and I already own most of the large furniture pieces, such as white storage closets, a large white sofa, white bed, white dresser and black and white striped rug. Our goal is to use all of the existing neutral elements and to tie the room together with a bunch of fun Land of Nod accessories – many of them just launched last week!

Check out the full post with inspiration photos on the Land of Nod blog! I’ll be back with progress on the transformation soon.
