Villa Sibi, Twice


I really hope that I am not the only one out there who decides that she cannot fully harmonize a room setting, and then creates two different scenes in one.

It's frustrating on the one hand, because I feel like I failed at a unified interior, but then kind of challenging and fun on the other hand, because I end up with a creative solution that I am generally happy with...at least temporarily!

Question: Could the same person/people live here???











 


I'll let you decide :)

Credits: Couch is minimodernistas; wall covering is Paper Source; Noguchi table is PRD; fixture is vintage German, as is the table on the deck; gold chairs are CB2 ornaments, spray painted; shelving unit is Minisx2 on Etsy; chairs are an eBay find; side table and long farm table are doll house show finds; house wall art is from JoAnn Fabrics. Accessories are Re-ment, AG Minis, dollhouse show and eBay finds, toHold on Etsy, Megan of Modern Mini Houses, Jazams, Bodo Hennig, Dragondee, and Cyd of Mini Mod Pod.

The time it took me: 57 minutes, mostly due to extreme indecisiveness!!!

    1. Hi, Marta! So perhaps a couple can survive in this seemingly unrelated space! I hope they get along :)

  3. To answer your question...yes! Secondly, do you have trouble keeping your air plant alive? I bought some from West Elm and I keep forgetting to water them.

    1. Thanks!! :) I a a neglectful air plant parent. You are supposed to water them and I've done nothing!!! Still looks OK, though.

  4. Do you mean the two ends of the room? For me, the red and turquoise elements do unify it - strongest at the lounge end, but present at the other end too, and in the middle with the glass jars and watering can. So yes, it makes sense to me - different use areas for the same person/people, harmonised through the colour highlights.

    1. Yes, the two ends...I separated them with the shelving unit :) I a glad you noticed my attempts at unifying the scene through color. I like to do that anyway, but definitely tried to be conscious of it here.

  5. In answer to your question: Easily! Also, I really like your gold and blue wallpaper.

    1. Thanks! I dig the wallpaper too. The blue is really a lovely shade.

  6. I think in 1:1 life, most homes don't have a unified style. There's harmony in the design here--and the fact that it's not "matchy matchy" gives the scene character and builds an interesting profile about who might live there.

    1. Now THAT is reassuring, because we live in a state of uninified!!! :) I was thinking about what type f person might inhabit these spaces...ideally someone who likes red and teal!

  7. Great scenes! That orange couch really adds a pop of colour. It's going on my "must make this, absolutely must" list. I'm thinking a mostly black and white room with a black and white HUGE picture with that couch set by it. I have to say, almost everything I've seen of yours I've been drooling over. Fantastic job!
