Inspiration Board: Upstairs (Blake's Half)

The upstairs is a very large space and we wanted to split it between the two of us.  We are both creative people; I need a studio space to design and create and Blake needs a relaxing space to listen to music and play drums (with my hammering and his drumming, this is going to be one noisy upstairs!).  The most challenging part of decorating this space is having both sides flow well together.  For Blake's space it's important to have a place for his drums, records, and record player.  As well as display some records and band posters without it looking like a college dorm room.
On a recent shopping trip to Bed Bath and Beyond, Blake pointed out an oriental rug that he liked and we began to gather ideas from there....

Inspiration Board: Bedroom

I was unsure on what direction I wanted to go for the bedroom until I saw the inspiration room photo here, and loved the way black, white, green, and gray were used. Our bedroom in our apartment now is decorated in black, red, and gray so it will be an easy transition. We already have just about everything for the bedroom, we just need bedding and some pieces for decor. The furniture was my first bedroom suite in my apartment in Savannah, GA and was painted cream and gold. We painted it black when I got a wild hair before we moved to Knoxville. The furniture is pretty feminine so I think the black and white combo with army green will help make it more gender neutral.
