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....
