I think we loved this desk area the most as Jonathan and I both have big love for all things fashion. Too bad I didn’t get the desk level before snapping picture! The Working Class Studio Puffy Frame in slate showcases this student’s major of fashion design.  

Puffy Frame by Working Class Studio, Rug by Domestic Construction

The rug by the girls at Domestic Construction was designed by laying out paper cut-outs in different patterns. The resulting image was then printed on the rugs. They are completely washable and can even be used outdoors!

Sketchbook by Working Class Studio

It was essential to include a classic SCAD book, the biography of André Leon Talley, a fashion icon, former editor-at-large at VOGUE magazine who also happens to be on SCAD’s Board of Trustees. We love Andre!

It was awesome to have found this sketch in the room before starting the project!  This designer is obviously not designing for just the size 2 customer.

Savannah Toile Tea Towel, SCAD Coffee Mug and Melamine Dinnerware by Working Class Studio, Rug by Domestic Construction

This is a busy area and space allocation is at a premium here with the vanity area and food prep station so close. We provided many snacks for Sam, Chris and Pat – not all healthy but colorful nonetheless.

Ahhh, the bathroom was rather tight so we decided to purchase an over-the-commode storage area. It worked out beautifully to store lots of shopSCAD bath products goodies by SCAD alumna Kate Bethel. I like to think that Sam, Pat and Chris will just love Kate’s fresh fig bath bombs, grapefruit and vanilla triple-milled soap, milk and sugar shampoo and conditioner, and Earl Grey perfume! The shower curtain was custom made by Working Class Studio in their lovely Savannah Toile fabric in teal.  The artwork “$5.00 EVERY-THINGS” is a wood block print by SCAD alumna Jennifer Jenkins. The rug was made by SCAD alumnae Trish Andersen and Maureen Walsh of Domestic Construction.

OK, so here are the before pictures. This is what the room looked like when we arrived! You can spy Jonathan and my handbag in a few of these  as we were in the brainstorming process.
