Interior Tuesdays: Fun with Fiction

Today I decided to just have fun with life and create a virtual design board for the main characters of my book.

Crazy, right? I know.

But how often do I get to search for Art Deco furniture? Not often enough, I’ve decided. This design was so much fun to pull together. I searched antique dealers, auction houses, and sites fully dedicated to recreating the look of the roaring twenties.

This is just a sampling of what might be in their home. The foyer with the grand staircase is almost identical to what I pictured in my head when writing about the Remington’s home. The scalloped wallpaper is so incredibly fun while still having an air of sophistication (and it’s a vinyl stencil that you can get here).

And how about that mirror? Talk about a sunburst! I think it’s so amusing to see how trends come back into play decades later. I could go on and on about each individual piece here, but I just wanted to do a concept board to introduce my book.

Is there any piece above that you could see in your home today? I’m kind of lusting after that rug.

  2. What a fantastic idea. I know a lot of authors look for people who look like their characters in order to help them visualize, but I've never seen a interior design board for a book. I love it!
