If this is the last Room of the Week for this year… does that make it the Room of the Century? I don’t think I could really pick one of those if I tried…
But this one would make a great candidate. I mean, just look at all it encompasses! The return of animal print, bold black and white stripes, ‘tribal’ (does anyone else hate that word?) influences, a touch of mid-century modern and pretty little embellishments that come together to create this cozy traditional romanticism… in other words, a totally undefinable space. That’s my prediction for 2010, by the way. The speed of design + the need for originality = undefinable spaces. And hopefully, a few less frills. I’m liking the lean towards clean and fresh. What do you think??

Hole Mole…let me count the ways i LOVE this room and the number of ways i DETEST the word "tribal!!"
This is a great choice!
Happy New Year
Gorgeous room. Happy New Year! I am with you and love rooms that are undefinable and more unique.
Love love…have a great NYE! xx
I like the clean look too…I'm going to continue to declutter in 2010…Thanks for the motivation!
Happy New Year ~Natalie
Black and white walls have become my new favorite. I'm filing this one away for inspiration!
Oh I loved this room the instant I saw it, too! Miles Redd is so good at creating a fantasy (I guess his background in set design helps). And I think you are right, for 2010 we are going to see a lot more undefinable, original spaces that mix it all together.
Happy New Year, Cassie! Thanks for all the inspiration you provided us in 2009!

It is a fantastic getaway space, but I like you are looking to streamline clean up a bit and flow the interiors throughout.
Happy New Year,
Leslie
Nice pictures!

This room is gorgeous! The blue curtains are such a unique addition that immediately grab my eye, but the leopard print chairs have to be my favorite. Happy New Year!!
Agree, bold prints and lots of contrast does seem to be where 2010 is headed. I like it! Happy New Year
It's perfect. xoxo
I think it's AMAZING! Those leopard chairs…so fantastic!
Beautiful room! Happy New Year!
Hey there Ms Fabulous, the room is awesome. Hope that you are having a fantastic Christmas Season, and are planning a wonderful celebration to ring in the New Year. Looking forward to 2010, and all the great design it will bring.

clean, fresh and minimalistic. i hope it's the trend and i hope it sticks. that's right up my alley (and good fro my budget)!
Picture me dead center el sofa, virginia slims and all…
I lean more towards the minimalistic/clean side. But I am glad I clicked on the comment thing to see how many people really do like these types of interiors, very interesting. It kind of reminds me of Delta Burke and Designing Women:)
Happy New Year!
Ha, ha … "tribal" is not a favorite of mine either.
I'm all for clean and fresh. It looks nice and keeps my mind clear:)
Black and white stripes on the walls and leopard print formal chairs? This room was designed for me!
thank you so much for such brilliant inspiration all year long, Cassandra! wish you a bright and intense 2010! happy new year!
I actually posted a few of my 2010 design predictions yesterday, and one of them was "tribal" influences, lol. I do wish that there was a better term cause "tribal" is pretty vague. I like your prediction of undefined spaces. I think we're going to see more vintage influences especially and more natural textures like bare wood.
And if you saw my tear-sheet binder you'd know how hard it would be for me to pick a room of the century (or even of the year!)
Oh. My.
Those walls! It feels very rock and roll via 1970. Gorgeous!
A few less frills and need for originality..Hmm..I like that.
I would crash that for a night or 20.
A Happy New Year to you…looking forward to your posts in 2010.
Anything Miles Redd is good with me! Excellent choice!
this has been in my files for a long time – the leaopard print chairs and black and white stripe walls is a killer combo!
This room is wonderful! I'm always in love with striped walls and love the addition of the animal print. Very inspirational!
I'm not sure I'll ever fall out-of-love with striped walls – did you see the J Crew bathroom in Lonny? Stunner.
