Ashleen Cummins was tired of her room with the pink, green and yellow garden theme. She was 12 now and wanted a more sophisticated look that reflected her passions.

“I wanted it to be Audrey Hepburn — kind of French looking,” said Ashleen, standing in her bedroom overlooking the Rockridge neighborhood in Oakland.

Her parents had fun remodeling the kitchen downstairs in the French country style (which will be featured on Lookiloos soon). So it was Ashleen’s  turn to make her room her own. With the classic black and white photo of Hepburn on her wall and a palette of pink, black and white, she created a room perfect for her.  

“She was very picky about the drapes,” her mother, Clarice Cummins said. The black and white swirling fabric was actually tablecloths from Home Good that she converted to drapes.

Ashleen also wanted an antique, vintage feel. She asked her grandmother if she was willing to part with her crystal chandelier. “My grandmother took it off her ceiling,” Ashleen said.

And in her room, it looks right at home.
