And since we’re kicking off the Summer Style Soiree with Audrey Hepburn herself, I immediately knew that I wanted to design a room inspired by that very gown.
This was such a delightful little project for me. While I haven’t decided if my room is for a child, a teen, an adult or a guest, I have decided that I could move right in!! The delicate pink bedding gorgeously illustrates the gown, the crystal chandelier and venetian mirror alludes to her glittering jewels, the vintage alabaster and marble lamps portrays her signature pearls and fair skin, and the dark furniture grounds the room in a manner similar to her dark features.
Now, the really fun part is that, starting tomorrow morning, YOU are invited to link up your creations as well!! This inspiration can be applied to anything as long as it ties back to the style icon- think fashion, table settings, home interiors, DIY, crafts, entertaining, recipes- the possibilities are endless!
Your hosts will be sharing their Audrey inspired posts over the next two days as well…
“I believe in pink!!!”

I love your design! My friend bought me the movie, Roman Holiday after we went to Italy years ago. I have to pull it out and watch it again!

Love, love, love your design. I too could move right in. It is so timeless, and classic.

I've always wondered how to do an idea board/room mock up like that. Is it just simple cutting and pasting, or is there a program that does it?
Thanks.
If only we had daughters, right? :) If only to be able to decorate with pink! :) Love this adorable sophisticated room! Thanks for joining the Summer Style Soiree fun!
Great job A! Seriously, need to hire you.
What a beautiful room! And how sweet are those memories with your Mom. :)
Ahhh!! Such a beautiful room! I LOVE that dress!
What a beautiful room, Amanda! It is just perfect!!
This is lovely! I'd move right in, too!! LOVE it! Also remember watching Roman Holiday with my mama. Such fun memories!
Fun! Love your design so much!
Love your room design! xo Kristin
That room design is so pretty Amanda! If only my teenage daughter would give me full reign over her decor!! So feminine and ladylike, just like Audrey herself.
the room is truly fit for a Princess!!! Love your take on Audrey's Roman Holiday!!!!
Beautiful! I imagine Audrey would totally approve and love the room too. She was such a stunning lady!
