Let's Murder Marsha

I pulled inspiration from the popular pink and green color palette of the 80s, combined with New York upper-crust comfort. The attitude of the characters gave me the impression that they’d appreciate antiques and heirlooms. Even though this is Tobias’s house, I wanted to give Marsha full control of the decor as it is suggested in the script that her most personal taste is reflected in the bedroom. 

To make my vision come to life, I added a scumble texture to the pink walls, and a spatter on top. I used generic moldings and casings for the archways and doors and painted them off-white. I tried to pull furniture from storage with a similar wood stain and fixed up any furniture that needed it. My favorite personal project was staining the light blue wingback chair green so that it matched the couch and my target palette. I used a 10:1 mixture of water to paint, a sponge brush, and a 5” bristle brush to quickly layer the stain on the fabric to get an even wash.
