Seth: Hi I’m Seth.
Jenna: And I’m Jenna.
Seth: We’re not real people but avatars–
Jenna: Quit being such a geek, Seth!
Seth: OK, sorry, fictitious characters. We were invented by the editors of Gracious Style to help you see how design are a part of all of our lives. So in our fictitious lives, Jenna and I are both in our late twenties. I’m a Project Manager at a non-profit.
Jenna: And I’m a visual designer for a gaming company. We’ve been going out for two years now, and we recently moved into a new place in Brooklyn.
Seth: Take a look at our Pinterest board to see what our corner of the world looks like.
Jenna: We’re still unpacking, but this is how we’d love our place to look like:
Seth: This place is so cool, with all the metal and brick and the old school lights. I could spend hours hanging out with my buddies here.
Jenna: This one’s my favorite. I love all the old details — the molding, the fireplaces and mirrors, and the floor. It’s looks so antique-y but cool at the same time.
Jenna: I love everything in this room!
Seth: I like the wood and brick look here.
Jenna: Just remember our place looks nothing like that yet.
Seth: It’s not so bad. Jenna’s made it pretty nice already.
Jenna: Thanks. But we’ve still got a long way to go.
Seth: Not too long now — my parents just announced they’re coming down from Wisconsin for the holidays, so we better get it ready by Christmas.
Jenna: Oh boy.
Seth: Huh? What’s wrong?
Jenna: Well, this’ll be the first time I meet them, and we’ve still got stuff in boxes. I’m scared!
Seth: You’re scared? Ha ha! Last time they were out in Brooklyn was visiting Luger’s for steaks 15 years ago, so as long as they don’t get mugged, they’ll be happy.
Jenna: What Seth meant to say was: we want to make this place really nice for them when they come out.
Seth: Yeah, so could you give us some ideas on how we could set up the guest room for them?
Jenna: Pictures would be great. I’m a visual person.
Seth: And I’m not good at imagining stuff, so yeah, pictures would help me too.
Jenna: We’ll retweet all your suggestions and add our favorites to our Pinterest board with a big “Thank you!”
