Neutral Nursery

My last post featured this design concept board for this sweet nursery. 

It's soft and cozy for baby Sloane, who was born just 2 weeks ago! 

 

Here is how this little room turned out...

~Neutral Nursery~

Soft and simple.

The round crib is such a beautiful piece of furniture!
We are waiting for the ruffled white cribskirt as well as this Restoration Hardware floor lamp/chandelier (so, please just pretend they're there :)).  The crystal lamp will really add height behind the rocker and a perfect touch of femininity to this space. 



 This built-in was already in the room and the center portion made the perfect spot for a changing area.

 

Some might think that white in a nursery is a disaster waiting to happen.  However, the slip cover chair and bedding can be washed and/or bleached for stains and will not fade like darker colors.

 I love this soft sweater looking area rug.

 

 

 

 

 I found these charming vintage Alice in Wonderland prints and had them custom framed.

 

Congrats to this beautiful family on their new little addition!

Children's Rooms

Happy Monday! Are Monday's ever really happy?!  I'm trying to be optimistic, I guess!
Once again, I am re-posting pictures from my portfolio in an effort to organize this blog.  I decided to list my portfolio by rooms and I need to keep posting to have everything together. So, here we go with these cute little kids' rooms.  I love working on children's spaces.  They are some of my toughest critics! :)

Jack's Map

Even though we are moving into our permanent home in 8 months I was feeling a little restless with all of the bare walls around our current place.  I wanted to just add a few things so it felt more like home. It's hard to do with most of our things in the garage and we sold a lot of what we had in California (trust me, I'm not missing it) so, I decided to get a couple of things. I only wanted to purchase things that we will use when we move.  I noticed this oversize wall map at IKEA and loved it!  It is huge!  This map covers so much empty wall space I am happy we added it to his empty room.  He loves it too.  We find ourselves referencing it a lot when they ask about different places.  Artwork with a purpose :)

My guy.

Pillow and bedding is from Homegoods.  Seriously, his room is not even put together but I'm at least moving in the right direction!!

The lighting was off so I was unable to get an overall shot but you can tell by the bed, which is a queen, just how big this print is.  I think there is some great "boy room" colors in this print that I look forward to adding to his room!  I guess I have 8 months to decide on which color to paint his walls :)

Idaho Project: Kid's Rooms

The Idaho Home Tour continues today with the bedrooms of my clients three children.  First, is their

two adorable little girls rooms.  These two girls are close in age and share a Jack & Jill bath.  I thought it would be fun to make their rooms different but make fuchsia the common theme.  After the girls rooms you will see photos of their son's room.  As you can see, I tried to carry a few similarities of the girl's rooms but with a different color scheme.  Enjoy :)

Updated Girls Room, My Weekend & eDesign

Hope you all had a great weekend!  

We spent this weekend at a festival in the German town of New Braunfels.  It was a fun activity with the kids! We also spent some time downtown without the kids (love our new babysitter)!! We are loving all of the fun activities Austin has to offer.  Every weekend there is some sort of festival or activity going on!

So, I last posted about the bedroom swap my clients needed to do to make room for baby.  Here is updated photos of the girls new room....

We added a chest of drawers from Ikea to replace the nightstand that was in their other bedroom.  The girls needed more storage.  We also used a lighter shade of paint on the walls.

We also added this cute ruffle bedskirt from Potterybarn.  

Love this room and these girls!!!  I miss this family :(  Maybe I can talk them into moving to Austin?!?!  PLEASE!!!!

On a side note, I just received photos from one of my eDesign clients in Idaho that I cannot wait to share.  This custom built home is gorgeous and filled with beautiful details.  Stay Tuned!!

Room Change

I hope you all had a great weekend!  

I wanted to start the week of with sharing a project some of you might remember.  This family needed to change rooms around to make way for their new baby.  I completed their girl's room months ago and now we needed to change it to a boys room and switch the girls to another room.  

This is the girls room we needed to change...

My client loved the paint color and didn't want to change it.  So, I did my best to create a man cave with the existing silver sage paint.

This is how it turned out...

 The front lumbar pillow that I found at Homegoods is what we used to pull the room together.

The dressers are from IKEA and helped manify (I'm just making words up now) the room.

This rust colored rug is from West Elm and pulled the rust from the Homegoods pillow.  This was an exciting find!

The Quilt and sham are also from West Elm and I made the green geometric and rust back pillows. 

I know the boys are happy with their new room...as much as two boys that now have to share a room can be :)

I will share the update and re-located girls room this week!

Have a great week!!

ROOM FOR TWO

My client wanted me to design a room for her two daughters (ages 4 & 9) that share a bedroom.  She was struggling with their age difference and the desire to create a room that was age appropriate yet would last for years to come.  Also, the room is a difficult shape to work with and trying to find a way to fit two beds was a challenge. 

I tried to be budget conscience so we splurged on the custom headboard and pillows but everything else is from Target and Homegoods. 

The color scheme is silver sage, pink, orange and mustard.

 Since the headboard is a big investment we chose a neutral color so she could change the color scheme one day when they move into seperate bedrooms.

We are waiting for this adorable mustard print pillow from Villa Home to add to each bed.

 

I normally would not have placed a bed in front of a window like this but it actually turned out great and having the two headboards made the room so pulled together.

 The orange lamp and side table are from Homegoods.  I broke my own rules and purchased a lamp that was only 26" high.  I figured we could place it on books to add height and add a new white shade....the color and price was just too good.

The coverlet is from Target.  I have said it before but I love all white bedding with colorful pillows. 

If I had time to stage these photos I would have added some of these to the nightstands...

:)  Time is hard to come by these days!

If you are interested in ordering any of the fabrics from this post just send me an email.
