Woodland Nursery

I'm currently designing a woodland themed nursery. My client wants the nursery for her baby boy to be mostly neutral with a few pops of color. Keeping with the woodland theme, I chose several different textures including a lot of wood tones to help keep things interesting. I also am using lots of geometric shapes to bring a modern touch and to tie things together. I'm super excited to see this space come together and will be posting more updates along the way.

1. Leather pouf
2. Wooden tree mobile
3. Dotted crib sheet
4. Raccoon pillow
5. Metal side table
6. Two tone Dresser
7. Brass floor lamp
8. Wooden deer
9. Basket
10. Shag rug
11. Baby bear pennant flag
12. Vinyl triangles
13. DIY Triangle shelves (similar)
14. Happy camper print
   

Will's Bedroom Reveal

I'm finally sharing a few photos of Will's room! It has been a work in progress and I've been collecting and putting things together over the past year. I probably could have finished it much quicker than I did, but if you've ever designed anything for yourself you know how hard it can be. It's much easier to design for others. Because we moved a lot over the past several years, I've never really completed a space for Will so I thought it was time. I knew I wanted a space that could grow with him and reflect his personality. I also wanted a space that felt light and bright with a bit of fun. He is a four year old boy after all! I think spaces for kids don't have to feel too childish and themed, but should have some elements of playful and fun. While there are still a few things left to finish like window treatments, brass knobs for the dresser and I would like to eventually get a headboard, but for now I'm happy with how it came together.

Bedroom update

Over the past six months I've been working on styling the boy's bedrooms. It has taken me way longer than it should, but other things have come up and sometimes I'm just plain indecisive. Plus, anyone who is a designer knows how hard it is to design for yourself. Designing for others is waaaay easier! I finally got Will's gallery wall installed and with a few minor details to wrap up, I'll be ready to share the rest of his room soon.

   

Home trend: round mirrors

I've been using all sorts of inspiration from Pinterest and home magazines lately as I finish styling the boy's bedrooms and gather inspiration for my master bedroom. One home trend I've been seeing everywhere is the round mirror. Decorating and styling with mirrors has always been a favorite of mine because they help bring in more natural light to a space. Plus, the curved lines of the round mirror pair so nicely with the straight lines of frames and furniture (or brick!).

What do you think, would you use one in your space?

Spring cleaning

Anyone else in spring cleaning mode? I can't help but want to clean out anything and everything right now. I'm happy to say I've been making some progress on the boy's bedrooms in terms of styling them and organizing (one of my new year's resolutions). Here's a little sneaky peek at Will's room. I'll be posting more updates on the boy's rooms here and also on Instagram.

Here's to a great week.
