Nursery Design

I have a couple of really fun local projects that I am working on right now, one of which is a nursery.
Children’s rooms are my absolute favorite spaces to design.
This space is for a little girl due in April, my clients first!
She wanted a light, airy, calm, yet whimsical space. 
I am excited about using some prints from Sarah Jane Studios in the room.
Her prints are so sweet and perfect for a nursery.

It is a small room but it think it will be cozy and welcoming.

On Friday I selected the fabric for the glider and we got it ordered!
We went with a charcoal fabric, I think it will contrast perfectly with the coral accents and minty walls.
We still have lots to do in the space but hopefully I will have some progress shots soon!
Also, this week is going to be a busy one.
I hope to have my new headboard finished, I can’t wait.

Great Online Shopping Source: Zinc Door

I love it when I find a new online shopping source.
I recently discovered Zinc Door and I am in love!
This online shopping store sells unique pieces from many of my favorite furniture brands including: Bungalow 5, Arteriors, Worlds Away, Thomas Paul, Dwell Studios, and so many more!
Here are a few of my favorite items…
I will need to save up my money though, my eyes are bigger than my student budget.
 But when I am ready, these high quality items will definitely be making my short list.
Until then, I will just have to rely on luck.
Lonny Magazine and Zinc Door have teamed up and are offering the chance to win a $10,000 dream bedroom makeover!

This bedroom from Lonny Magazine served as the inspiration when they pulled the pieces from Zinc Door.
Yep, I can definitely get behind this giveaway!
Come on luck, I need you!
Also, I recently updated my Online Shopping Guide to include all my recent finds.
And don’t worry, I included all sorts of stores ranging from affordable to high end.
I find it SO helpful when sourcing items for my online designs, much easier than trying to remember every single store.
Happy Weekend, hope you survived the first week back to the grind 🙂

Matchbook Magazine: A Playful Nursery!

Have you seen Matchbook’s January issue yet?
I adore this playful nursery designed by Sabrina Soto for her sister.

Bright colors and graphic prints are right up my alley.
And I am obsessed with that piece of art above the crib.

Believe it or not, it is just a piece of fabric by Marimekko.
I love this idea because I always get nervous hanging anything heavy above a crib, this art would be light and makes a big statement.

I quickly browsed through the rest of their fabrics and found a couple more beauties.
I love the scale of these prints.

Umm, cool huh?
