Lucy's Nursery

I don't know if you follow me on Instagram, but sometimes I'll throw out a free room design, contest or something else fun. Leigh Ann was the winner of my first Instagram challenge. She was only three months away from her due date so we had to work fast. We actually finished the nursery two days before Lucy was born!

This was the first moodboard I created for her. Once we met, she fell in love with the floral Romo fabric. This is where we put the most money because Lucy will be able to grow with them. We also decided to make it a little more "sweet" so we replaced the bright rug for a soft trellis one.  Next up was the white crib and after testing out several gliders, Leigh Ann picked out the most comfortable one she found. We picked a light grey fabric for it so she could use it in future nurseries. 

Website coming soon!

The last two months have been full of new client meetings, installations and photo shoots. It has been busy-but good! I'm very excited that my website will be up soon. Here are a few sneak peaks from my photo shoots. I'm hoping to photograph 2-3 more projects before getting it up, but we will see!

AM's room

One of my best friends growing up is getting ready to transition her baby to a big girl room. She fell in love with this Jungle Boogie fabric and sent it to me. It was the starting off point for the room. The only other thing she requested was a daybed so AM has plenty of floorspace to play in her new room. This is what we have come up with so far. Isn't it fun?

Chiang Mai living room

Over the last few days I have started working on a new living room project. Ashley contacted me for help with a few different rooms. When you first walk in the door, to the right is her living room. We are starting with it in hopes it will set the tone for the rest of the house.  It turns out she loves Schumacher's Chiang Mai as much as I do. Ashley is the only woman in the house- she lives with her husband and two sons. So the blue color way is the perfect compromise of all things feminine and masculine.

Here are some of the options we are starting with. Which is your favorite? 

Sneak Peek

I have been installing a few rooms at a house here in Decatur. Her style is really funky so this has been a fun project for me. Here are a few sneak peeks:

Before and After:

Before and After- Painting the ceiling purple really changed the room. The wallpaper is really fun too!

And the fun Peacock print fabric

 Breakfast room before and now:

And dining room wallpaper installed

Once I complete and style the rooms I'll share more!

Living Space

So on to the living space. Here is the breakfast area:

At first we were working with her curtains. Hate to replace good things. But in this case they are just too dark for the area.  But to brighten it up, I came up with an easy fix and planned to paint it a bright blue or add a neutral grasscloth to make it feel better. In this picture you can see a close up of her fabric.

But, the more we talked I realized she is much more funky than her house led me to believe. And then we came up with this:

This breakfast area is open to the living area. Its a nice big space and I'm still working on a few things here. Which means we may have to edit the breakfast area because I want it to flow.

Office Update

Whew! January came and I hit the ground running. A few clients I finished up with-things we just couldn't complete before the holidays, and I have started on a few new projects. One I had to hit full speed. My client is a tennis coach and her season starts TODAY. So we had this month to get a house plan in order. We still have a few decisions to make but we are headed in the right direction.

Let's start with her office:

Requirements- storage, seat/sleep combo, cool desk

Here are the combos I came up with-She already picked one, but I'd love to hear your favorite!

 And here is our moodboard. The only thing we are switching out is the sofa-doing a grey one instead. Also, we plan to paint the ceiling purple and add a fun light.

Tomorrow I'll show you her living spaces!

Shared boys room

I have been working on a shared room for two cute boys ages 3 and almost 1. Right now the oldest will use it and little brother will take over move in later. I am so excited about this room because their parents have a little bit more of a modern style than me. Here are a few moodboards I have been working on for them:

New Nursery

Leigh Ann was the winner of my Instagram challenge this month! Yay Leigh Ann! She wants to use her gift card towards a new nursery. She is due in a few months so we are getting started asap!  She said she wanted something bright-which was okay with me!  I started a moodboard this morning for her and here is what I've come up with so far. Im sure we will switch out a few things, but this is a good starting point. Will keep you updated throughout the process.

Nursery Boards

We have good friends who are soon to be parents-of a little boy. Yay for a boyfriend! :) I have a small picture of the drape fabric we are using in the nursery. They are a really fun, modern print and I used them as a starting point for the room. ( Sorry this picture is such bad quality-but you get an idea).

We are going to paint stripes in these colors behind the crib and maybe the bright green on all other walls. So here are the moodboards I created for her: 

Which is your favorite?

New Office

I have quickly outgrown our family room computer area. I have fabrics and samples scattered all over the place. Over the last few weeks we have been cleaning out our storage closet. Its actually a great size-we built it so that we would have a walk-in Christmas closet storage room. I have also been using it as a paint room. Now it is getting a makeover because I am in desperate need of my own space.

Here is my moodboard:

I'm still trying to decide on a light. I have been obsessed with this Arteriors light for sometime now:

And this Jonathan Adler flush mount:

And the Ikea Maskros:

Which would you pick?
