Giveaway: Pinhole Press Gift Certificate

Posted by Kristin
Comments 85

From the day my daughter was born, I haven’t been able to put my camera down. I became obsessed with capturing all of life’s moments, to the point that my family has started to call me the paparazzi. One of the biggest challenges I have is what to do with the photos other than store them on my computer. I was first introduced to Pinhole Press through Johanna’s post: Creating a Photo Book: A Labor of Love. It was love at first sight. I spent hours on their site brainstorming all the fabulous creations I could make. Now Pinhole Press is offering one lucky Project Nursery reader the opportunity to win $100 worth of Pinhole Press goodies!

The first item I ordered for myself was their brag book. It’s the perfect memento to place on my desk or to carry around in my bag to show off photos of my daughter. The book is durable, so it can survive living in my purse. The price point also makes it a great gift option for grandparents and extended family.

I also fell in love with their photo notepad and had to order one with the tagline “From the Desk of Kristin.” There are so many ways to customize the pad—you can choose an icon for the cover, customize your text and select a photo for the inside. The pink heart notepad would be a fabulous valentine’s gift (hint, hint to all the husbands out there).

Pinhole Press’s silver plated frame also makes the perfect “classic gift.” I adore this frame, and the quality is something I expect to see at my mom’s house on the “do not touch shelf.”


WIN IT! One lucky Project Nursery reader will win a $100 gift certificate towards a purchase of their choice at Pinhole Press.

Suzani for Kids

Posted by Andrika King Design
Comments 0

An easy way to create an eclectic vibe in your child’s room is to use a suzani-inspired pattern somewhere in the room—with a throw pillow, bedding set, rug or on your window treatments. I personally love the subtle look in the photo below, featured in Traditional Home, of the single suzani throw pillow.

The bedding set in the photo below looks like it could be from Anthropologie and obviously sets the tone for this eclectic room with the pattern play of the duvet.

This sweet room, which is actually less eclectic and more preppy, successfully incorporates suzani pillows into the bed for a hip feminine flair.

Annette Tatum has recently come out with a fabulous suzani-inspired set of bedding with her Medallion bedding set shown below. It comes in blue, orange and purple color waves.

And for the baby, the Dakota Blue crib set below is one of my favorite new suzani-inspired sets from New Arrivals Inc. They actually have four sets featuring the eclectic design pattern.

Design Reveal: Saddle Up Lil’ Cowboys

Posted by Little Crown Interiors
Comments 4

We’re thrilled to share another brand new nursery design project from Little Crown Interiors. Last week, we gave Spreecast viewers a sneak peek during Project Nursery’s weekly “Dish and Design” at 11AM PST/2PM EST every Thursday. Today, we’re excited to share the entire project.

Customized from top-to-bottom, we had the pleasure of working with this little cowboy’s parents-to-be to create a perfect space for their new arrival.

One of our favorite parts of this project was having the opportunity to use this beautiful wood paneling behind the gorgeous Chelsea Espresso crib by Bratt Decor. After seeing how beautifully it installed into the room, we’re definitely going to be itching for another opportunity to panel a nursery design project.

Perhaps one of the most inspirational moments of the design process was the moment we first saw this spectacular child’s size saddle, which was used by the mom-to-be during her childhood. After brainstorming several ideas, we settled on the idea of turning it into a one-of-a-kind ottoman.

Another favorite element of ours, is the subtle mural by the talented Bryant Artwork, with whom we’ve worked on several projects, including our celebrity nursery design for Spice Girl Mel B.

A new month means it’s time to announce January’s Project Gallery winners. Hundreds of votes poured in, but two winners shone through in the end. Congratulations to Kimberly, party project winner, and to ashleylind, room project winner. They will both receive a $50 Visa gift card. Thank you to all our readers and finalists who helped pick this month’s winner.

There’s a Peanut in my Belly by Kimberly
Paula, of Frog Prince Paperie, says: “This was such a unique take on a circus theme. The muted colors in bold patterns and the airiness of the party are so pleasing to the eye. I am also in love with the centerpieces with the peanuts and elephants on parade—so precious!”

A Patterned Nursery by ashleylind
Melanie, of Your Style Scout, says, “I love how the mom took something as simple as an argyle sock and turned it into inspiration for an entire wall! The green and yellow combo is incredibly cheerful. She did a fantastic job mixing patterns—it’s probably one of my favorite aspects of the room.”
