Meet Little Apple Design

SF & LA

Hi! We are Pam & Melisa. We call ourselves “Little Apple Design” for reasons to be revealed in the near future. Here’s a little Project Nursery how and why in the meantime:

After graduating from UCLA we both landed in New York City and became roommates in a TINY West Village apartment. We lived the single life, focused on our respective careers, met wonderful husbands, obsessed over 2 weddings, endured 4 gut renovations, and survived pregnancy. During which, we traded 246 emails about nursery design, decorating ideas and paint colors in anticipation of the births of our cool kids: Gigi, Gray and Austin. Prompted by HGTV.com’s “Rate My Space”, Melisa posted pictures of Austin’s new LA “crib” on the web. Just days later, after receiving an overwhelming 26,000 hits, 266 comments and attention that sparked online decorating debates, an idea was born: Project Nursery.

We’ll make it clear that we are not designers but rather two moms who enjoy the process of design, appreciate new ideas, taking cues from our friends, the media and online communities. Our goal is to share “Inspiring Kid Design” and convert many of the ideas we exchanged over the years into a blog format. The site is also meant to function as a platform for our readers to share, advise and showcase their children’s room design, products and ideas. While we host the Project Nursery name, any mother knows that kid savvy design begins with the nursery and continues throughout the home. We cover everything from kids rooms, playrooms and eco-friendly finds to all around cool elements for the whole family to enjoy.

According to our husbands, our blog is just another excuse to talk daily since moving to new and separate cities. For us, it’s a true passion and an outlet from being MOM everyday…
