- A Project For: Baby Boy Edward

Description:
Designing a second nursery in our house (his older brother was under two years old when Eddie was born) was all about minimizing extra clutter and unnecessary large items that would have to be stored later (especially if his older brother moved from his crib to an adult bed anytime soon). Therefore, I designed the room around the Bloom Alma Mini Crib. I wanted a smaller, collapsible crib, and I absolutely loved the color. From there, I decided on icy blue walls, orange, navy, and varied shades of green accents (I hand made the simple paper crane mobile with fishing line, 3m hooks, and cranes purchased on etsy.com), and a few neutral pieces to anchor the room. The Animal Print Shop by Sharon Montrose "Babies" prints give a sweet, light touch to the space over the changing table, while the large scale Edward Holland abstract tree print ties the colors of the room together (icy blue, white, lime green, grass green, and an accent of purple).

Design Inspiration:
Grass and sky on a summer day. The grass green crib sprouting from the nubby hand hooked rug, the icy blue walls with the deeper navy "night" reading nook, the paper birds in flight over the crib and in front of the abstract tree print.

Decorating Style:
Eclectic, though I always lean toward more modern, clean lines. I try to have at least one vintage piece in each room, and I favor industrial light fixtures and hardware. Etsy.com is my go-to resource for wall accents or art installations. I also frequent art fairs in the summer hoping to find unique pieces.
