Description
We changed our small playroom into a nursery for our second child-a girl. I wanted to create a welcoming bright space that maximized space with various storage solutions. I saw tissue pom poms used above the crib in other blogs/websites and thought that was a fantastic take on the classic mobile.
Design Inspiration
My mom, who is a designer herself, always told me to find a statement piece that you love for a new room and use that as the inspiration for all else. For me, that was the Ikat rug. I loved the bright orange with fuschia color combination and incorporated those colors throughout the room.
Decorating Style
My style is eclectic - I like modern, vintage, and global and try to incorporate all of that in my spaces. I am definitely NOT afraid of color and mixing prints/patterns.

Favorite Items
It is hard for me to choose. I love the rug and the tissue pom poms the best, I guess.
Advice
I would say start with a statement piece - whether it be a rug; art work; wallpaper, or a piece of furniture. Get your inspiration from that and build the room around. Take your time to look around for interesting pieces - don't rush to buy everything at one place.

Lovely and quirky room. I like that tall, slim shelf.
