Privet, Felicity! « Project Nursery

A Project For: Felicity
Age: 7 months
Location: Grand Rapids, Michigan
Description:
Despite me being a quilter and my mother owning a fabric store, I couldn't for the life of me find anything I liked (or could afford). That was until I saw the "Little Kukla" line from Suzy Ultman. . . . **swoon** I am such a nerd, I actually wrote her a letter proclaiming my ultimate fan status to her work. She never responded. Hahahah.
Design Inspiration:
The onion dome print that I used in the drapery panels was my launching point. I thought of cold winter days in Moscow, St. Basil's Cathedral, onion domes, and matryoshkas.
Decorating Style:
Eclectic, inexpensive, quirky, whimsical
Project Details:
All fabrics came from my mom's fabric store. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Designer-Fabric-Boutique/227942903944799

I just love it! Our little girl is going to be a Felicity, too! Plus we are also doing a gray and orange nursery, fox themed.

St. Basil’s Cathedral is really beautiful and it’s wonderful of you to choose it as a theme. Perfect for a colorful space!
