- A Project For: C.
- Location: Midwest, USA
-
Description:
A bright, contemporary nursery inspired by bold green, yellow and aqua. One friend said “Its a room fit for a duchess and/or a rock star.” That’s exactly what I wanted to do.
-
Design Inspiration:
This mom-to-be, who owns a wonderful boutique apparel shop here in the Midwest, wanted her baby's nursery to be calm, but magical. Sophisticated, yet hip. Inspiration started with the chandelier and the pelmet/canopy. The pelmet/canopy fabric and design defined the palette of the room. The canopy drapes are reversible, so that the little girl can have options as she grows into her room. I love filling a nursery with things that the child can keep forever. The drapery is made from a remnant designer fabric @ $5.99 a yard, {found at a local wholesale fabric store}.
-
Decorating Style:
A personal mix of edge and sophistication that is stress-free, comfortable and surprisingly affordable.
