Over the past year, we’ve gotten to know Annette Tatum through her incredibly thoughtful posts here on Project Nursery. As a successful designer and a mother of four, she gets it.

Baby rooms
A few months ago a client hired me (Andrika King Design) to help her create a transitional room for her toddler and to re-fresh the nursery. Her son was just over a year old and she was pregnant with their second child, a little girl. This week I’ll show you the updated nursery and I’ll share the photos of the boy’s toddler room in my next post…
