I wanted to create a whimsical and fun big girl Neverland room for my little girl who just became a big sister. I wanted her to be excited about the new space (and not jealous of the baby who would soon be in her old nursery) and help her embrace being a girl girl (toddler bed)! The teepee, tons of accessible books, and fun dress-up clothes and toys around the room, there is endless fun and imagination ahead!
When I first met with celebrity clients Sean Combs and Kim Porter he insisted on an all white nursery :) As the selection and design process began we came up with the perfect solution! An all white playrooms with pink glazed crown and floor molding, a beautiful nursery with soft pinks, a romantic sky and an amazing garden fairy mural.
There was a LOT of love that went into each and every part of Kinzie’s nursery. Let’s just say, we had some struggles trying to conceive… This little girl changed our lives forever before she even made it into this world and I (we) wanted her to feel the LOVE around her.
From DIY projects (chandelier crystals, creating a special clothing wall display, etc) to adding elements and vintage pieces that gave me such special/happy childhood memories.
Addison’s big girl room was designed by her Mom. A sparkling flower garden was painted around her bed and I added a few whimsical fairies throughout the garden. The flowers and fairies are bejeweled with crystals and glitter paint. Her name was also hand-painted to match the room. The quote on the wall is “Like glittering dust on fairy wings, little girl dreams are of magical things.”
A DIY first birthday party for my sweet baby girl :) We put a lot of time and effort in to planning and executing this party. The decorations and food were done on a budget but the rest was not: We had to build a dividing fence through our yard to keep our three giant dogs on one side. We also bought an outdoor setting, park bench, amazing gazebo and rebuilt our sandpit for the kids to play in. We are so pleased with how the day turned out!!
A nursery with a medieval twist and some fairies thrown in just for fun.
We are all about the projects that come along with baby. And baby’s first birthday is a big one! It’s about baby, friends, family and most importantly the parents! After all, we’re the one’s who survived the first year. So why not keep it intimate and keep it in your backyard. There’s nothing sweeter than a backyard birthday bash and here’s some some sweet birthday decor to inspire… Classy and Modern: Among the all Elmo, Sesame Street, and Barbie themes, there’s nothing better than two simple colors to theme your child’s party. Go Crazy, Go Carnival: Caterers set the theme with traditional carnival foods and carts. Keep it bright and festive without the scary clowns. Sweet and Lovely: Light and airy decor set the tone for this whimsical fairy theme. A friend once gave me a tip and suggested that I catered my son’s first party. She couldn’t have been more right. I love to cook but cooking and hosting a party with babies crawling and toddlers running around the house is hardly like one of your pre-baby cocktail soirees. So one piece of advice I would like to pass along to others is to order your party favors pre-packaged and in advance! I spent a silly amount of time and money putting together themed favors. I even ordered items that were not baby safe but looked so online. To avoid making the same mistake, visit our friends at Goody!Goody! for unique, hassle-free party favors on the go. Goody! Goody! currently offers 8 themes (from Hannah Montana to Thomas the Tank) and sells favors individually from $3.25 or boxed sets of 10. With advance notice owner Megan will even customize your favors to your party’s theme. Mention Project Nursery (Code: PN at check out) and receive free customized CD’s with your order! Now you’ll have more time to decide whether to serve cake or cupcakes!?!
