Rustic

Hunter Kelly is our son’s name, we wanted a kelly green and navy nursery highlighting golf (our favorite sport) and fun patterns with a rustic element to it.  My husband and father made the wood plank striped wall using cedar planks and staining them with a weathered grey color and then distressing them a bit.  We did one navy accent wall with the rest grey which looked great against the white baseboards, doors, etc.
The nursery is really golf themed, but I sprinkled in some elephants because they are so cute!

Although decor and design are not normally my wheelhouse, prior to starting the nursery I got a really great tip from a design blog.  Choose one piece, however large or small, as your starting piece, and build the rest of the room around that item.  For us, that was the faux deer antlers by whitefauxtaxidermy.com with the mustard yellow antlers.  From there, the rest of the room fell into place!  Living in a smaller place, space constraints and storage were constantly on our mind.  The crib has storage below, and my husband built the wall hanging diaper rack based on a discontinued product I had seen from Pottery Barn.  Although we did not end up having room for a glider, the sofa is a pullout so that the room can still serve a dual purpose as a guest room when needed.  We think it is a pretty soothing environment to bring this little guy home to!

This rustic modern nursery was designed from scratch on a small budget between $1,000 and $1,500. The goal was to provide a space that could be used as a guest room as well as a nursery, so the decor needed to be “adult” enough for any visitors, but with a nod to nursery.
The design aesthetic of rustic modern came from the blending of all the elements in the clients’ home so that the room fit seamlessly with the rest of their house. The final product uses primarily neutrals – grey, cream, beige (or gold, really) – but has just a touch of peach hinted throughout.

Nash’s camping themed 1st birthday party was such a treat to plan! The theme was easy to stick with, and I was able to piece most of it together with things I already had. We also lucked out with a beautiful fall day in Kansas!

My client, who had a clear vision for the look and feel she wanted in this nursery, contacted me months before her baby was due.  She knew she wanted some type of wainscotting, soft colours and a somewhat “boho” feel to the space.  Above all else, she knew she’d be spending a lot of time there, so she wanted to love it.  And I’m happy to say she does!

I knew from the start that I wanted to create a bright but neutral space four our 4th baby who’s gender was a surprise! I didn’t want the room to be too masculine or feminine so we kept the color pallet very simple with mostly white and a few dashes of varying shades of gray and tan. Our surprise baby arrived a month early and is a darling little girl who we named Portlynn Blake.

I wanted Ari’s animal inspired nursery to have a calm and neutral vibe but not overly themed. I also wanted to incorporate some furniture and elements that could be long lasting and used in his room decor as he becomes a toddler.

We celebrated Lowe’s peach, mint and pink first birthday at a restored cotton gin near our hometown.

Elin’s birthday is just a few days after Christmas. With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday and a birthday to follow I wanted them to be two separate things but at the same time not have to redesign the house. After searching Pinterest and Etsy I fell in love with the idea of having a Winter Onederland themed party. I could use my Christmas decorations but also make a party out of it.

I really wanted to create a bright and airy space for my son that both he and I would enjoy. I knew that I wanted to incorporate animals as a theme and use the colors gray, navy and mint. It was important to keep this project budget friendly, so many of the projects were DIYed.

So it all started with our client wanting a wish upon a star theme. We knew right away we would make this a more hip and cool up to date theme by adding in the rustic elements . This party was all about diy. We hand made all the centerpieces, spray painted the letters, hand made the banners, candy labels, thank you bags and the list doesn’t end there. one of our favorite elements of the event was utlizing the custom rustic wood bar that we designed with the contractor,  Adam Mayer. The built-in bar added just the right amount of added rustic we needed for a side backdrop.  Being that my business partner and I are both new moms we knew exactly what its like to have a baby shower. We wanted to make this a stylish yet relaxing event for our client. There were tons of food and candies for everyone to munch on and we loved the cake pops and cake that we designed with Vani… The paper brown “About to Pop’ popcorn bags were hidden around the corner for a nice little surprise treat.  The gold made everything bling and sparkle while working magically off the teal color.

Little Hudson turned two!  I couldn’t wait to throw a Southern Style bash for my little Southern Boy!

I wanted a modern nursery with a touch of rustic that didn’t scream baby.  I didn’t have a glider or changing table for my first son so this is something I wanted to incorporate in this nursery.  I didn’t want to buy an all matching furniture set instead I wanted a more collected look.

I wanted to create a fresh/ rustic/shabby chic nursery.  I was working with a pretty tight budget so I had to figure out how to get the look for less.  I incorporated a lot of things into the room that we already had at home and found pieces for a great price at target and on etsy.  I handmade the bed skirt myself and a local seamstress made the curtains for $50(amazing!!! I mean they are pleated and lined!)

Our clients are in love with their labradoodle…. their first baby! We wanted to incorporate her into the room and make sure she was included. Every detail was thought through  with the expecting couple in mind. We wanted to make their little one feel comfortable in an environment that reflected his parents.

A boy’s nursery filled from floor to ceiling with vintage objects, DIY projects and a rustic gallery wall. We tried to balance what we love as adults with what will engage our son’s imagination and his feelings of belonging.
Whilst it is currently a nursery, it can easily be transformed into a toddler room by switching out the crib for a bed. One of these days I will be able to get rid of the feeding chair, but for now we still use it every morning.

I wanted a calm nursery with a vintage feel that Ellie could grow into.  My cousin and aunt are talented decorators and offered to help design the space.  We decided to go with light yellow on the walls, and we loved the chevron stencil that we used.  Pops of color were added with the dresser, wall decor, curtains, crib skirt and pillows.
