PLUSH Show Recap Part I: Nursery & Toddler Room

Photo Credit: Tara Rochelle Photography

Sunday was a fabulous day here in Los Angeles! It’s was one of those days where you meet wonderful pregnant people, great moms & dads, creative business owners and old friends only to finish the day exhausted but with a smile thinking…the baby industry is a great industry to be in. There is so much to share readers, where do we begin? Ok, I’ll fast forward to the end – Isn’t this set lovely!

Now for all the fun details, keep on reading! I’ll start with the fact that poor Pam threw her son’s 4th birthday party Saturday afternoon and then hopped on a plane down to LA where I forced her to stay awake stuffing postcards and filling jars with candy until 12:30am for all the PLUSH attendees. We both agree however that it was well worth it!

Our alarms went off at 5am and we arrived bright and early to the historic venue, Vibiana in downtown LA along side 40 other exhibitors and Project Nursery pals. We jumped right in working on all the tiny details to pull together the space themed pink and green.

Team Project Nursery made our presence known in matching polos thanks to Adrienne, Melisa, Pam, Andrika, and Rebecca. PN’s Gerri and Naomi were exhibiting just across the way from us.

Clearly, we are not shy about posing for the camera either! And this was just the beginning…

We warmly welcomed our awesome exhibiting partner, talented designer and new PN contributor (more on that later!) Lonni Paul of PetitNest. Lonni and design assistant Lisa used their magical designer powers to create a stunning display featuring PetitNest’s stylish Alouette crib, Calliandra crib bedding and complimentary Sophie dresser.

Coordinating fabrics across the way showcased a luxurious big girl bed, fit for a princess. The custom headboard was most definitely a show stopper!

But who can resist a gorgeous beautiful pink couch? We think we did a pretty sweet job of embellishing this scene with candy treats. But tiny Plush attendee “Lulu” made the space complete!

The celadon green linen Odette glider and reading nook quickly became a popular stop for parents and tots to put their feet up during the busy show.

Throughout the day our team enjoyed mingling with loads of people educating them about PetitNest products and our ongoing mission to inspire cool kid design here at ProjectNursery.com.

We were honored by all the PN readers that came out to say hello including our VIP ticket winner Andrea. Andrea was one very cool and calm  first time mom. Just look at how amazing she looks. She gave birth just 10 days ago people! We all came to the conclusion that she should have a ton more children!

Now I am sure you caught a peek of the baby shower dessert table from the photo at the top. You’ll just have to check back for those yummy details and many more great features from our wonderful day at PLUSH! And lastly, big thanks to the talented Tara of Tara Rochelle Photography for capturing these beautiful images for us!

    Great Job! Thanks for sharing as well! Couldn’t go fly down to LA to attend the show, so this post is great! Looking forward to the post on the dessert table. I don’t know if my eyes are deceiving me but looks like I saw mini pies on sticks!

    You got really amazing photos. And that big girl bed is really gorgeous, fit for a lovely little princess.

    Judging from the lovely photos, it’s obvious you had a blast and had one heck of an exhibit. And yeah, I agree about Andrea. She looks wonderful, and not every bit a mom who gave birth less then two weeks before. I looked nowhere near that when I had given birth two months ago.
