Quinn’s Garden Nursery

Our garden inspired us! The room we chose for our baby girl’s nursery faces our back yard and our raised beds. The room also gets beautiful sunshine in the morning, making it a very peaceful space – just like our garden. I wanted to pull in floral/botanical accents, which is why we chose an accent floral wall paper with greens, yellow, and blush/peach colors. The rest of the room is finished in a green grass cloth wallpaper to add texture and to ground the room. I selected gold accents for framed prints and our window treatment to warm up the room and give it a sophisticated feel. We also incorporated woven textured accents around the room to warm it up, such as baskets to hide toys, diapers, and burb cloths. I wanted the nursery to feel personal and the details to feel special, so it was important to me that we collected the items on the shelves over time instead of just one big shopping haul at Target. I found some beautiful wooden toys including one personalized in her name, the books and stuffed animals were gifts or handed down from family, and I purchased the sun hat and wicker doll purse for when she is a bit older. We included some framed photos of a maternity session we did at the beach a few weeks ago.

Contemporary Shabby Chic

Holiday’s nursery is peaceful and tranquil, but still lots of fun– and practical too! It started out as a vintage, shabby chic space, but took a new direction along the design path as I incorporated some more contemporary elements. At the end of the day, Holiday loves to be in her room and she looks at every little thing which makes all of the time planning, designing, shopping and painting SO worthwhile!

Safari Baby Shower

We used aqua, lime and chocolate for this sweet baby shower. The dessert table featured the cake {which was actually missing from the final pics we took}, marshmallow pops, chocolate malt balls, lollipops (wrapped in tissue paper), mints and candy covered peanuts. As favors we gave wrapped chocolate bars and hand dipped chocolate covered Oreos in cello bags with coordinating tags. The darling banner features a lion, monkeys and an elephant and recycled tin cans held carnations as centerpieces for the guest tables. For more pictures visit: www.facebook.com/partyliciousevents

Gingerbread Birthday Party

For my daughter’s 3rd birthday, I decided upon a gingerbread party theme since her birthday is early January. Kids decorated mini gingerbread houses to take home and families also received homemade chocolate covered graham crackers as a favor. Our menu consisted of warm-up, comfort foods: blazin’ hot chili, winter white chili, cheesy potatoes, veggie pizza and mac-n-cheese. Sweet treats included white and dark chocolate covered strawberries and fluffy filled cupcakes with snow covered (coconut) ice cream balls. Tasty drinks offered were a variety of hot teas, pink hot chocolate, pineapple punch and juice boxes. For games, we played “Snowball Scoop” with cotton balls and “Snow Dig”.

Marin’s Raspberry and Lime

I’m all about getting the biggest bang for your buck so I totally understood when mom Joanna shared her vision to create a nursery with a some longevity past the baby stage. A modern yet fun space for her baby girl, Marin, just born this past October that could last through her toddler years. She picked out a sophisticated color palette of raspberry and lime and set off to find all the pieces to fill the dream nursery for her daughter. We knew it would turn out stylish since Joanna has an Etsy shop filled with beautiful pillows for the home.
