Prima Ballerina Toddler / Big Girl Bedroom

This room’s aesthetic is so much more than traditional – rising above a purely one style to a precious fusion of classic, urban and vintage. We mixed high-low products with some DIY projects and got this Prima Ballerina, French infused big girl bedroom.

Funky Fresh – Toddler / Big Girl Bedroom

This client had been pinning inspiration even before she moved into their new home and already had a pretty good idea of what color scheme and style of room she wanted to create for her daughter’s new bedroom. The overall look was modern, clean and preppy with lots layering of pattern.
The room had a fresh coat of paint on the walls and ceiling; a playful pendant lighting; an old dresser for refinishing; two twin mattresses stacked on the floor; and beautiful hardwood floors. And that was about it, the rest would be purchased on their lean $1,000 budget.

While she doesn’t have her own horse she has ridden by our home on various occasions during riding lessons she takes from a neighbor.

The Edge, Non-Nursery Nursery

Millennial dad-to-be, Paul, straight off the bat warned me that they didn’t want cutesy cartoon animals or candy-colored rainbows. While on a FaceTime video call Paul admitted his wife’s requests for this space ruled supreme, he did share the one inspiration he had for the space – Shel Silverstein’s books. Specifically the illustration from the book of “Where The Sidewalk Ends”. It’s a black ink sketch of the two little kids and their faithful pup walking to the end of a cliff after passing a sign that reads “Keep Off The Edge”.
Now I had a challenge! The last comment before ending our FaceTime consult was from Paul, who implored me to, and I quote, “Shock us.”
This room went from virtual inspiration to a very tangible and well-designed space in just over 4 weeks. The actual installation and placement of furnishings and décor took several hours. As with the previous digital e-design process, these clients did their fair share of work to get the room ready which helped keep the cost of hiring a designer affordable.
“She nailed it! We thought we had a pretty tough style request, she totally embraced it, down to the little touches like the designer light bulbs in the custom pendant or incorporating watercolor pastels without seeming babyish.” – Paul Jarrett
We encourage clients designing a nursery to consider what style suits THEM best. This is part of the YouthfulNest design philosophy which stresses the importance of creating a space that makes parents feel comfortable and therefor more confident to care for their newborn.
