Bright & White Big Girl Room

When we moved into a new home recently it was the perfect opportunity to trade in our daughter’s nursery for a “big girl room”. I wanted a cheerful and bold space for our colorful girl, but I also love fresh, bright rooms, so decided to go with a white backdrop and add happy punches of pink, turquoise and yellow. This room just makes me happy every time I walk by, and I love how it reflects the fun personality of our little girl.

Emerson’s Soft Woodland Nursery

It was so fun putting together this nursery for our first born. We wanted a feminine nursery with woodland accents.  All items were hand selected from a variety of stores to keep the room unique and personal.  Our idea was for the nursery to be transitional for Emerson as she grows.  Furnishings and accents were chosen with a less juvenile feel with the hope that she will enjoy them for years to come.

Sweet Carolyne’s 1st Birthday Party

We wanted to have a beautiful, fun party to celebrate our sweet Carolyne turning 1! Our “theme” was “Sweet Carolyne” (like the Neil Diamond song) and included a dessert table with nothing but “sweets.” We used different shades of pink and coral, along with gold and glitter accents. Most everything was DIY by mommy!
Since the party was at 10 am, we had a breakfast bar with some brunch favorites – mini pancake stacks, sausage balls, chicken salad on croissants, mini blueberry muffins, and a yogurt bar!

A 3 year old’s new room; a DIY family affair and labor of love

This is my daughter’s room in our new home in Charlotte, NC where we recently moved from a much smaller space in Brooklyn.  This move was a big transition for my daughter, so it was very important that it feel familiar and cozy, yet exciting and girly at the same time. Many, if not most, of the design elements in the room, including the drapery, artwork, and chest of drawers, were either handmade or painted by myself or a family member. It is truly a room made from love, with personal touches that could not have been found in any store.
