Forest Friends Nursery for Alexander

Description

When I found out I was pregnant with a boy I immediately started thinking of his nursery. Though at first I wasn't sure which design direction to take, I was certain of what I didn't want: "Baby CEO", primary colors, plaid, or anything sports related. I wanted Alex to have a bright and happy room in which he could transition from infant to toddler.

Design Inspiration

Being a design professional I have access to a myriad of cool products, and my inspiration for Alex's nursery palette and theme came from a wallpaper runner by UK company Harlequin; once I had secured the wallpaper everything fell into place. I framed the wallpaper as art, used it to recover a lamp shade and made it into memento boxes.

Decorating Style

My style is traditional with a fresh twist. I like rooms to have a collected look as if it has evolved over time.  I love to combine different pieces, styles, and textures.
