Description
Lowe's sewing nursery is girly without over the top frills. I wanted to keep things simple and calming.
Design Inspiration
My grandmother (Lowe's great-grandmother) has been a seamstress for many many years. She has tons of patterns and was planning on giving away some of the older ones. My mom told her to let me look at them first and I am so glad she did. the Inspiration for the entire room was around the three vintage sewing patterns I got from my grandmother. I love that the focal point of her room has such sentimental value. They are something that Lowe will cherish forever.
Decorating Style
I am very traditional. We just built a new house but modeled it after an old farmhouse. I like to keep things simple with a mix of rustic and vintage things. Nothing in my house matches. I buy and collect things that I love and that make me happy and that is exactly what I did in Lowe's nursery.
