Projects

I started designing this nursery in March 2020, right before COVID-19 wreaked havoc on NYC. Thankfully, we had already converted our 2 bedroom apartment into 3 bedrooms by adding tension walls to our dining room area in order to create a small nursery.  Since all retail stores were closed near us, I spent countless hours online shopping.
When I first started decorating, I really didn’t have a theme in mind.  I just knew I wanted it to look elegant with a pink and grey color scheme.  Once I had the essentials (the crib, changing table and recliner) I started browsing sites for decorative items.  It was then that I realized I was drawn to butterflies, flowers and bunnies so the nursery eventually took on an ethereal theme!
The room is quite small with only one dresser that doubles as a changing table so we built a shelving unit above it to display all her pretty clothes.  We also purchased a crib with a built in drawer that houses all her blankets, swaddles and other large items. Since my husband and I were both working from home due to COVID-19, we needed an additional workspace so we added a lucite desk and chair which doubled as a console table.  My favorite items in the nursery are the chandelier which brings elegance and warmth to the room, and the mobile made of butterflies and flowers which evokes a sense of peace and tranquility.
The nursery has become everyone’s favorite room in the apartment as it very cozy and quiet.  My husband takes business calls in there when I’m out with the baby, and my son plays with his toys next to the crib so he can keep an eye on his little sister (and wake her up when she’s sleeping, sigh!)

I have been dreaming about doing a girl’s nursery for as long as I have wanted to be a mother. This surprise pregnancy had me elated when I found out we were having a daughter. I had a secret Pinterest board and couldn’t wait to start decorating and shopping.
Steel Magnolias is my favorite chick flick movie. I’ve seen it over a hundred times and still cry at the same parts. I instantly thought of Shelby and her wedding colors “Blush and Bashful” or as M’Lynn called “Pink and Pink”. I wanted a soft, feminine space with lots of blush with gold accents.

I wanted to create a nursery space the was both functional and minimal as well as chic and feminine without all the pink and frills. I was inspired by Livettes grey and white spotted wallpaper which we used on our statement wall. My biggest advice is to stick to your personal style and lifestyle needs. Be sure everything serves a purpose and that you love it. After all, you will be spending a lot of time in your new babes nursery in the forseeable future ;)

Originally aiming for a gender neutral theme, I couldn’t help but throw several feminine touches to my daughter’s nursery. After gathering “girls woodland theme nursery” inspirations from Pinterest, my first purchase for her room was the Crate & Barrel Little Fawn Baby Quilt. I used the quilt to guide my vision for the entire room. I purchased and printed the adorable baby animals above her crib from The Crown Prints, and selected ones with flower crowns to keep the theme going from the quilt. I incorporated the soft pink trim from the quilt throughout the room with the mobile, storage baskets, throw pillow and blanket. There are a few gold/brass splashes on the quilt, so I decided to go with all gold/brass finish hardware–including the closet door knobs, picture frames, curtain rods, end table, lamp and mirror–which added a fun pop to the room.
Gender neutral? I think this nursery has potential for an easy swap of soft pinks and flowers to deep blues/greens and more of that woodland feel I was originally looking into!

While a pandemic pregnancy is not something we ever would have expected or chosen for ourselves, we have chosen to make the best of it by using it as an opportunity to spend more time together as a family, and to prepare for the arrival of our new bundle of joy.  My 6 year old identical twin girls, husband and I all worked together on the vision for the room.  We wanted the room to be girly, but still relatively neutral and sophisticated, so we added picture molding and painted a majority of the room in a warm white to set the tone.  The floral wallpaper is the focal point of the room, and was the starting point for the vision, after which everything fell into place.  Designing this room has given me an outlet and focal point during the pandemic, and I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to slow down and make everything perfect for our baby girl!

Another one of my absolute favourite rooms.  This one was for a 10 year old girl who requested a dark floral wallpaper but without any pink.  I accented this room with gray, blue and gold. Truly a room that she will be able to grow into.

Here is a look at a space that is the perfect transitional space for a child.  This was originally designed as a nursery with a few options for growth such as a built in desk and a window bench with storage.  Floral wallpaper and birch wood shelf gave it the perfect spring summer feel.

The perfect room for two boys looking to get creative and have fun escaping sharks and using their imaginations. I created this room with a nautical surf vibe for two sweet boys. I wanted to make it exciting but also be a place that they can grow into for many years to come. The existing furniture was complimented with a custom wall mural, a grow with me modern desk, shark bedding and a gallery wall. I absolutely love this one and so do my sweet clients!

This is by far one of my favourite rooms. The room itself is quite small, so I wanted to add some interest to the room all while keeping it open and airy. I added two walls of this glorious garden floral wallpaper. Kept the remaining items very simple with a Jenny Lind bed and modern side table. The bookcase was a shorter profile so it wouldn’t take up additional rooms space. Character elements were added with wicker storage baskets and a feathered mirror (no longer available). Bedding was kept light with a blush pink comforter and a canopy overhead.

I wanted a play space for my own children that represented and inspired themselves. We previously had limited toy storage, most of which was dark wood that made our basement playroom even darker.  I opened up the space with a tree mural that was bright and inviting.  I added acrylic bookshelves to it to change out seasonal books and to entice reading. I had a custom wall unit created to display some of our favourite toys and decor. It had lots of closed storage to hold all of our books, puzzles and games and drawers and cupboards for toys. Investing in a piece like this was important to me as I know it will transition well past our playroom years and function for our family. A small kitchen and table were added along with some additional storage bins for stuffed animals and a slide!

We are expecting our baby boy in August. We live 5 minutes from the beach and hope our boy learns to loves the beach as much as we do. We wanted to stick with a theme that could be used for years to come and I think this boho beach surf-theme will be the perfect transitional space.

Hearts in an Atlanta attic nursery for a baby girl

Yeah We live in a high rise building in Chicago that has a modern city vibe. I wanted my nursery to reflect the contemporary style of our condo yet also have a warm feel. After looking through nursery wallpaper, I kept seeing floral and decided I wanted something more unique. When I came across the marble mural wallpaper, I knew it was the one! I started with the wallpaper and everything else fell into place!

Reminiscing the splendid day we had celebrating our darling little lady turning Three at her ParTEA! With liberty florals and fancy fascinators, we had a proper good time! It was a delightful way to celebrate the perfect day!

My son’s nursery is a very neutral, calming space for me. The whole design process took me my entire pregnancy, I made sure not to rush it, and hand picked everything just so, so that it would all tie together. I took inspiration from my already modern/farmhouse design feel throughout my home. I incorporated some greenery to soften the space, which reminds me of my wedding day. I also added in some gray/black geometrical designs inspired by the sex of my baby, and to bring a youngness to the room.
I knew I wanted a neutral nursery, one that could easily transform for a boy a girl, with the small details. I truly believe I captured that. When a sibling comes a long, it will be so easy for me to swap out the grays/blacks and add in golds/pinks if baby is a girl!

The arrival of our sweet little girl inspired this nursery. I wanted the room to feel elegant and natural. I made the greenery accents above the crib for our wedding decor and always hoped to repurpose them in my daughter’s nursery one day. That day finally came true!

This project was for my grandson’s nursery with the idea of him growing into it has he gets older.  It’s all about magic, imagination and curiosity.  Does it stimulate your imagination?  If so, I would love to paint a mural for your child’s room.  Let’s create it together.  This is an example of what I can do for your child’s nursery, playroom or family room.  This is called Aiden’s Dragon but it could be adapted to a little girl just as well or something completely different.  This is a stencil mural.
My murals are all about what is possible.  They are meant to inspire your imagination and your child’s
Please let me know if you have any questions and if you would like to commission a mural.

Who needs pink or blue?  This stunning gender neutral nursery is enough to get your creative juices flowing, and has more than enough inspiration for unisex baby room decorating ideas.  The soft color palette is the perfect backdrop for a well styled unisex nursery!

New mom Ally Ferguson designed a fresh space for her new baby, Brooks, that truly evokes a sense of calm.

Sweet baby Brooks sleeps soundly on his Washed Linen in Oatmeal Crib Sheet, made of eco-friendly lux linen.  The stripe design adds pattern to the neutral fitted baby sheet.  Our decorative Flax Linen Pillow, accented with cording, is personalized with Brooks’ monogram.  Washed linen baby bedding lends a tailored timeless appeal.

An abundance of natural light creates a space that is both warm and welcoming!

A small green wreath from Target over the farmhouse style crib adds just the right amount of color and a touch of nature to the room.  The charming framed name sign was hand painted by a friend.

White tones keep the nursery bright and fresh. The elegant white baby crib is a family heirloom, used by Ally’s niece and nephew.  Timeless furniture pieces give a nursery a refined edge that will always be stylish.  A tufted nursery glider anchors this corner space and adds a comfy spot for feedings and story time.  The darling framed wooden sign with inspirational message over the changing table is white washed for a rustic look.

White wooden floating shelves hold framed prints and favorite books.  Baskets are a great way to organize and store the multitude of baby things that need organizing in a nursery.  Darker toned wooden accents such as the dresser/changing table, floor lamp and curtain rods add contrast to the mostly white room.

Splish Splash it’s a Mermaid Birthday Bash! We had a great time Shellabrating our little lady as she turned 4. Although our guest list was limited this year, the pandemic can’t take away our mermaid state of mind!

I wanted something bright and Cheery that he could grow with as he got older. Also something gender neutral in case he has to share a room with a sibling in the future.
