Ages 3+

My Elle-girl just loves rainbows so of course this HAD to happen.  We painted the walls gray and then added all of the rainbow accents.  I made sure to have each color represented in the quilt in every aspect of the room.  All of the quilt colors are on the desk , bedside table, wall and dresser.  My husband painted the blinds to match the quilt as well, and it’s my FAVORITE part!  I am please with the result.  We do plan on adding crown molding at some point so please ignore the bad painting job.  :)

Addison’s big girl room was designed by her Mom.  A sparkling flower garden was painted around her bed and I added a few whimsical fairies throughout the garden. The flowers and fairies are bejeweled with crystals and glitter paint. Her name was also hand-painted to match the room.  The quote on the wall is “Like glittering dust on fairy wings, little girl dreams are of magical things.”

I loved changing Mac’s nursery into a big boy room that I call “Farm Chic.” Navy is one of my favorite colors and I added pops of green in the art, pillows and side table. For a touch of manliness I used my husbands pig mount and deer hooves hooks over the bed.

My boys are in love with all things Superhero. I wanted them to feel like Superheroes in their room.

Sound the alarm! What little boy wouldn’t love to be a firefighter for the day? For my little mister’s 3rd birthday we headed on over to the Westmont Fire Company in Haddon Heights, NJ for a fun filled afternoon he and his guests would never forget.
Rebekah of A Blissful Nest designed the most adorable set of party printables that incorporated bright, vibrant colors with a modern touch. With traditional firehouse colors of red and black and a hint of yellow, everything from the invite to the cupcake toppers to the favor tags really made the party “pop” inside the firehouse.
As soon as the kids got to the firehouse, they were allowed to check out the rows of engines with the firefighters. The kids got to sit up front and “drive” and had a blast checking out all the different types of equipment the firefighters use. The men of the engine company couldn’t have been more wonderful with the kids and showed them all how fast they had to get dressed during a fire alarm. The kids even got to try on some of the equipment!
After the kids met with all the firefighters it was “break time”. To make it an easy lunch, I got bright yellow lunch bags from the party store and filled them with simple treats such as yogurt, applesauce, goldfish, raisins and a water bottle. We finished up the party with cake and cupcakes topped with the most adorable fondant toppers from Cakes and Kids! They matched the theme perfectly!
Each child was sent home with a favor bag that included a delish chocolate lollipop from Suckers by Steph shaped as a fire engine, a personalized cup from I Have A Favor and a decorated sugar cookie from Batches. The engine company also gave each child a fire safety bag that included a coloring book, a fire hat and other goodies!
The best part of the whole day was the family ride through town in the fire engine. What 3 year old can say they rode in a real fire truck! It was the best surprise from the engine company and one we will never forget!

Colorful, fun, and bright event that brings the childhood board game to life!

Mila wanted a cheery and colorful theme for her birthday and she picked Rainbow. We brought in a fairy who did face painting, balloon twisting and magic show for entertainment.

This lovely event is very special for this family as their eldest daughter was turning 10 years old and they wanted to celebrate in style.  The theme was an easy pick since Mom loves everything vintage and shabby chic.  The birthday girl loves dogs, specially french poodles, so we paired themes to please them both.  The tone of the party was set with pastel colors, vintage flower patterns, polka dots and with that I created all the labels, favor tags, banner and invitation.  The use of doilies and ribbon was carried throughout all the setup and details.
We were so lucky to have found a ceramic figure of a french poodle to tie in the dog theme to the shabby affair.  Other items we scattered around were faux pearl necklaces, fabric rose garlands and baby pictures of the birthday girl.
For dessert we served french macarons, cupcakes, donuts, brownies, strawberry parfaits, petit fours and key lime pies.  A stunning ombre ruffle cake by Jovanna Valentín was the show piece to complete the look.  For the sweet floral centerpieces, I used Geraldine roses, Gerberas and baby rosebuds and mason jars embellished with doilies and ribbon.

This project was a complete overhaul from the custom upholstered headboards to the custom bolster pillows.  We wanted the rooms to showcase the girls and their personalities but also wanted them to be able to transition as they grow.  The rooms have great bones and colors that you can easily change the accent colors for a completely different look.

Cade is almost 8 years old, and with friends spending the night more frequently AND a brand new collection from Caden Lane, I thought it was the perfect time to update his room with metal bunks and chevron decor!

She loves pink, black, and turquoise, and so do I!  We have transitioned her nursery decor into a little girl room with not much effort.

To me there is nothing sweeter than an Eskimo kiss shared with my little girl. Her little nose just begs for them. It is this simple gesture of love that has inspired our Valentines Day event this year. We invited a few of her little friends and their moms to celebrate the sweetness with us.
A canvas painted in a soft ombre blush was the backdrop to our dessert table.
“Eskimo kisses” (Hershey Kisses), “Eskimo Pies” (Ice cream sandwiches) and “snowballs” (coconut covered marshmallows), Eskimo cookies and igloo cake pops were set out for the little invitees to enjoy.
The centerpiece, an igloo cake set on a hand-made cake stand spray-painted metallic gold made the party theme come alive.

The little Eskimo Illustration was modeled after one of my favorite winter photos of my daughter all bundled up in her winter coat with just her sweet face peaking out. So cozy and cute!

Hues of blush, gold and aqua came together to create a soft, girly party setting.

Like soft fluffy snowballs, tulle Pom toppers adorn some of our guest treats, and pom wands doubled as centerpieces for the dining table.

The girls enjoyed coloring their Eskimo Printable Color Me page and loved all the sweets!

A small Valentine’s Day party showcasing two of my favorite things: Pink and Chevron!!

The designs include a fun color palette consisting of a bubblegum pink, fuchsia, sunny yellow and navy that cheer for celebration!  My goal was to create a party collection that can be easily recreated for children and adult parties and one that can be used for any occasion or event.

A DIY ice cream sundae themed 4th birthday party to help us get through the cold winter months.

Inspired by The Movie ” MADAGASCAR 3: Europe’s most wanted”, I created this fun and colourful circus-themed party. The target in this celebration was to make the children feel like if they really were part of the  circus. We set up different game stations, where the children got to roll play different characters, as well as enjoy great games. The smell of popped corn, the circus-themed music and the ticket giving at each station, transported the children to a different place.
