Alphabet rug

I chose this project because I love the spin from the traditional baby boy nursery.  The  “Baby Bookworm Nursery”  was inspired by my my client’s love for learning and exploring through books, which is a trait they hope pass to their children.  I am always thrilled when the design has sentimental ties.  Nurseries and kids spaces are so much fun because I can really get creative with colors and themes.  Not only do you want the space to be aesthetically pleasing, but it must be functional.  Lighting and storage are BBI’s “Nursery nonnegotiables.”   You must have adequate lighting to be able to thoroughly inspect the skin especially with diaper changes and hygiene.  Storage is a must because we know babies have ton of “stuff.”

Robert’s nursery was the first room we completed in our new house. My sister-in-law hand painted the accent wall and I painted the dresser in the same color blue. The shelves are filled with sentimental pieces, like my childhood teddy bear, a framed Hermès coloring book that was a wedding gift from a friend, and Robert’s favorite book “Mommy in my Pocket,” written by his grandma. The gallery wall is a collection of pictures and frames from different places that I’ve collected over the year, including Pop Art prints of our two dogs Moose and Bear. There’s a lot going on in this room but somehow I think it all works!
*Please note the room was styled for these photos – the plant is not normally within reach of the crib.
