Coastal Nursery with Stunning Paper Boat Wallpaper

This nursery was in dire need of brightness, function and FUN! My Clients already had so many great pieces, but they just weren’t working together cohesively.
We completely transformed the space by freshening up the wall colour, installing this wonderful paper boat wallpaper and selecting additional furniture and accessories that would really pull together a bright coastal vibe. The room now has a beautiful bookcase to display and store toys and accessories, a fun acrylic book ledge library, some large toy bins and tons of textural wall decor pieces, like the incredible blue ombre Lorena Canals wall hanging. The Captain art print really adds a nice pop of colour to the crisp white walls. We added a swan paper mobile above the crib, and I love how it floats gracefully in front of the wallpaper. Also, the various shades of blue that were sourced for the space add so much depth and tonality, seen in the adorable pehr cushion, narwhal crib sheet, light blue cushion in stitched Ellen Degeneres fabric and lamb knit doll.
Simplicity is always best conveyed when designing a space with purpose, and that’s just what we did. The result? A delicately coastal room that is calming, serene and perfectly practical for its’ sweet little resident.

Whimsical Adventure Room

My son is usually seen with a pair of binoculars around his neck. When we are outdoors he loves to adventure and explore. By creating a room inspired by one of his passions I hope he will always remember to explore, and be curious! The Ombre Mountain Mural was painted by me using five shades of blue all with similar tones. It really is a fun project that can be completed in less than a day! Creating a feature wall definitely livened up the Greige walls from before. I wanted to add in another accent color, and I love the simple pops of red throughout the space. I kept much of the décor neutral and simple so the room can grow with my son, I didn’t want everything to feel too young.

B’s Around the World Nursery

We wanted a nursery that was modern, yet warm and cozy.  One that had a unique identity, that didn’t look like it was a set we bought at one store or too “babyish”.  Most important, we wanted an element of fun!  Before we found out that we were having a boy, we agreed on the turquoise wall color.  I am not sure that the room would look too much different if we were having a girl; probably color punches of fuchsia and more metallic accents.  

First Day of School Celebration Dinner

This was a “First Day of School Celebration Dinner” I hosted for my twin girls to celebrate their first day of 2nd Grade.  Another family joined us for a fun evening.  This is the third year I’ve had a dinner like this and it’s a great way to celebrate the first day of a new school year.
