This woodland toddler room was designed for my son when we found out he was going to be a big brother. I knew that I wanted to recreate a metallic wood wall I had seen on Pinterest and I loved the idea of a teepee! Navy and orange look great together and served as the main colors for the room.
This room was designed for a little boy to update his nursery to his “big boy” room. The bead board wainscotting, convertible toddler bed and dresser were existing. My client wanted a “celestial” theme that was not too “themey”. This drove the design in that most (although not all) of the elements of the design were suggestive of the celestial theme, rather than literal. This is how I prefer to approach children’s room design because it allows the room the grow with the child. Who wants to completely redecorate every couple of years?!
A playful shared girls and newborn boy room. The room was my sweet girl’s nursery, but I wanted to update into a playful and fun room for a growing girl and her new brother.
My son requested a shark themed 4th birthday party!
My little guy has been obsessed with two things this year: trains and airplanes. Since he told us he wanted to be a Thomas for Halloween, airplane was the winner for the birthday theme as the day falls about 10 days after Halloween.
This year (the whole year) I have been testing and trying dairy/egg/soy free baking recipes. Ahaan is allergic to them but LOVES cakes and cupcakes. Last year, we had ordered a dairy/egg/soy free cake for his birthday. Which made me wonder about baking them at home instead of paying fortune to someone else. So the whole year, I tried and tested numerous recipes.
When his birthday rolled around, I was prepared….more or less. I baked all of the desserts (cakes, cupcakes, cookies and cake pops). I also baked white bread for kids’ sandwiches (since store brought bread has dairy on them).
I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off. But I think it turned out good. I was satisfied. I also DIYed a lot of decors and signs to ensure it matched the color scheme I had in mind.
Kids had a blast (I think) and adults enjoyed (I hope). :)
We converted Reese’ jungle themed nursery into his “big boy” bedroom. I painted the mural when I was 32-36 weeks pregnant and Reese so enjoys saying goodnight to his jungle friends that we made it a priority to create a layout for his new Jeep bed that did not obscure the mural.
I wanted to update my 2 year old daughter’s room to something more grown up than her nursery but not so childish that I would have to change it in a couple years again.

A cozy, bright and colourful reading corner for kids.
We’re only in this house for a short time before we move to a bigger one, but I wanted to do a jungle theme for my daughter since she loves animals so much. It’s still a work in progress but there will also be a bookshelf and a net in the corner for her stuffed animal zoo.
My 2 year old needed a big girl room and this is what we created. She moved from her nursery to a big girl room, so make space for baby sister due in June. Her big girl room was my craft room/junk room/hold everything room so once we finished the room, I was so glad to see it have a real purpose.
We had a bit of a challenge with the size of the room, and the furniture the parents chose for the bedroom. There was a fine line between making the room look like it is all furniture or letting the bold colors pop against the walls. There was also enough going on with the fabrics we chose for the room, so we opted for solid walls.
My daughter Stella moved out of her nursery into her ‘big girl’ room with the arrival of her baby sister. While she is still in her crib, she sure thinks she is a big girl in this room, which gives her plenty of play space. I had a lot of fun designing this “bohemian chic” room which uses a light blue and hot pink color palette and lots of fun girly, prints. I tried to do it ‘on the cheap’ using Craigslist finds and DIY pieces.
When we moved into our house a year and a half ago I didn’t have much time to decorate the playroom, and over time it became a mish-mash of color, stuff, and kid clutter. Recently I revamped it with some paint, fabric, new storage, and new play zones (pretend, reading, legos etc.). All of the details can be found on my blog, http://namesakedesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/this-summer-i-plan-to-tackle-four.html.
Isla’s 2nd birthday party. Celebrate 2 with a Zoo.
My daughter turned 3, and we upgraded her nursery to a “big girl” toddler room. I wanted something that would grow with her, but yet still be fun, colorful & playful for a young child.
