Wainscot

Our intention with the design of our first child’s nursery was to create a room that could grow with him.  We didn’t want it to be too ‘baby’.
Both my husband and I have grown up on the water and enjoy all the activities that go along with that lifestyle.  We wanted to reflect our love of offshore fishing and the nautical lifestyle.  Unfortunately, the majority of nautical themed nursery items are sailboat related.  Although we appreciate the beauty of sailboats, our families have never been into sailing as a hobby.  Creating a space that reflected our boating and beach lifestyle, required a little more creativity on my part.

The idea was to create a chic nursery with layered patterns, rich colors and crystal accents. Hot pink, turquoise, and robin’s egg blue are set against a rich background of chocolate walls with ivory wood wainscoting for an elegant, classic look. Ivory furnishings and artwork were used to “pop” against the chocolate backdrop. Floor to ceiling dupioni silk draperies highlight the dramatic 10′ ceiling height.
