On Safari: Marvelous Murals for Randi's Nursery!

The theme for Randi's boy nursery was truly centered around several beautiful murals by Lauren Heinle featuring jungle animals. The rest of the room simply followed suit!

For comparison, check out these before pictures: what a transformation!

The corner where a monkey hangs from a tree was the perfect spot for this Hiya crib with natural sides.

The custom glider and ottoman were placed just beneath the hungry giraffe for a sweet rocking area.

 Here's a great shot of the fun fabrics on our custom glider and pillow!

For the changing area, Lauren truly outdid herself! I love the watchful expression of the painted lion.

 We chose a subtle blue fabric with brown accents for the window treatments. They look great when rolled up, and when fully extended for nap times:)

Plenty of storage here with this simple and spacious bookcase.

The deep chocolate of this comfy shaggy rug is the perfect finishing touch in this calming, animal themed nursery!

Lovely Lavender: An Elegant Nursery for Emma

I was so excited when Rachel and Justin chose lavender and pale pink as the color scheme for daughter Emma's nursery:) Lavender and pink are such classic colors for little girl's rooms, it was so much fun to update it a little and really make it their own. The room turned out great with plenty of special touches for soon-to-be-arriving baby Emma! 

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

 Here are a few before pictures to give you an idea of the space:

 The Provence Collection from Newport Cottages fit in perfectly with our design scheme, I love all the ruffled layers on Emma's new crib. The ribbons hanging the custom painted letters perfectly echo the pink ties on the crib.

I love this shot of the sweet reading corner, complete with monogrammed pillow for Emma!

We customized a Restoration Hardware pinboard to fit in with our color scheme using a lovely lavender fabric and pink grosgrain ribbon to hold photos.

One of my favorite elements in the room would have to be these mirrors that we hung from the wall using pink ribbon. Shannon came up with the amazing idea to cover the nail heads with little crystals;)

We couldn't have found a more perfect rug than this lavender one with white scallop detail. It helped tie the room together and was in keeping with our fun yet classic theme.

This unique print helped tie the bathroom to the rest of the room, and the words are just too true!

Light Up Your Life!

A special lighting fixture in the room can add so much to a space. It can be a focal point, or the perfect accent!  Here are a few of my favorites...

 This wonderfully unique chandelier ties in the colors of the room and the beads are a fun touch. 

(Oilo Lighting)

For a more traditional approach, I like the bold, clean lines of this pendant. The stripes would be just the right complement to a navy blue themed boys room.

(Stray Dog Designs)

The unusual shape and awesome color of this globe can add an element of whimsy into any room.

(Stray Dog Designs)

I love polka dots! This shade is a great way incorporate them into your child's room decor.

Even though this light fixture is a little more subtle, the scalloped edges and old fashioned charm add the perfect finishing touches to a room.

A Grandmother's Gift: Playful Patterns of Blue & Yellow

When Janelle called me to help design her granddaughter Taylor's room, 

I was so excited!

Janelle is a long-term customer and a wonderful person to work with.

We settled on using blues and yellows with more mature patterns, so that when her granddaughter isn't using the space it can easily be transformed into a guest room.  

(Beach Bungalow  Designs)

(Custom pillows Beach Bungalow Designs)

  Janelle wanted to be sure and include some whimsy into the space, so we added youthful artwork to the room. My favorite is the 'Dress Up, Dance, Giggle, Twirl, Play' canvas. All things a little girl should do!

(Custom canvas by Lauren Heinle)

A comfy room like this isn't complete without a custom glider! We used more fun patterns to really make this special reading corner stand out in the room.

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

The large window seat was a huge design feature, so we decided it needed a bright pop of yellow. We mixed the patterns on the pillows for more of the eclectic moment we had going throughout this room.

The furniture in the room is by Country Cottage and was custom made to our specifications. This beautiful desk was a definite highlight for me.
