Any interior designer will tell you that there is always that one special piece in any room that gets all of the attention. In a bedroom, it’s usually the bed. In a living room, perhaps the sofa. In a nursery, it’s the crib. When I first started out as...

Over the past few months, I was working on a nursery design for Jenna Kutcher. If you’re not familiar with her, she’s an incredible role model—a photographer, entrepreneur, podcaster and advocate for women, body positivity and inner truth. She’s...

I am not your typically girly-girl. When I was growing up, I had two older brothers who were more of an influence on me than my older sister was (I think I was just rebelling against her, because you know, sisters). I ended up in this strange space somewhere between...

A few months ago, the lovely Jessi Malay reached out to me for help designing the nursery for her daughter, Alessandra. They had just purchased a brand new home in Los Angeles and had a completely blank canvas to work with. The first time I saw the space, I was so...

I get design inspiration from all over the place. Sometimes it’s obvious and makes perfect sense. Other times something almost unnoticeable will sit in the back of my brain and wake me up in the middle of the night in a fit of creativity (that’s fun, but...

You may have noticed that I’ve been posting a lot of little hints about the nursery I’ve been working on for Jessi Malay. Jessi reached out to me and asked if I would help her design her daughter’s nursery in the new home they had just moved into....

I know—this blog post doesn’t have any photos. Don’t freak out! It’s a good read, I promise. One of my tasks as a nursery designer is to write a monthly article for Project Nursery. I have an insanely long list of ideas saved on my computer....

Here’s a little secret of mine—the thing I love most about my job is creating nursery design boards and renderings. I will get completely sucked into Photoshop for hours, forgetting to eat, fully absorbed in the fun. It’s monotonous, tedious and requires...

It’s time for another design reveal! This nursery was so fun to create, and I just love how soft and subtle it is. When this client contacted me, she knew she wanted something neutral and serene, and she loved animals. She hinted at the idea of a wallpapered accent...

Designing nurseries and kid’s spaces is a luxury. I feel incredibly lucky that I get to do interior design for my career, something that I love and that brings me joy. What brings me even greater joy, however, is the ability to help others. Sometimes it’s as small as...

When designing a nursery, it’s important to make use of all four walls as design features. Each wall needs to be incorporated into the overall design in order to create balance and flow. But there is also a fifth wall—the ceiling! I’ve done nurseries in the past that...

In case you haven’t heard, wall murals are slowly becoming a popular choice instead of traditional style wallpaper. What’s the difference? Wall murals are an overall design meant to cover an entire wall, rather than the repeating patterns of wallpaper. I love wall...

A few weeks ago, I was at the All Baby & Child trade show in Las Vegas, and found some gorgeous new nursery items. I was very drawn to these new velvet rockers with a stunning rose gold frame. They come in blush velvet and navy velvet, two colors that are having...

I still remember the first time I placed one of those 5′ tall giraffes in a nursery—you know the one! Those extra large stuffed animals have such a fun and playful quality to them, not to mention kids love them! Because they are so prominent, they can actually be used...
