Even though I specialize in nursery design, a lot of my clients will ask me for help choosing a bassinet. A lot of parents choose to keep the baby close to their bed in a co-sleeper or bassinet for the first few months, so even if there is fully designed nursery, it...
There’s one thing that my clients sometimes say to me that I just love. “I want my nursery to be modern but also kind of traditional—somewhere in between.” I love that this opens me up to all kinds of options; it really gets my creative juices flowing. I had a nursery...
2018 has been quite the year for me, both personally and professionally. It has brought with it lots of new experiences, challenges and changes. I’ve definitely shared more of myself with you in 2018 than ever before (mostly on Instagram, and mostly because my...
I walked into a design showroom last week looking for some blush fabric for a nursery I’m working on. I told the sales person what I was looking for and showed her a sample of the color. She took one look at it and said, “Oh, you’re looking for that...
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...
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...
Great interior design doesn’t have to be limited to large rooms with tons of space. One of the most frequent questions I get from clients is how to design a small nursery space. Typically, the nursery usually ends up being the smallest room in the...
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 I...
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....
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...
[The following post was graciously written by guest blogger Tracey Clayton.] As a mother, I have always viewed my kids as royalties, especially when they were still babies. When designing a room for a newborn, some parents decide on “cartoonish” and overly fluffy...
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...
