A Baby Girl Nursery

Working on a little angel's nursery was so fun for me - a mama of two boys! Shocker, I know, but I am a girly girl and being able to express this super feminine side of me totes fulfilled my inclinations toward shades of pink! 

The lady of the room will be growing up with twin older brothers, and there will be no shortage of boy things around, so she definitely deserved her own feminine space. Starting with the peaceful pinky-peach on the walls, to the brass bed, and the graphic roman shades....with a Chinoiserie mirror and modern chest, its ALL girl! 

I am nutso over the Chinoiserie custom painting by Erica Lackey above the glider - its soft and soothing and speaks to both my love and the mama's love of all things Chinoiserie. The beautiful Renee Bouchon works above the baby bed were the first purchase for the room, and captured the color scheme we'd be working with.  We kept everything else light, and simple and clean. Its a space that will truly grown with her!

Out with the Dark, In with the Light: A Basement Reno

This terrace-level space was a cinch to make over. The client and I have too much fun, and making the decisions with her for a lighter, brighter, more comfortable family space was easy peasy. A neutral space with more texture than color, it's now ready for holidays and summer time parties - or even just Saturday football games. ;) 

The most dramatic effects came from simply painting - painting all of the kitchen cabinetry and walls and trim made the space seem more open and inviting, instead of dark and basement-like. Adding the pendants above the island was a maja transformation too! 

And I may be a bit partial, but any space with a Renee Bouchon commissioned original AND a full set of Leigh-Anne O'Brien's gorgeous oysters is on point! You guys go check out these two friends of mine and their websites - any of their pieces would make FABO Christmas gifts! 

Just for fun, here's the BEFORE:

And now, more of the AFTER:
