Friday Family-Friendly Find: Incy Metal Cribs
So glad to be back after a little six-week ‘vacation’ for Friday Family-Friendly Finds! When I did the One Room Challenge last fall, I had just started this feature, so I kept doing them and had three blog posts per week during that time. It was a little too much! Anyway, I’m happy to feature…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: DwellStudio Vanderbilt Convertible Crib
I’m sorry for skipping out on my Tuesday blog post this week. My posting schedule has not changed; I just had a momentary case of creative and writer’s block. All better now! Days of sourcing fabrics for client projects (like today) tend to get the juices flowing again :). Onward… I am a big fan…
Read More7 Cribs With Traditional Style (plus, an announcement!)
Well, hello there! I’ve been on hiatus for awhile, which happens from time to time, but I always come back to blog when inspiration strikes. I’ve been busy in general, but one of my main activities in recent weeks has been designing a nursery for a very special new client – one currently residing in…
Read MoreFurniture Buying Tips From Real Moms (Part 1 of 2)
Usually, the arrival of a new baby precipitates many new big-ticket purchases, including furniture and home furnishings – and not just for the nursery. The life changes that come along with children often include moving into a new apartment or home, with an opportunity to furnish it in a baby- and kid-friendly way. This can…
Read MoreNursery Theme Thursday 2: Goodnight Moon
In the great green room, there was a telephone, and a red balloon, and a picture of…the cow jumping over the moon. And three little bears sitting on chairs. Yes, by now I could recite the entire book by heart. For those not yet indoctrinated, I’m quoting Goodnight Moon – the classic children’s story penned…

Greetings, and happy Nursery Theme Thursday to you! Or whatever day it is when you happen upon this post. I’m very excited to debut the very first theme – TRANSPORTATION! Yes, we’re talking planes, trains and automobiles. And boats, horses, maps, street signs, and anything else related to moving from point A to point B.…
Read MoreColor For Dummies
I have to admit – when it comes to color, I am a bit of a dummy myself. After all, I am but a student of design, with my required color theory class still ahead of me (this summer – can’t wait!). I’ve certainly been guilty of timidity when it comes to using color, and…
Read MoreQuinlan’s Yellow Submarine Nursery
In a recent post (Oh Baby: 7 Steps to Decorating a Unique Nursery), I promised to post pictures of my son’s room. The theme we chose was “Yellow Submarine” – mom is a big Beatles fan. I featured our glider, the Dutailier Cadenza with midnight blue leather upholstery, in a previous post as well, so…
Read MoreOh Baby: 7 Steps to Decorating A Unique Nursery
When you’re expecting (and if you are, congratulations!), there’s no more exciting – or daunting – project than creating the perfect room for your little one. I recently went through this process myself, and I can tell you it was very time consuming, but very rewarding – not just for me, but for my now…
Read MoreThoroughly Modern Glider
Nearly ubiquitous in nurseries across America, the glider is often viewed as a pedestrian piece of furniture – yet an essential one. As a mother of an infant myself, I can attest to the utility of this piece. I’ve spent countless hours rocking, feeding, reading, singing, and even sleeping in our glider (pictured at left).…
