Geometric Baby Girl Nursery Reveal!
I’m so beyond excited to share a few pictures of a very special nursery, created for a very special now-8-week-old baby girl. She made her appearance a bit earlier than expected – in fact, I was slated to pay a visit to check on the progress of decoration of the nursery the very weekend she…

Happy Thursday! I would like to introduce this week’s featured nursery theme – Urban Jungle (minus the pollution, noise, and general hub-bub, of course!)… I have to admit – this one was inspired by the adorable Skyline bedding collection from Dwell Studio. I have been looking for an opportunity to feature it. I love how…
Read MoreDesign Thinking for the Real World – 4/14/12
Lately I’ve read on a couple of different design blogs that nursery themes are now considered passe. I have to admit I was surprised by this.

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.

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…

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 MoreTravel Photography: Art For Your Home (Part II)
As a follow-up to last week’s post on using your own photography to decorate the walls in your home, I thought I would share a few more examples of images that would work great in this context. All of these are pictures I have taken on my travels. Please note that I am an amateur…
