Who’s up for a pink, gold and glam girl’s room? My latest e-design client had an 8-year old daughter who wanted her room to be all of those things, and she also asked for a fun wallpaper accent wall and an upholstered bed. Because of all of the home...
Holiday shopping is going to be weird this year. The way things are going, it may end up being almost exclusively online. And you know what that means—even more longer lead times and shipping delays! Most companies are of course aware of this and have been working...
One of my favorite elements to source for a nursery is the area rug. It ties the entire design together while softening the space visually and literally. If you ask me, every nursery can use an area rug. Even with carpeted spaces, the addition of a rug helps to...
After such a great response to My Ultimate Guide to Blackout Curtains for the Nursery, I decided to follow up with more great blackout options. For this post, I wanted to show some styles with more color and pattern since the first group was mostly solids. Patterned...
It is rare that I come across a client who says they have too much storage in the nursery. You can never have enough! And just when you think you have enough, you don’t. Rather than overload the design with storage cubes and bookcases, I like to try to work in...
I love adding plants to a nursery design. It’s rare that I create a design without including one on a bookcase or side table, and I always bring them with me to style photoshoots. Plants help to add life to a space and can also function as decor to bring in a...
Choosing artwork is arguably one of the hardest parts of designing a nursery. Every client has his or her own style, and artwork is often a very personal choice. With so many options available, it is easy to get overwhelmed by all the choices. In my experience, it’s...
My favorite type of email is one that comes from a previous client, asking for help updating their nursery or child’s room. I love that I get to revisit homes, spaces and kids that I’ve worked with before, and see how they’ve grown! I’ve worked...
From baby shower through the first several years of your baby’s life, you will undoubtedly accumulate a lot of stuffed animals! Luckily, toys have come a long way aesthetically and don’t need to be hidden in the closet. Stuffed animals have become more...
The more I get to know The Little Market, the more impressed I am with the products that they offer and the great impact they have globally. If you haven’t stumbled upon The Little Market yet, they are a nonprofit fair trade shop who offer ethically sourced,...
The excitement of a new baby often brings a decrease in time and energy for self care and mental health. The addition of a new family member can bring stress, nerves, and anxiety (not to mention lack of sleep). Be sure to prioritize yourself as much as you can during...
I have never been a huge fan of animal print, but one of the main reasons for that is because there just weren’t as many great options available several years ago. Nowadays, leopard “print” can now can mean so many different things. This includes much more...
I was recently working on a nursery design for a client, and we did a little work in her toddler-aged daughter’s room as well. Her daughter loved butterflies, but we didn’t want to overwhelm the space with too much. I opted for some simple and very...
Every now and then, a project comes along that’s super exciting. I was hired to design a client’s vacation home, and there were 2 very large children’s rooms that each needed a full overhaul. The home had a very out-dated traditional feel and my...
2019 is over folks—can you believe it? I was just looking back at Top Nursery Trends of 2018 post and I feel like I wrote that just a few months ago. A very bizarre feeling indeed. 2019 was a great for us at Little Crown, and 2020 has some very fun surprises too. I...
With the start of the new year comes Pantone’s announcement of their color of the year. This new shade will make its way through the fashion, manufacturing and, of course, the interior design industry. This year’s color, Classic Blue, is a bright and cheery blue hue...
