A few years ago, I designed a floral nursery for Jessi Malay‘s daughter, Alessandra, after they moved into a new Los Angeles home. Well, Alessandra has a new baby sister who also needed a nursery, so I worked with Jessi over the past few months to design the perfect...
One of the things I love so much about doing nursery E-Designs is that they are all so different. This client had a very unique home in New Orleans with beautiful architecture, super high ceilings, and low windows that are common to the area’s aesthetic. She...
I am a HUGE fan of plants. I have them all over my home, and try to include at least one in every nursery or kid’s room that I design. There’s just something about that fresh greenery that brings life to a room (plus, plants help to clean the air!) That...
It’s always a treat when I get to share a new nursery reveal with you! This room was among a few that just made it before my book manuscript was due with my publisher last year. It has been about year since we snuck in a photoshoot for this nursery, and what a...
I was so excited about this E-Design because the client wanted to do a large-scale black and white floral wallpaper, and if you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that that’s right up my alley! When large florals first bloomed onto the...
With so much care put into creating a safe nursery design, the concern for a non-toxic and organic design is often overlooked. I find that many clients are concerned with safety features like sockets, sharp corners or fabric types, but there are also so many concerns...
Let’s talk tables! A side table is one piece in the nursery that is so often overlooked. It’s such an important piece! The side table is usually paired with a glider for setting a bottle, stacking a few books, a phone or perhaps a small lamp for reading...
I’ve got another nursery design reveal for you! This one was one of my favorites that I worked on this year because we had so much space to utilize. Oftentimes the nursery is the smallest bedroom in the house, so this was a real treat. The main challenge with...
This year has been eventful, to say the least. 2020 has been the busiest year I’ve ever had, in part because I was writing and producing a book on top of working with my clients. Projects have gone on a little longer than normal because of vendor and shipping...
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...
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you may have seen some behind-the-scenes videos of this nursery coming together. I used to do a ton of traditional nursery design years ago, like this pink and gold nursery, or this neutral and lavender nursery. Then the...
It’s been an insanely busy year for E-Designs, and I’m slowly getting them all up on the blog. This nursery below was a really fun one to work on because it has elements of so many different things. It’s a little modern, a little bohemian, gender...
I’ve been working hard on sourcing new nursery wallpapers to put up in the online shop, and this swan wall mural pattern is one of my absolute favorites! As soon as I saw it, I knew it needed to be in the shop. Black is a color that isn’t usually...
Choosing the right color palette for your nursery is a big decision. There are a ton of different trends and combinations beyond the traditional gender-themed palettes (you know the ones—pink and blue). One combination that I have been getting so many requests for...
Finding the nursery glider that fits all of your needs is crucial to how much you will enjoy spending time in the nursery. I place so much emphasis on recommending gliders that I know and love to clients. I always want to be sure that clients understand the importance...
I am sure you have noticed the terrazzo trend showing up everywhere recently. With its roots in 18th century Italian and Egyptian architecture, terrazzo has come a long way. The origin of this technique is based on the pressing of stones together to create a...
