Little Boy's Classic Americana Nautical Bedroom

If you’ve been following along with my design projects over the past year, you may remember this sweet little girl’s room update with gingham bedding and floral wallpaper. Next up, it was her brother’s turn for a little room revamp! We updated this little boy’s bedroom with some wallpaper, sconces, and a few pieces of wall decor to pull everything together and give it a little more of a grown-up feel that he will be able to continue to grow into! I love how the "faux shiplap” wallpaper turned out and you really would never know it’s not real until you get super close! Instead of lamps, we added these brass sconces which go perfectly with the nautical theme of the bedroom.

Minimal Spa-Like Master Bedroom Makeover

Here’s a sneak peek of a project I am currently finishing up. This super minimal and chic master bedroom makeover is giving me all the spa-like vibes! This client knew exactly what she wanted, which made my job super easy. I have never done such a simple, minimal design before but I really loved the process. One of the biggest challenges for the space was choosing the right white paint color that would coordinate with the existing trim color which was a little darker beige. Before all the walls in this house were a very pale yellow (very 90’s- check out the before photos below) and we are slowly changing them room by room. Keeping the trim color as-is is a huge money saver in the long run, especially since the actual paint was still in good condition.

Anthropologie Look for Less Bedroom

Today I’m sharing this recent guest bedroom makeover that I completed for a client this past week! We started with basically nothing except a plain bed and transformed the space into a cozy and layered bedroom that any guest would love to stay in. I think everyone covets that high-end and super cozy Anthropologie look especially in a bedroom, but not so much the price tag. I was able to copy the look for a quarter of the price using bedding and accessories from Target. Their new Opalhouse line in particular has a ton of Anthropologie inspired pieces. We also added these gorgeous nightstands and headboard from Wayfair which really anchor the room.

Preppy Pink Little Girl's Room

Last week I installed phase 1 of this sweet preppy girl’s room project that I have been working on. My client wanted to update her daughter’s bedroom and make it more of a “big girl” room. Her toddler bed was converted to a full size bed, so she needed all new bedding and bedside tables to go with it! We started by changing up the bedding, adding bedside tables and wall sconces, and new curtains. I’m in love with this gingham bedding which is so girly and fun, but also something she’ll be able to grow into and keep using for years to come. We are also planning on wallpapering the wall behind her bed and adding some more accessories and pillows as well to finish off the space.

John Woodford's Vintage Southern Nursery

John Woodford's Vintage Southern Nursery

We welcomed our sweet John Woodford into the world on November 26th, 2019, exactly a week after his due date. Almost two months have simultaneously flown and crept by since then, but I am loving every second of watching this precious boy grow. John Woodford has slept in his nursery every night since the first night we came home, so this room is getting plenty of use. I wanted to finish it completely before he arrived, and since he took his time, I had plenty of extra days to work on it! There are still a few things I want to add here and there, especially now that I have a better idea of what we need practicality wise, but overall I love how it turned out. It’s the perfect mix of traditional southern, modern, and vintage with sentimental keepsakes throughout. I loved designing this space as it was just an empty, blank white room when I started a few months ago.

Modern + Minimal Nursery

     I had too much fun designing my first nursery start to finish for some of my favorite clients!  This super chic, modern. and minimal nursery is full of timeless pieces that can be grown into and used for many years to come.  My clients knew they wanted a statement wall in Hale Navy (Benjamin Moore), but besides that, they really let me take the reigns on the design.  My painter put together the simple gridwork trim on the wall and then painted it all one color.  The rest of the walls were already gray which worked with our color scheme and the simple gray crib.
