Canyon Crest: Nursery Suite

Hello Loverlies! I'm hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I'll be posting pics of my explorations of Downtown Columbus I took over the weekend, but first, 

we need to get through a few more reveals.  Today's reveal is on the 

CANYON CREST NURSERY SUITE.

This precious baby was my client's first girl so the client had two request:

PINK AND PURPLE. 

These colors can be tricky to work with, as they can get too 'little girl' real fast. 

There is definitely a fine line between chic and saccharine. 

Our first jumping off point was the amazing Anna French wallpaper from Thibaut.  

The pretty calla lily print on a light purple irridescent background is jaw dropping in person.  

I paired this paper with Benjamin Moore's Pink Cloud paint and we had
the perfect background for this little princess's room.

A fluffy flokati rug and relaxed roman shades in a contemporary fabric help 

keep this room youthful but not too childish. 

We had a limited budget in the en suite bathroom so we used some budget-friendly tricks. 

We swapped out the Tuscan rustic mirror for a chunky white framed mirror from TJ Maxx and 

splurged on pink rose knobs from Anthropologie.

Turkish-Barak Rug Inspired Girl's Room

When designing a child's room, most people start with the 'theme.' Winnie the Pooh? Disney's Cars? 

I'm not the biggest fan of this method. One, you're are limiting yourself to a specific style. 

Two, kids grow up. Are they going to be a big Batman fan in 5 years? Probably not.

I prefer to gain inspiration from an adult piece of decor and build a room that is youthful but not childish.

I have used wallpaper as inspiration for a nursery, a chandelier for a shared bedroom, and here, I'm using a
 TURKISH-BARAK RUG to INSPIRE A GIRL'S BEDROOM.

I don't know about you but I would be just as happy in this room at 20 as I would be at 8.

Pink: Corals to Honeysuckle

I a self-admitted girly-girl, but I typically don't lean towards the color pink.

 Too me, pink can easily be too sweet and too feminine.  Lately though, I have dreamed of bolder shades of 

PINK FROM CORAL TO HONEYSUCKLE.

 

 

 

 I'm trying to convince my mom and sis to make me this skirt in 

10 colors so I can wear only maxis, Ts and sandals this Summer.

No wonder Honeysuckle was the Color of the Year 2011.

 

What do you think of PINK?

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I hope everyone has a day filled with 

love, appreciation, and beauty!

Pink and Tiffany Blue Christmas

I stumbled across a single image of this 

PINK AND TIFFANY BLUE CHRISTMAS

on Pinterest and instantly feel head over heals.  

Call me crazy but I have a thing for non-Christmas Christmas decor and 

this home is one of the best examples I've seen!

Check out this eye candy:

Makes you want to buy some sheepskin throws and some candy colored confetti, no?

While I'm Out...

This week is nothin' but work, work, work... not fun.  I hope I get around to post at least 3 times this week and until then, here's another sneak peak at another client's room-in-progress:

Nothin' wrong with a lil' pink leopard, now, is there?

Eye Candy: Madrid Apartment

After a full morning of a spray paint fest with a client, my fingers are just about ready to fall off.  I'm going to rest them for the weekend, but I wanted to leave you with something pretty to look at:

Bon weekend!

Vintage Chrome Chair

My  heart skipped a beat when I came across this vintage chair.  Isn't it amazing?  If only I had the extra moo-lah to pair it with a pretty white Parson's desk for my future home office...

Grrrr.... so hot.

Buy it before I do here.
