Little Girls Nursery Near Completion

Hi friends.  I have not blogged in a while.  I am posting on Instagram often so please follow me HERE.  

Meanwhile I thought I would dust off my fingers and add some cute photos of a little girls nursery I am finishing up in Bethlehem Pennsylvania.  I have more projects I will post soon.  A lot happened this past week (gotta work fast because the baby is coming!):

My client did not want a 'themed' babys bedroom.  She requested a bedroom that her soon-to-be born baby could grow in.  We added coral and navy blue, along with bits of brushed gold.  We just installed the curtains this week and will bring in a luscious navy blue upholstered headboard and blue glider/rocking chair soon.  See our progress here:

All The Details

Whimsical wallpaper!

Black out lined custom drapes and a bench cushion!

Hanging drapes from rings allow you to easily open and close them with one hand (the other arm is used to hold baby!).

Bright and soft bedding!

Wall shelves to hold precious moments and trinkets!

I love using wall shelves because they allow you to change up what you place on them! Options baby!

Wall hooks to show off her cutest outfits!

Stay tuned for more photos as we finish this bedroom!

Other Decor That Is Right On Trend

Birds, birds and more birds are perfectly perfect for this spring!  Here's how you can bring a winged friend into your entryway:

Bring birds in through fabrics-so fun to use in an entry way!

You can get this fabric through Kuhns&Heller.

 Try reupholstering a bench cushion or pillow or two in this adorable bold Kasmir fabric.

Bird decor can be found every where!  

Another way to bring the bird theme is by adding a bit of a bird habitat, like a lantern or bird cage!

Birds are always in style, so of course, this Yellow Bird Cage from Nordstrom makes a great addition to an entryway!

LOVE THIS IDEA!!

Mix metal baskets with your woven ones!  Fill them with ornaments for Christmas, and see what else you can add to them for other seasons (like lemons and limes for the summer, and apples for the fall-use faux fruit of course!)

The key to creating a good basket arrangement is to keep it interesting.  Make sure the baskets have: 

• Different shapes, tones and sizes
• Made of different materials
• Odd numbers work well

Love these funky pink baskets from Serena & Lilly!

DIY PROJECT THAT ROCKS

Kick up the boldness of a wicker basket by painting parts of it.  Try turquoise stripes, a red cross sign, or anything you can think of!  It's so easy.  All you need is:

• painters tape
• some paint 
• paint brush

*you can also use spray paint

Take any old woven basket you have laying around the house, or buy a new one, then have fun adding any color to it, creating a unique work of art! 

And don't forget how useful a big woven basket can be!

Preview Your Frame Design Down An Aisle

I am sitting at my desk, putting the finishing touches on a home design project I am presenting to a client in Easton this Monday.  I am very excited because there are so many rooms involved and I am diggin' the design and how they flow well together.  I can't wait to share it with you after they review it.  I am also working with another client in Lansdale, helping her add design features and decor pieces to a few rooms in her home.  I am having a bit too much fun with the details.  

I found myself at Target looking at frames for her home.  I want to do a photo gallery that will fit on a very long wall.  I started grabbing frames and placing them in front of me, arranging them, adding more, and more, until I had just about the entire aisle filled with black and white frames.  This is a great way to preview what your frames will look like, and how much space they will take up.  Try this the next time you want to do a gallery of frames. Take a photo of the finished arrangement in the store, then when you get home, just check out your snapshot to remember what it looked like!

Like me, I am sure you will get a lot of head turning and smirks from people passing by your aisle.  But as one Target employee said to me after asking if I needed help 'as long as you are buying them, you can take up two aisles.'   One last tip, don't try this during the store's busy hours or people will be tip toeing over your collage.   

Decadently Yours,
