There’s No Place Like Home

Recently one of my favorite blogs did a focus on interior designer Robyn Karp and I was blown away. Not by the obvious talents for adult spaces, but by the rooms for children. They are gorgeous! He or she (not sure if Robyn is a man or woman) knows exactly how to take a kids room and make it innocent, sweet and fun for the little ones and still ooze high style for mom and dad.

One of my favorites is this little girl’s room ready for a toddler in the first photo, then change the bed and it’s ready for their teen years. Perfect!




And here are more of her fabulous designs.

Happy Fourth of July!

Just a few images to put you in a celebrating mood. Be safe and have fun!

Double Your Design Pleasure

Here’s a sneak peak at a nursery bedding set I am making for a client expecting twins. The mother-to-be is not even finding out what she’s having! I admire anyone who has that much self-control. There is no way I could NOT find out. I am the type of person who will ask to know what to expect, when to expect it and how.

Below are the inspiration photos she gathered to give me a feel of the overall room design. By the way, mommy has impeccable style and taste. This room is going to be GORGEOUS! I promise to post final room photos. We are having it professionally photographed.

Here are her cribs, Da Vinci Jenny Lind Crib in Ebony Black Finish (not her bedding). And the bold and beautiful rug from www.Horchow.com



Her window valence fabric, a black and flax linen.



And her bedding fabrics pulled from the luxurious Leontine Linens flax linen and red bedding.

Perfect for a Boy or Girl Update

As promised here is an update to the red and brown crib bedding. Remember this? It's the original rendering the client sent of how she wanted her bedding to look.

Here’s the finished product and I think it turned out beautiful! The red is a deep crimson accented with a soft ivory and chocolate brown. Please excuse my amateur photography; these pictures do not do these fabrics justice. The client requested red bow ties. Check. Soft cuddly minky for the bumper insides. Check. A tailored center kick pleat crib skirt. Check. Single monogram accent pillow. Check. And a reversible minky blanket. Check. Click on the photos to enlarge.

This bedding set is on its way to its new home and I hope it brings the family great joy as it was a pleasure to make. So tell us...what do you think?
