Boo & Rook

If you are reading this then it is safe to assume that you are devastated from a recent miscarriage but hopefully also expecting your rainbow. You are flooded with emotions swirling around from excitement to absolute fear. You overjoyed at another chance to become a mother but also feel a sense of guilt and dread. I have been there and I understand. This post is simply to provide you with 3 simple steps to begin designing your nursery and also provide community.

...The most important thing to first understand is that you cannot think of themes in the traditional sense, as in when our parents were decorating nurseries for us.... 

In today's design world, a theme is an idea or collection of design queues that provide you visual guidance and direction. It helps set your design path so you become more focused when picking pieces and it becomes easier to make those decisions.

This is the first question I hear from clients and basically anyone I talk to who is expecting. We start talking about budget and they inevitably always say that they don't know how much a nursery should cost....

Nurseries are one of my absolute favorite rooms to design (hence my focus on children's interiors) and paint colors are usually one of the first things that I decide on. My designs always involve classic elements with a modern edge so they will always be in style but are relevant to today's trends. These are classic colors that will be able to grow with your child and their room as their style changes.

I get asked a lot where to find accessories for a nursery that doesn't feel generic. So this is a collection of some of my favorites places to shop for those extra special decor pieces that really make your child's room personal and unique. Now some of these you may have heard of, some will be new and some you may not have realized they sell accessories or kids items. Happy Shopping!
