Let's talk about sex .... -

Sex and the City, the movie that is! I love, love, loved it! I do not care what any film critic said he was brilliant. The whole experience was serious fun. I could not help to notice that there were only two men alone in the entire public (I guess they were a couple) and 100+ other women were dressed for a hot date with Mr. Biggs (it was a Tuesday night at windy SF therefore provided a bit of a chuckle). Looking back, I appreciated the efforts that these women were watching Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda-esq in honor of the film ...

Anyway, in addition to all the fabulous fashion, I really enjoyed the game design. I thought Charlotte's daughter Lily was a very fun and entertaining room. I loved the nod to the legacy of Lily with wallpaper hot pink Chinese lantern. So cute! Charlotte Excavations have been developed to the perfection of the Upper East Side, it was undoubtedly the bedroom of his adopted daughter was equally appropriate with bright colors and whimsical touches. Production designer Jeremy Conway was the man behind overall design of the film. I especially liked the shepherdess peas. Although I could not find the exact chair I found some solid substitutions.

This wing chair pink chenille Bella Cottage is a good combination of modern girly meeting. Pottery Barn Kids has come out with a broader range of cushioned gliders. They not only pink polka dots, but also green damask and geometric patterns in black and white. This cute little chair denim wing of a baby and was the closest I found to little Lily. It can also be ordered in various colors and patterns including one called pink. I'm sure miss Charlotte approve.

Design Reveal: Cowboy Vintage

Design Reveal: Cowboy Vintage -

And just when I'm convinced is the modern way to go, I fall in love with vintage all over again! Children's room designer budding Carmen Raynor has a knack for taking the sweet innocence of the 50s and 60s and the creation of children's rooms out of time. Carmen recently launched its interior design company based in Sydney, Retro Rooms - for modern children! Here is an overview of the cowboy room of his son with a vintage touch ...

Jake, 5,
Sydney, Australia

what was the inspiration for the room
When I think back to my childhood in the 70s, I remember imaging cowboy on so many things belonging to my younger brothers - and luckily my son love too! When I saw the Cath Kidston duvet cover I knew I had found the room that the room was going to turn around. I chose the red and turquoise from the fabric and had lockers and shelves painted to match. The artwork is a mix of original paintings and old posters of the 1950s constantly trying ebay for toys and vintage cowboy. Fortunately, there is enough storage in the room to hide all the unsightly modern toys!

What best describes your decorating style?
eclectic, with a vintage touch.

Please share with us paint colors, stores and suppliers.
The color of the main wall is Dulux Plaster and shelves and racks are painted Dulux Hot Lips (red) and Jaded (turquoise). The duvet cover is Cath Kidston. The floor is red carpet of Freedom furniture. The poster cowboy above the bed is an old advertising 50s as displayed above the fireplace. The table above the lockers is by artist Bob Daly. The bedside table is Ikea and the Little Lighthouse lamp. The trunks toys, lockers and library were all second hand shop located.

What are your favorite items?
I like the duvet cover and lockers. I also like the original artwork-, it is something I hope Jake cherish all his life.

Jake the chamber itself is certainly a treasure! Stayed tuned for the scoop on the room of the daughter of Carmen "Paper Dolls" later this week!

A drive through a garage sale, a surfer on e-bay, a trip to Ikea and voila: A baby room design savvy with style and spunk! Simply mom Kirsten Grove of Grove shows us how she gathered a whimsical room for her daughter with a little effort, some help from family and lots of love!

name Child: Eden Jo
Age: 3
Location: Boise, ID

What was your inspiration for the room
Eden personality Jo was my inspiration. She's so funny and original. She loves the color and patterns. She is very artistic for a 3yr old so I need his room to be fun and whimsical.

What best describes your decorating style?
I'm attracted to the bohemian chic with vintage and modern twists.


Please share with us your choice of paint colors, furniture, art, craft tips, etc.
The walls are a neutral gray and wanted to enlighten them with the art that I had my father paint a quote on the main wall that I found out a greeting card . I thought the quote really fits his personality. I bought the cabinet at the pier a year ago and decided to paint the doors of a jet black to give it some contrast. Her bedding is a mixture of Ikea pillows and handmade. I bought the Venetian mirror off of Ebay for about $ 0.
Most of the art in his room Etsy except a print Urban Outfitters and a mom did when she was bored impression.

What is your favorite item (s) in the r oom?
I bought the head at a garage sale for $ 15 and it became my favorite piece in the room. I also like his giant horse that was a gift from a favorite babysitter.

Is there anything else you want to PN readers to know?
The fun thing about the room of a child you can not really mess up. Most textiles and textures better! The more art and antique toys, the best. Be creative and let your children help you and knows what you'll come up with.

It's alive! A Nursery Transitional -

In my last post I promised that I would show you the new baby room for transition year and a half years that got evicted from his nursery make way for his new sister!

Since the client was ready for the number of children of both soon and was not ready to take his son in a real big boy room, we used existing parts to reduce costs as much as possible. My client had the nursery Hiya Spot on the place and the meridian that was found in his home office. The only additional items purchased for the room were the work of art, carpets and libraries Expedit and accessories to the shelves.

She wanted to paint stripes on the wall so we decided on two shades of turquoise to wrap around two of the four walls.

Although there is no specific theme for the room (besides being fun!), My client fell in love with this series of robots and aliens stretch the canvas of works of Oopsy Daisy by Jacqueline Shapiro so we went with it. Since then, she told me several times that reported her son every morning and after a nap. Maybe they will have all the names soon?

PS After this piece was photographed, we added these pillows Adorable Robot Land of Nod to the meridian for pops of color in the room. I can not wait to convert into a real big boy room soon after it is formed and pot in preschool!

Makeover Room with sleep in mind: Part 2

Makeover Room with sleep in mind: Part 2 -

Last week, we shared our last design: A makeover of the room a little girl for the specific purpose of help her sleep in his bed. The metamorphosis, focusing on a few of our favorite sleep tips, was presented on the day of speeches show Doctors and product features available from Rosenberry Rooms. Today we share our top tips for using great design to help a child sleep in his own room

Window treatments :. From nursery to the room for older children, we always recommend two types of window treatments-a muting solution and filtering solution from light. During naps, light filtering curtains will help you to control the temperature and keep a child from becoming accustomed to sleeping in total darkness. However, using blackout curtains at night will allow parents to keep consistent hours of sleep, despite the weather changes that allow late evening and / or morning light in the room

Sound Control :. The sound environment in the room of a child is very important. We strongly recommend a simple white noise machine for all children to spaces (we used a large version Munchkin in this project). This will put a consistent basis, and to provide a barrier for other sounds (or lack of noise) in the rest of the house.

Bedside White Noise Machine

lighting: All spaces children can benefit from two simple lighting solutions a dimmer, allowing ceiling lower in the period before bedtime to "set the mood," and a small light on a timer. the timer must turn off the light before bed and turn on when it is acceptable to get up in the morning. This will put a clear visual signal for a child. if they wake up in the middle of the night or too early in the morning, the state of their light immediately tell them whether or not they can get up

is appropriating :. While a nursery is generally regarded as a space for parents to enjoy, there comes a time when a child is ready to have a space of their own. the transition usually occurs so natural somewhere between two and four years. When your child is ready for a large child's room, be sure to fill it with things they like that are age appropriate. Remember that, as they grow and become more independent, they should have a space that reflects this.

colors calming: Although many children develop in rooms all color palettes, if you have a child who has difficulty sleeping in their own room, consider a soothing palette of bright colors. Stimulation of bright colors can be too much for your little one.

floor plan: Whenever possible, especially if your child has difficulty sleeping in their own bed, create a floor plan that emphasizes the bed. If the piece focuses on game stuff or study areas, the child can easily associate the space with these activities, rather than the important activity of sleep all night

Scary Factor :. Lots of things that seem normal adults may seem scary for little ones, and these things should be removed or at least discussed. Imagine branches on the trees outside the window, a harmless hat hanging on a wall hook or a shade from the corridor-the simplest things can look like monsters, especially in the middle of the night.

Makeover chamber Our comprehensive daughter Styled for Great Sleep

Try It Out: the best thing we can offer is to try the room for yourself. We recommend that all parents try their child's bed and not just to sit for a minute or two. really snuggle into it. Is the mattress comfortable? the leaves are soft? How pillows feel? How is the temperature? And do not forget, how the bed smell? An excellent starting point for any comfortable bed is a flexible set of organic sheets. Finally, make sure that there are extra blankets and pillows on hand to take into account the temperature changes or comfort your child in the middle of the night.

Is the room of your child somewhere that you want to sleep? Is it comfortable, pleasant, safe and wonderful? If so, you are well on your way to using design to create an ideal sleep environment for your child!

Red, white and blue Inspiration -

with July 4th approaches, I feel a little patriotic and wanted to share some of my red, white and blue pieces on the favorite theme. This is a color very well to the nursery for a little boy or big boy room, and it's still so popular with my clients. Here are some of my favorite finds.

The best part of this room is definitely the star spangled carpet! Walls and pops of navy red are in perfect balance.

The costs and modern styles and classic nautical in this room is that it works. I like the background canvas beadboard it fits perfectly with the theme.

I like the pendant lantern in the room mixed with gorgeous upholstered beds!

If you have a red room, cool white and blue, make sure to share it in our gallery! Happy 4th

Design Reveal: classic preppy style -

My last design was revealed for a customer who wanted a traditional room "sweet" girl with a little preppy flair. To create the room of this classic preppy girl, we began by selecting a statement piece of furniture. Since the bed was going to be the largest element in the room, it was our focal point. Nothing says traditional girl as a canopy bed handpainted. It is whimsical and fun and a perfect fit for a room like this, with vaulted ceilings.

Four Poster Bed in Traditiona Pink and Green Classic Preppy Girl's Room with Floral Window Treatment

When I think preppy, I think white pique, ribbon and seersucker, so combined we all appear in the bedding and, of course, had to add a custom monogram floral pillows for the sake of tradition.

Seersucker Plaid and Floral Pink and Green Girl's Bedding

Then we matched the bed with dresser, mirror and library with feminine curves.

Some of my favorite details in the room are on treatment of soft-window bird finials on the curtains behind the bed ribbon detail on the blinds Roman relaxed.

Reveal Design: Bedroom Modern Boy is -

few months, we've had that phone call that all interior designers like get-one customer wanted us to come back and work on a new project in his home. We worked with the client on the nursery her daughter a few years ago, and now she was ready for the room her little boy to be updated.

The space was a bit of a challenge. Her room was small and the locations of the large sliding door closet and furniture placement difficult we really only had one wall to work with. The solution? We made custom built storage units, leaving a nice space between them to fit a couch. The built-ins act as both convenient and libraries, and there is additional storage in the closet.

Toddler Room with Upholstered Daybed

Our client wanted a color palette that was fresh and modern, but also had some traditional elements. We chose fresh white and gray toned down with rich red cranberry and gold accents. The daybed was covered chevron navy blue velvet.

Blue, Red and Gold Toddler Room

One of the most fun things about the room design of this boy was the theme. Although very subtle, we have incorporated the theme of music in space. This little boy taught himself how to search Mariachi band on YouTube age 2!

To bring some traditional elements, we added white and gold wallpaper behind the meridian and flanked by golden applique work since we did not want 't really have room for lamps table.

Toddler Room with Gold Sconces

Of course, we had to include this adorable little toy guitar and he plays it! We chose a guitar with a red accent to coordinate with our luscious red curtains.

Toddler Room with Built-In Bookcases and Daybed

The best thing about this design is that, with a few minor changes, the play will work for toddlers and older children alike! See more room in this modern boy in Little Crown Interiors.
