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.

Wall Mounted Child's Guitar

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.

Design Reveal: Paper Dolls and pompoms -

Carmen Raynor Retro Rooms has done it again! On Monday, we presented her son's bedroom and today Vintage Cowboy Jack we take a peak inside the bedroom daughter Lola Carmen! With a little innovation and a great love for the paper dolls Carmen has created a beautiful room for three years Lola. I do not know if it is the old fashion paper dolls, cute pom accents or the glamor of silver coat that really set this room apart, but I can see why the chamber Lola makes her happy mom. Here are all the details on how Carmen has brought his design to life.

What was the inspiration for the room?
I grew up playing with paper dolls and have always loved. When I saw the doll tissue paper I fell in love with it and found it on eBay in the United States because it was interrupted. I used the fabric for a quilt cover and matching cushion covers. I then gathered the pieces to match; cushions, throws and curtains. Once I started looking I came across things in the right shade of blue in all sorts of places. I had the custom wall feature color mixed to match the blue in the dress of the girl in the tissue. I also found that I had two other minor themes running in the rooms: pom poms and peas. The pompoms are presented on the cushions and hanging in front of the curtains. Peas are on the border of the quilt cover and various cushions. I found old paper dolls in perfect condition on eBay and turned them into wall art. I also collected small images that were associated paper doll and display them on the mantelpiece, which was painted in silver. An art deco hanging mirror over the fireplace and a string of fairy light pink hanging at the ceiling. The floor is covered with carpet sheepskin and a red chandelier hangs from the ceiling .

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 Off White. The blue feature wall is painted in a custom color blend of satin duchesse range of Porters Paints and the fireplace is painted Oyster satin duchess. Wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside table and sheepskin rugs are of Ikea and images are vintage and source on eBay. The chandelier was purchased from Light Up Willoughby . The President was found in a second hand store. The fabric used for the duvet cover is Alexander Henry Sage Glen collection Paper Doll.

* We found a similar paper doll inspired fabric Hot Biscuit Bedding

paperdoll2

What your favorite items ?
I like the curtains pom pom, the work made from the original paper dolls and the duvet cover. In fact, I love all that room, it makes me happy!

Anything you can share?
The rooms of my children inspired me to make an interior design course and set up my own business designing children's rooms. It's still early but I love so much. I hope your readers like Lola's room as much as I do.

Carmen, I am quite sure that our readers will really appreciate this room take paper doll turn inspired by Lola. It is bright, gay and would make everyone smile. Thank you

hidden Closet space is priceless, we get that. But what do you do when your child's room does not have enough wall space? Ditch your closet doors for now and use your closet!

soon be "safari inspired" Baby's room my son is a work in progress. However, I thought I would take a moment to thank and praise the Elfa storage system! The room is on the small side and as you can see, the closet takes up an entire wall. Now that would be a big plus if it was a room of teenage girls, but considering that the clothes of my son are just 2T, one side of the closet enough. The Elfa really can do everything (Did I mention that it is still on sale now?). So far, he likes coloring at his desk, hiding his books and toys in stores and I enjoy returning his clothes behind a beautiful set of pink linen curtains.

Rewind a few years and you will see that we used the same trick for the nursery! With little room to spare for a large dresser, this introduction gives way to a lot of floor space required. More design tips: Remember to also paint the inside of the closet to match the color of the room. This allows the closet then feel a part of the space.

have any closet transformations to possess you? We would like to see.

Zicci Bea Bedding Debut -

After thinking about thousands of crib bedding options for your baby, it is a bit of a buzz kill when the time comes for the next step. Ironically, the selection of twin beds for toddlers is limited to only a few quality companies and most often, the very modern design. So when clients ask me to suggest twins I sometimes feel guilty for not providing them with new and innovative options. But last year, when I learned that a new line of bedding was in the pipeline, I got excited. I am pleased to finally introduce bedding options affordable with a focus on the design :. Zicci Bea

Zicci Bea is the collaboration of two interior design friends, moms and old competitors.

Design Board: A Room for Two Renew -

I think I have received many calls recently from friends who are waiting preggers baby number 2. Many of them live in homes not equipped with an additional bedroom for their new addition. There is always the question arises: "How do I decorate my new shared space" I saw the rooms that are half nursery / half-child and the design point of view, having a unified area?. is visually more pleasing that allows a smoother transition once baby # 2 grows out of their cradle. Extra bedding "big kid" can be purchased for planning the transition. Also, keeping the less baby design, allows a well thought space grow with your kids.

This is a mini-inspiring card, I pulled together which is centered around a mix-and-match lovely bed entire Nod land available in baby and teenage daughter ( there also defines boy). in this space, the room is balanced and harmonized with aqua painted headboard and painted cradle aqua. other possibly white painted parts could be a mix and match to optimize storage and enable the function as a full-size dresser with a top change added. If you keep the mismatched furniture and then adding a piece later will be easy to do. Instead of too much art theme, try the personalized monogram art to incorporate wall detail and whimsy.

1. Twin painted head - Turquoise Shed on Etsy ... I love painted furniture, especially in bright colors. It adds a lot of character, more if it is a bit hit and bruised over time, it is better.

2. Floral swirl lampshade - Rosenberry Rooms ... this shade would be a great addition to a suspended luminaire, it adds the right amount of sweet and sophistication

3 !. Wall decoration - painted letters -. Old New Again on Etsy ... to add numbers or letters are a great way to add a learning tool right on your wall while being decorative

4. And 6. "With a Flourish "bedding and crib bedding - Land of Nod ... this collection has many options to mix and match to create different looks ... available from cradle to Queen

5. Monogram art - Fancy Prints on Etsy ... this copy is ready to personalize and frame. I like to add a personal element to any room, more when you can choose the color ?? Bonus!

7. Posh pallet cradle pin -. Posh Tots ... this crib can be customized in a variety of colors to match your design and can move in a crib infant

8. Paint Colors - Martha Stewart Living Paint - Home Depot ... green (Aurora Borealis) pink (sugared Pansy) blue (blue Aegean) ... that sweet, sweet palette is colorful enough to satisfy your baby and calm enough to rock your baby to sleep [!

Tip: Draw with a non-descript theme and using various models help create your shared space will ultimately allow for continued high infant child transition

Behind the scenes with Tracy Davis -

Designer Tracy Davis, urban housing, recently downloaded this beautiful room for a little girl luck in our gallery. We fell hard for this room (especially poms!), And we asked Tracy if she would not mind answering a few questions about its design.

Tracy, what a beautiful room! Can you tell us some of the main objectives that you hope to achieve with this piece?

Thank you! The main objective in the design of this space was to create a warm and fun piece that transition with the child's age. Materials and finishes were chosen to reflect this objective nothing too immature or too thematic .

Could you tell us a bit about the inspiration behind your window treatments?

I love large scale prints. We found this lime green and white paisley Serena and Lily and drapery used as an accent to gently tie in bedding for a touch of color and fun. I really like trimmings, use them to beautify our flexible materials designs adds a sense of whimsy and delicacy.

We love the way you mix and matching fabrics. How do you find the right balance in the choice of fabrics?

For me, it is the balance the emotional and visual subject. The combination of fabrics in proportion and scale is how I realize that stability.

We are all about the little details here in nursery project and love these poms! Do you have suggestions for our readers on how to add a lot of knock-your-socks-off details to the rooms of their children?

My advice is to ignore the "rules." Add points of interest to both small and large scale. Investing in the details that are personal and go through them with reckless abandon! Have fun and do not be afraid to do something that is just a little different. Your child's room can be a reflection of your inner child!

Tracy has also designed a fantastic playground area adjacent to this room. Discover more details and pictures in the gallery!

Small space CupcakeMAG Revamp & Giveaway!

Small space CupcakeMAG Revamp & Giveaway! -

You can be seen in the room of this sweet girls in our current room group Month finalists. Today, we chatted with Casi Densmore-Koon, editor and founder of CupcakeMAG, for advice on how she mixed and adapted grounds and built a great design in a small space. Do not forget the departure of giveaway at the end for a chance to win a virtual design overhaul of your own!

1. How would you like to start your design process?

You must think like a blank canvas. We started with the small spaces trend in mind and wanted to make the most of a small space. We wanted to create great things, even if the space was small. We immediately knew we wanted to include the Emily in bed Raspberry Newport Cottages, and we built the color palette around it. From there, it comes alive! We sought the perfect treasures to fill the room.

2. How did you choose the color scheme?

After watching the painting collection Annette Tatum, I knew immediately that we wanted something bold and bright. We went with the orange and pink combo because he was gay, fresh and fun. Perfect for little girls!

3. The mixture of styles is a big trend right now. How do you recommend to get this look without overwhelming the space or making the cluttered?

This is huge, and I love it! It is important not to get everywhere! I suggest picking a main pattern and mixing in small amounts throughout the space. We continued to focus on the ikat print Annette Tatum bedding and built around it. Instead of ikat everywhere, we found a model as filling chevron to use for curtains and a small-scale model for the carpet. You would not do ikat over the room as it would be overwhelming, so it's important to find a good contrasting pattern. You can really make the most models work well together, as long as you mix them well and do not overdo it.

4. Best tip or trick in the design for a small space?

You have to think outside the box. We created the closet exposed so it would both fill a blank wall and create a great focal point. We took a shelf and threw down to use as a bench that can also be used for toys stores. You must find ways to make the work space for you, and just because it's small does not mean you can 't create something great!

5. What was the biggest challenge you faced with the room?

The radiator covers were the biggest challenge because they really just need to get out. However, with a lack of time we decided to do the work for them and we painted pink so they almost look like mold, but are not. It is a great way to work things just add paint!

6. Do you have a favorite room in the house?

It must be the Bed Emily Newport Cottages. This was the real inspiration behind the creation of something with great style design in a small space. To create more impact, we have a higher bed by adding a bed with Serta mattress albeit bed frame did not need one. Your little one is sure to feel like a princess! The bed really did for me. It is a beautiful piece! I also love the vintage trunk because of its multiple uses. It is a great find! And I like the look of the closet, I want a presentation in my room! It is a great way to show your pretties

Celebrity design Reveal: Room of the girl Bethenny Frankel -

Bethenny Frankel is a loyal customer of Bellini, and we recently had the pleasure of working with her on her big girl room girl Bryn. When we did the nursery Bryn, we did not know sex, so we went with a neutral color palette of green and white with dark espresso furniture.

Photo courtesy of People Magazine

So when Bethenny and her designer NYC Brooke Gomez came to help us develop great Bryn girl room, they wanted girly and feminine pink! Bethenny chose our collection Antique White Jessica, featuring five drawers, bedside table and toy box, paired with the twin bed Bellini Jonas. Bethenny loves to be organized in order to have the toy box by the bed for storage of toys was essential. Next to the bed is upholstered chair a child by our Angel Song of friends.

For an ultra girly feeling of light and airy and we went with the boy sheets PN contributor Annette Tatum. The wallpaper was the perfect complement to the still-fun house linen female monkeys (Bryn favorite animal). His lamp, the lighting of the Jubilee, is so sweet yet has a sophisticated quality to it with a crystal base.

Do you have a great design for the waitress to share? We would like to see, show it in the Gallery Nursery Project.

I have a recent baby room reveals centering around the beauty bold floral colors to brighten the spirits of everyone all the time cools outside

This room was designed by Andrika king design for a sparkling little three year old daughter. She loves animals, and pink flowers. The room has beautiful vaulted ceilings so we can have fun with color, lighting and lots of space for furniture. Although the model of floral fabric used on window treatments is a more sophisticated feel, the colors are bright and full of saturated pink, orange, green and yellow. We have added a whimsical animal print with custom pillows and desk chair to bring a more youthful spirit to the room.

DIY Painted Houndstooth Wall -

You may remember DIY beds for this room when I shared some pictures unfinished shared room of my boys. I managed to get far enough in the process while pregnant with # 3, then all the design came to a halt. Now I am finally decided things needed to happen, and with the help of my friends at Cutting Edge Stencils, I find the exact detail wall I had it Houndstooth Allover Stencil wall.

Painted Houndstooth Wall in Shared Boys' Room

This is what the wall looked like before I started. I painted white before starting the stencil.

The instructions provided with the stencil were super easy to follow. I took a footwall zone to start and Frog used tape to hold the stencil in place. I highly recommend getting the level-stencil clip-on makes the process much easier!

Painted Houndstooth Wall Stencil

This is what progress looks like. Fun right?

Painted Houndstooth Wall Stencil

When making the stencil, you may notice a few areas that have slight imperfections in the paint bleeding under the stencil, but I promise you, once the wall is complete, you will not even notice these areas. I waited until the wall was finished before me retouching.

And here is the finished wall.
