Nursery Reveal!

It was such a joy to design this nursery.  It's such a magical place in which my little boy will grow.  I finally finished it yesterday!  I was getting a little worried that my procrastination would get me in trouble but, the little guy has yet to make an appearance...phew!  I love how it turned out!

A nursery for the littlest man...sneak peak

With our baby boy due to arrive any day now, I wanted to show you what I have been working on for the nursery.  I'm all about a nursery that can grow with the baby and this room has many grown-up pieces that can move to other places in the home as well.  I really wanted a completely beige/white nursery but the hubs was having none of that.  So, this is what I came up with.  I think it's a classic take on a nursery.  Nursery reveal to come very soon...I'm just putting the finishing touches on it!

If you'd like me to design a room, I'd love to hear from you!  I am currently accepting new e-design clients.  Here's how it works: 

• You want to execute, but I do all the sourcing. 
• The concept and direction is what you need! 
• E-design includes a design board, ideas for the room and a list of sources so that you can purchase the items and get going!

It's Me...Again!

Wow...that must have been the longest break in blogosphere history!  For me, life has been a little hectic over the past few months....to say the least (a new job and a pregnancy that has knocked me out for weeks).  So, as my nesting phase is in full gear, I have undertaken a few projects that I plan to share in the next few weeks. 

But, I figured I would start with a walk down memory lane.  I have been working with a number of new clients lately that have asked to see my portfolio which has caused me to go into the vaults and find some photos of my previous work.  I have come to the realization that #1 - I am terrible at organizing and keeping track of my work and #2 - my work has evolved over time.  It's kinda cool to see this transformation over time!

So, this week I'll start with a house that we lived in back in Halifax.  It was a nice house; it had some really nice bones.  As it was a previously owned home the design choices didn't entirely suit my design aestethic however, we made the most of it.  We also knew that this wasn't a home that we would spend a while in, so small changes were made.
