Sometimes when you’ve hit a wall in creating a room all it takes is a spark to jump start the process again. I had hit that wall in rethinking my daughter DC’s room (DC is 2 yrs. old).
The spark can be an object, a color, a room in a magazine. The spark for me was a Jodi Fuchs print called Collective.
I think its fun to display modern or large scale art in nursery or a child’s room like in the mock up of a nursery I did for my friend Amanda. In MJ’s nursery we started with a large photograph of a baby Giraffe.
I immediately loved the Collective print after I saw it and I thought about the girl’s room that Amanda Nisbet designed.
There are a lot of great elements in the Nisbet room but the print is a standout to me. I’m thinking I might want to craft a room around the Fuchs print.
I saw a large canvas at World Market of that exact same print – $99 I think.
What is that carpet in the second room? Must have.
Angela-The rug is either Jonathan Adler or Stark, check those sites
I see my link just showed up! Great. Love your blog. and Wonderful “spark”. Best, Lynn
Hi Lynn-Love to see pics of the house you rebuilt after the fire.
Sarah,
They are coming soon! I recently had my house professionally photographed by wonderful photographer Ellen McDermott (check out her site, http://www.ellenmcdermott.com).
It only took me 7 years :-) to get the interiors decorated to the point that bringing in a professional made sense!
All best, Lynn
I loooove that room….that would be one sophisticated little girl!
