Design Board :: Modern Prince Nursery

With the world watching and amazingly just one day after the birth, Prince William and Duchess Kate emerged yesterday from the hospital to introduce their son, the tiny Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge (name announced today!). From the beginning, the couple has pushed royal traditions and now want to raise their son on their terms. So, don’t you think it’s fitting that the baby, who’s third in line to the throne should have a nursery that communicates this modern monarchy? I do, so I pulled some nursery items with modern flair, perfect for the new prince.

Design Crush :: Cynthia Brooks Design

While getting my daily dose of Pinterest, I came across a kitchen designed by Cynthia Brooks. I loved the simple, fresh and timeless feel of the white painted cabinets, carrara marble countertops and hicks light pendant. The dark stained wooden floors are a lovely contrast to all the white.

The image lead me to Cynthia’s portfolio, which is also full of beautiful interiors she has designed. Here are a few of my faves…

The brass and yellow neon lanterns by Urban Electric in the all-white kitchen (above) are the best. Love, love, love.

And don’t forget, there’s still time to enter to win a copy of Country Living’s book, The Little Book of Big Decorating Ideas!

Our Butterfly Themed Fiesta Party

A few weeks back we celebrated a special event for my daughter. She loves burritos and butterflies so we decided to have a butterfly themed fiesta that included pinatas, dancing and a taco truck. As you may know, I don’t blog or post images of my kids, but wanted to share some of the decorations. The custom multi-colored butterfly table runner was the first item selected and set the lively tone for the event. The bright pink peonies, vibrant Mexican pottery and handmade butterfly garland hanging from the chandelier were my favorite decorations.

The pink butterfly party invite was purchased at Minted.

Loved these individual pinata for the kids! Each child pulls the ribbon and goodies drop out. They would be a fun DIY project, but I purchased them on Etsy.
