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!

Design Reveal :: Traditional Boys Bedroom

Do you remember this client’s traditional boy’s bedroom with the vintage airplane art? Today I’m excited to share images of his brother’s bedroom. It too is traditional in style and super cute.

The bedding, all from Serena & Lily set the blue, orange and green color palette for the room.  Benjamin Moore’s Paradise View was selected for the walls. It’s bright, beachy and energetic.

A trio of cityscape graphics printed on natural wood by Petit Collage were hung above the bed. Skylines of the families’ favorite cities – Paris, New York and San Francisco were selected. I love how the artwork adds a personal touch, while pulling the color scheme together too!

A simple, yet functional book rack was hung beside the bed. A great way to organize books and magazines if you have a tight space like this!

As parents know, toys can take over a child’s bedroom. Here, a shelving unit keeps the toys stored neatly in bins and orange baskets. A large cork board hangs above and is great for displaying kid’s art, awards and party invitations.

A pair of star hook for hats, backpacks and coats flank the toy storage unit. Hooks are a great way to keep these items off the floor!

I hoped you enjoyed this peek into my client’s home!

Have a great day!

Interior Designer Spotlight :: Jay Jeffers

Earlier this week, San Francisco-based interior designer Jay Jeffers was featured on Diane Dorrans Saeks’ enchanting blog, The Style Salonite. Jeffers and his talented staff at Jeffers Design Group are known for creating spaces that are luxurious, yet approachable. Intrigued by Diane’s article, I took a deeper look through the design teams’ massive, diverse and inspiring portfolio. It’s no question Jeffers deserves his recent listing on Elle Décors A List of the top sixty designers in America. I think you’ll agree too after from seeing a sampling of his work.

A headboard not only anchors the bed, it anchors the room. When choosing one, consider your surroundings. Do you want art to hang above your headboard? Then keep it low. With tall nightstands choose higher headboard. Be bold. Are you traditional? Tuft it. Prefer modern? Upholster it in soft smooth leather. – Jay Jeffers via The Style Salonite

In addition to creating fabulous interiors, Jeffers opened Cavalier last year (image below). The San Francisco home furnishings and accessories store showcases carefully curated new, vintage and bespoke pieces from around the world. In addition to the many luxe treasures to be found, it’s also the exclusive source for Jeffers’ debut collection of California‐made furniture.

And there is more to come! Jay Jeffers’ is working on his first book  to be published by Rizzoli in the Spring of 2014. I’ll be looking forward to getting a copy for my library!
