In the Jungle the mighty Jungle…

Not a lion, but a tiny girl sleeps here at night. One of the best things about a child’s room is the use of color! Orange and blue monkeys? Of course! Technicolor dreams are the most fun. To add a feminine touch, the chest of drawers features super-sized lilies.

Fore!

You have to be one heck of a golf fan (and have a very tolerant wife) to commit to having a course painted on the bulkhead in your kitchen. Okay, it is not actually a golf course; it is simply inspired by golf courses. ‘The Mrs.’ liked the look of golf courses but was not a golfer herself. That meant the flowing hills and manicured landscaping were approved; actual greens, sand traps and holes were not.

Nautical dreams

This nursery has a nautical theme. Mom and dad were on a budget, so I suggested a simple but very personalized approach. I used nautical flags to spell the little guy’s name. Children’s rooms are a favorite of mine because you can do a lot with a little, and I get to be really creative.

Best Distressed

A little cabinet makes a big statement with the right touch.

Waves of Lavender

This couple loves original art! It is all over their home; making it all the easier to determine their style and what they appreciate visually. This guest bathroom was still in the making when I was finished, but my design reflected the vanity, mirror and graceful curve in the soon to be installed light fixture.

Story Time

Across town – a little girl, five years on the outside, helped her Mommy choose this storybook image. Mom loved the swing and I incorporated the chrysanthemum design that was on her big-girl bedspread.

Turle Love

A little baby girl was expected to fill this room with life and love. Her soon to be parents were told by many that their turtle theme was too masculine. I agreed with Mom and Dad - little girl does not have mean pink and frills! She’ll shatter the glass ceiling early with bold colors and high energy.

Wine Country

This home is owned by a sophisticated gentleman whom is leaving his signature in every room. In the kitchen, he was looking for a subtle grapevine design. Something to draw you closer rather than jump out at you the second you enter the room. The dark olive background was perfect as a slight camouflage for the old vine and its few bunches of grapes.
