Friday's Find: Uptown Collection by Nurseryworks now at GIGGLE!

Friday's Find is The Uptown Collection by Nurseryworks graced my Facebook news feed yesterday when Giggle announced they were now carrying the collection. Nurseryworks has a variety of uniquely modern designed cribs. This collection is a bold, classical design that is chic and different to others on the market. The collection features sleek decorative moldings, brass hardware and end panels that create a stylish look which is inspired by 15th century Britain that can adapt to any room. These pieces come in two color combinations of cream/black lacquer to create an over sophisticated look. Included are Giggle's photos because they capture the true "feel" of the crib.

Celebrity Nursery: Dancing with the Stars J.R. Martinez

J.R. Martinez and Diana Gonzalez-Jones welcomed their first child, Lauryn Anabelle, nicknamed Belle to a inspirational nursery that was designed by Little Crown Interiors. This nursery shows a lot of well thought out design elements that make a very cohesive design. If you are not familiar with J.R. Martinez he is an Iraq veteran who then was on the soap "All My Children" as J.R., and now we have last seen him on "Dancing with The Stars". Check out the different design elements below that make up this elegant nursery.

 

The design inspiration was "something subtle and breezy". The wall color is a soft ivory with a white-washed Cape Ann Hardwood in Rockport flooring by Shaw. They added a very elegant wallpaper by Tempaper in a luminous champagne called “Edie” Wallpaper. To top it all off they selected the Posh Area Rug in pearl by Shaw to soften the room.

The “Kudos” Crib and  “Mix” Single Dresser & Changing Station from Young America by Stanley Furniture Company was selected to achieve the couples wishes to have furniture done in rich tones with a modern edge. To add another dimension and a bit of texture they selected a custom upholstered Glider from Oilo Studio, Cohen Glider and Pouf in a velvety deep burgundy hue.

The crib bedding is light and airy. Freesia Crib Set and Changing Pad Cover by Oilo Studio.

 

 

The room is designed around the wall mural that graces the wall over the crib. It is hand painted by an artist in Southern California, Chelsea McGraw. This "mural depicts angelic images of J.R.’s sister and Diana’s sister—both of whom were taken from this world far too soon—sweetly cradling the name Belle." The gorgeous mural seamlessly integrates with the laser-cut wood wall name from Little Crown Interiors and is painted a shade of metallic gold.

 

 

I love this light and how it brings a great design element into the room keeping with the theme. The gold accents throughout the space really help pop the dark, rich furniture. If you love this Geranium Globe Pendant light as much as I do, you can find it at PoshTots.     

Notice the presence of lambs? The baby's initials are "L.A.M.". The lamb prints are from LA-based photographer Sharon Monstrose of the Animal Print Shop.  

 

The modern and sleek storage blocks from PoshTots provide the perfect place to store a grand book collection and toys.

There are so many things that I truly love about this room. One of my favorites is the wall lamp sconce in white. 

Look Ubbi Diaper Pail in Sand! Comes in a variety of colors. So far I love mine.

18 Months and Counting

I can't believe my baby is already 18 months old. It feels like just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital and just stared at him. I remember I would walk around the house and put him down in his crib or bassinet and just stare at this perfect sleeping baby. I couldn't get enough of him all bundled up in a swaddle. He is growing up so fast. Now, he is a screaming, running machine. I am extremely excited for the next few months when he really starts talking. . I may regret saying that. Happy 18 Months JJ!!

Play TeePee

I have a new obsession. I am trying to find the perfect Teepee to make for JJ's room. Just think of all the fun he would have playing in one, reading books, napping, and of course screaming. I just love how they are usually filled with comfy blankets and pillows. They looking so inviting. . maybe I should make one for my room! How inspiring are all of these I have found so far. Now, just to actually commit to making one.
