Designer Look On A Budget

I love the calm sophisticated look of this room. It's perfect for a little girl, and will grow with her as she gets older! The white mixed with espresso floors and ceiling is classic. Throw in touches of pink and it's ultra feminine.  The base is neutral so whenever your child changes their taste it would be easy to add a new rug a pillows for a whole new look. This room was featured in Lonny Magazine's August 2012 issue, and was designed by Estee Stanley. You should check out the whole house it's amazing!

 Here's how you can get this designer look on a budget!

Girly, Girl Nursery Feature

I met Elizabeth from my E-design giveaway, she was the winner and I got the fun task of working with her designing her living room. She has impeccable taste and her house is all ready fabulous!

Elizabeth is also the owner of a shop called Pretty Smitten.  You need to check out her shop it has some serious eye candy!

When I saw her nursery she just completed, it was to cute not to share.

Enjoy!

How Elizabeth describes the room:  "When we found out we were having another girl I knew they would share a room. I loved the idea of having one wall wallpapered, and when I saw the wallpaper from Anthropologie I fell in love! Everything just went from there. I wanted everything else to be fairly simple so that the wallpaper can take front stage. Moving the dresser into the closest left the room a lot more open and able to accommodate two cribs. A lot of the other items are left over from the room when it was just my older daughter's. I love that its a room they can grow in...I picture two twin beds on the wallpapered wall in the future! Now it's one of my favorite rooms in the house. And I'm pretty sure the girls love it too...my 21 month and 3 month sleep and nap in there together peacefully!"
