Nursery Transformation- Baby Boy nursery with blue dresser

I am happy to share this recent nursery transformation for a sweet baby boy. The color palette is so soothing with a mix of neutrals and a pop of blue with the dresser.

The dresser is probably my favorite part and I love how the wooden mirror complements the crib.

Here is where we started with this room which used to serve as a guest bedroom/ office.

The rug is so cozy with a subtle design and drapes have a fun pattern- I love how they are reflected in the mirror.

My favorite decor pieces for a foyer / entryway

I love decorating foyers and entryways for my clients. It is the first thing that people see when entering a home. Sometimes the space needs to serve a functional purpose for storing coats and shoes, and other times the foyer just has an empty wall for something decorative.

For this client, the goal was a place for people to take off shoes on a comfortable and sturdy bench. And the hooks allow for the storage of some smaller items since there is a coat closet in the space as well.

When adding a cabinet or console table, a mirror is the perfect thing to place above it. Having a spot to check your appearance before leaving the house is so practical.

Here are some of my favorite pieces that I love to use in a foyer / entryway.

Bergen County Bathroom Renovation - Amazing Wall Tile with brass accents

Today I am so happy to share a recently renovated Bergen County bathroom. We selected a beautiful tile for the shower wall that really steals the show. We used brass fixtures for the shower and the sink faucet for a glam look and I love the result!

I love the variation in color of the tile. As soon as we found it in the tile store, we knew it was the winner!

Now let’s take a step back and zoom out to see more of the finished space which features a large vanity and mixed metals of black with brass.

Here is the before photo:

We simplified the floor to let the wall tile in the shower really shine. And we added a sconce over the new (smaller) mirror for an updated look.

What are the best sources for Wallpaper? The Ultimate Wallpaper Guide

I love using wallpaper and am always excited when a client tells me that they are up for incorporating it into a space in their home. Typically I have tended to use wallpaper in powder rooms and dining rooms, but lately I have used it in a couple of bedrooms and an office. It makes such an impact even if you go with a more subtle paper.

Here is a roundup of some of my favorite places to find wallpaper!

I’ll start with York Wallcoverings which is the company that makes this beautiful paper we used in my client’s home office. I love that this paper has a bit of golden shimmer to it and yet still works so well in this masculine space.

Next up is Serena & Lily ! We used this paper as an accent wall behind my client’s bed and it is so subtle but really makes the room sing. I have another bedroom project ongoing right now and we just had a Serena and Lily grasscloth paper installed - I can’t wait to share the finished room photos.

Phillip Jeffries has SO many options that I love and is my first choice when a client wants to go BOLD and dramatic. I love how we transformed both of these bathroom by incorporating their fabulous patterns.

Graham and Brown makes so many fun options and this one was the winner for my client’s dining room. We also installed the wall paneling because I think this type of pattern could get a bit too busy if it were floor to ceiling in a space this large.

I love Anthropologie for their fashion and home decor, but they also sell some playful and whimsical wallpaper.

Where are your favorite places to shop for wallpaper? Are you planning to use wallpaper in your home this year?
