Nursery Interior Design Projects

I am so blessed to have such an enjoyable career. Not only do I have the opportunity to create something new and beautiful every day...something that makes people smile, touches their hearts, and brings them ongoing comfort and joy- but through that creative design process, I get to know some really wonderful families.
I'm currently working on three full nursery interior design projects, as well as two cyber design projects and all of these clients are fantastic and I'm thrilled with how things are coming along with each project.

One of my clients has been working on adopting a baby and hired me about two months ago to design a gender neutral nursery because she really didn't care what the gender of her baby would be...she just wanted a healthy baby to love. She has had her trials and heartbreaks throughout the process of adopting, so when I was hired to designer her nursery- I wanted the design process to be especially easy for her.
We designed a classic nursery that could work well for either a boy or a girl and have ordered and received most of the items. A few weeks ago,  my client found a birth mother and has been patiently waiting for her first sonogram to discover the gender of her baby.  We sat back and waited...
Well this week we got the news that we'll be welcoming a baby GIRL!  Baby Girl is due in early July, so we're now selecting the finishing touches to really "girl up" this nursery. Mom-to-Be loves a classic French Country look, so we've selected some beautiful artwork from my dear friend, Heather Davulcu and will custom color match this artwork with a deep chocolate brown where you see black in the images here. 
I'll then paint a beautiful flowing ribbon in cream and ivory across the crib wall as a feminine, yet simple backdrop for this stunning artwork. We'll add a few rose colored accessories and voila! A perfectly feminine and classic nursery for one lucky baby girl! Stay tuned in the months ahead to see images of the completed nursery!

At Jack and Jill Interiors, it is always our goal to alleviate stress and worry from the lives of expectant parents and instead ensure your experience preparing a nursery is fun and stress free. Yes, many can and will "do it yourself" and in many cases end up with a good nursery.  However when you hire an experienced nursery designer, you get to sit back and enjoy the process while we handle the sourcing, ordering, receiving, inspecting, exchanging or returning if something arrives damaged- payment, tracking, delivery and installation. Our experience and connections with quality manufacturers and contractors saves our clients countless headaches during a time of life altering transition so that the client can relax and anticipate the arrival of their baby with the least amount of stress possible. In the end, it's all about love and family...and for me the greatest reward is being a small part of these miraculous moments in my clients' lives- and ultimately, holding the BABIES! :)

Architectural Digest Design Show

I had a fantastic time attending the Architectural Digest Design Show in New York City last week with my dear friend, Mary Bauer, owner of the super chic line of nursery furniture, Bratt Decor!
Mary and I explored the entire show top to bottom and front to back- checking out all of the greatest in design. Our conclusion is that traditional, classic, timeless style is always hot! We saw lots of worn patina, weathered wood, traditional fabrics and patterns and great use of color.
You can view some of the highlights in the video clip below, as well as some photos of the areas we didn't film.
Enjoy!

$10K Military Nursery Give Away- Reveal!

This past spring, Mary Bauer of Bratt Decor and I decided to team up to show our love and support for our troops by giving away a $10K dream nursery makeover to a deserving service man or woman. Just in time for Memorial Day, we put out a call for nominations and received some wonderful video clips featuring men and women who sacrifice for our freedom daily.
 

We chose Carlos and Marlene Altamirano as our winners. Their friends put together such a beautiful video clip describing this wonderful couple and we couldn't wait to begin working on their nursery!
 

We were also touched by the generous donations of nursery products from our friends in the children's industry.
Doodlefish Kids donated the ivory rug, Charn and Company donated the nursery chandelier, Stacie Dale donated a beautiful memory keepsake box, Olena Boyko designed and donated the nursery curtains, moses basket and sweet bunny, Dimples and Dandelions designed and donated the plush nursery glider rocker by Angel Song and Bratt Decor donated the beautiful iron crib, changing table and bedding. Jack and Jill Interiors interviewed the couple to determine their design style and helped to select and coordinate the nursery products and paints. We then provided floor plans and storyboards for the couple so they could see their nursery come to life while they awaited the arrival of their furnishings. Thank you so much to our generous donors!
We are very pleased with the way this nursery came together to create a warm and serene environment for their baby boy, Carlos Altamirano who was born on September 3rd. 

Check out the finished nursery! Kelly Orr, of Shutterbug Portrait Studio was so kind as to take these great photos for us! Thanks, Kelly!
