Regal Crown Monogram Plaques, Royal Princess Decor

Our original Regal Crown Monogram Plaques have been a favorite among celebrity moms and mom's in general since Sherri Blum created the original design in 2002 for a twins nursery she designed for a baby boy and girl. Shortly thereafter, celebrity nursery clients like Bart Scott (then of the Baltimore Ravens and now with the NY Jets) and his lovely wife Starr, as well as Lisa and Buddy Valastro of TLC's The Cake Boss Show, wanted Sherri's Royal Crown plaque in their little princess nurseries and princess rooms. 

While staying true to our original shape and design concept, we have recently improved the quality of our royal crowns. They are now 100% WOOD and of substantial thickness and size. These beauties are meticulously hand-painted and made in the USA by talented artisans. Customize with over 27 color combinations and various font styles, or select a custom color to match your nursery decor perfectly!

Wendy Bellissimo!

When I started Jack and Jill Interiors back in 2001, there were very few other designers who were specializing in nursery and/or kids' room design. I had been busily designing dining rooms, living rooms, kitchens and more for a few years with my original company, Bare Walls Design Co. But as time went on and I was given the opportunity to decorate a few nurseries, I found that this was my true calling and decided to start a second company that focused only on nurseries and children's spaces.
I did some research online at the time and only found one person with a strong web presence...Wendy Bellissimo. Anyone who had decorated their baby's nursery, knew who she was and I was about to follow in her footsteps.
Wendy has met with huge success over the years and fortunately, my company has grown by leaps and bounds, also. I've always admired Wendy's strong sense of family and her impeccable taste in design, so when I was contacted by her company several weeks ago to be her Nursery Decor Expert for Nesting, I was thrilled and so very honored!

Please visit Nesting.com and consider joining. It's a fantastic forum for mothers and allows you to link up with similar women, discuss child-rearing issues and make lasting friendships. And while you're there, stop by my new page as one of Wendy's Knowledge Nest Experts and read the articles I've written there.

Happy Decorating,
Sherri

Designing a Gender Neutral Nursery

I'm just returning from a quick but EXTREMELY FUN trip to the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas. Once I recover from the jet lag and get a few minutes away from working on my super-cool client's nursery and kids' rooms- I promise I'll fill  you in on all I experienced!

Modern Berries by Oilo

As for now, I'd like to share my latest blog post for Home Workshop about Designing a Gender Neutral Nursery. I find more and more people (celebrities included!) waiting to find out the sex of their babies. This makes the job of a nursery designer a bit tricky, in that I really have to be careful to select furnishings and accessories that don't bend too far toward girl or boy.
Luckily, there are some EXQUISITE nursery furnishings and accessories available today, including wall art - that are perfect for a gender neutral nursery.
See the entire article here: Designing a Gender Neutral Nursery
Enjoy!

Happy Customers Make My World Go Round!

I love both of my "jobs"...in fact I love what I do so much that it feels awkward calling it a "job"! I absolutely love having a blank canvas in front of me -whether it be a new nursery to decorate or a canvas for one of my wall hanging designs. I love creating and hope that my designs will bring smiles to the faces of all who see them and enjoy them in their homes each day.
So you can only imagine how rewarding it is to receive feedback from my happy clients and customers! And when they send photos of my nursery wall art hung proudly in their nurseries, I get that warm and fuzzy feeling all over! Yes, my "jobs" are fun, no matter how you slice it!
I just received a new image of my Tea Party Wall Hanging as used in a new nursery and thought I'd share some of these great customer photos with you today. If you have a Sherri Blum Designs canvas in your home, I'd love to see it and receive your feedback. If you have any suggestions for a new design, I also welcome that. Some of my best selling products have been suggested by customers and my retailers.
In the meanwhile, enjoy these happy customer photos while I put my brush to four new canvases! Yes...I have some great new designs I'm working on this week and I promise I'll share as soon as I'm able!

Sherri Blum's Products in People Magazine!

I've been bursting at the seams just waiting to tell you all about my exciting news!

A few weeks ago I was contacted by celebrity, Jodie Sweetin (you'll remember her as Stephanie Tanner on the hit TV show, Full House) and her husband, Cody Herpin.

People Magazine had contacted them and wanted to do a photo shoot of their new baby, Zoie's nursery. The problem was, the nursery "needed something" according to this great young couple. They had seen my nursery products and my interior design services and solicited my assistance in finishing the room. We had less than two weeks before the shoot, but we pulled it off!

The issue hits the newsstands this Friday and will feature two of my nursery wall art designs, as well as one of my rugs. I also contacted my good friend, Caren, owner of Bebe Chic who quickly embroidered and created some great toss pillows which we placed on the glider/rocker in the nursery. Jodie and Cody loved the products and are thrilled with the now complete nursery. They've even said that they'll be sure to call me to design their next baby's nursery from start to finish! It couldn't get better than that!

I don't want to spoil the fun and post any pics yet...so check back after Friday to see which products they have.
