Decorating Style: My husband and I are both commercial interior designers which makes working on our own home very interesting. I guess I would classify our style as transitional with very personal flair. More than anything we want our home to be comfortable. We love having lots of photos and some personal artwork around. We do most of the work on our home ourselves and make a lot of our own decorations.
Inspiration for the room: When I was a teenager I first read the book “Oh the Places You’ll Go” by Dr. Seuss. I was so inspired by the messages and inspiration in the book that right then I knew that if I ever had a baby I wanted to include something from the book in the nursery. Fast forward 18 years I just so happened to marry a man who is very artistically talented. We took my idea and his talents and merged them together to create this nursery. We chose the characters and designs from the book that had the most color and movement to create an overall energetic vibe.
Advice: Start early. This took us almost 3 months, but the time we spent together was priceless. Make sure you love the room you will be spending a lot of time in it all hours of the day and night.
