A bedroom planned around color and everyday play
I think designing spaces in your own home is the most challenging, especially for kiddos. You have to find the middle ground that speaks to who they are and what they love but also (if you’re visually motivated like me) works in the context of the whole home and sets them up for success (access to clothes, books and toys). This is the first draft of Marlowe’s room using pieces that were purchased for two previous spaces. She loves color and rainbows but she missed sleeping in her tipi (she prefers the smaller enclosed space) so we have since brought it back and I’m reworking the furniture placement and sourcing a new rug that will suit the room size better. I’ve found that living with pieces for awhile and observing how they are actually used can guide you to the ultimate “design”. .
Mustard bedding and indigo cushions
New interior design work for @shopjonesandco ...love this color combination so much! 📷photography by @nataliepigliacampo 😍
A vintage bassinet in a plant-filled nursery corner
Vintage Bassinet of my Dreams...where was this when I designed Marlowe’s Silverlake room? Nursery designed for @shopjonesandco where you can find all of these items and shop for everyone on your list💞.
Festive accents in a bright house bed room
Added a few festive accents to all of the bedrooms...my current favorite (and Roman’s too) are the “lights” above his bed. He’s very proud to show guests “his” tree and tell them about all the animal ornaments (which slays me)🎄
Velvet holiday cushions on a green sofa
Last week I felt a burning desire to give my couch a mini holiday update by adding a couple of velvet pillows and it’s feeling pretty festive in here, especially with Rocco in a dapper sweater.
Golden grass beneath a Colorado sky
Lions and Tigers and Bears oh My! ...took the fam to the most incredible place in the middle of nowhere Colorado; they rescue and rehabilitate large carnivores that people think they can have as pets or from defunct circuses and shows all over the world. These beautiful creatures have some really sad backstories but most of them seem to be pretty happy now. If you’re in CO it’s absolutely worth a visit and a donation to this wonderful place🦙🐫🐆🐅🦔♥️
Weathered neon signs in a Las Vegas color study
Some people go to Vegas to gamble and other weirdos like me go to see rusty old signs and @ladygaga .
A house-frame bed in a blue-accented child’s room
About to tear apart Roman’s room and restyle for a special upcoming project!!
Desert planting along a bright sunroom wall
The seasons are changing but it’s always gonna a be California Desert in this room.
Thick alder shelves for books, globes and toys
I designed these floating 2” thick solid alder shelves in the kids rooms and guest bath...tons of storage but also a great styling opportunity! The vintage books belonged to me as a kid, the hatchshowprint carnival art is a nod to the spot in ConeyIsland where @coreindustries proposed, vintage globes, and Roman’s favorite @melissaanddougtoys on the bottom shelf for easy access.
Orange and blue faces across a street-art wall
“Denver Street Art” or “How it feels when you realize on a Monday morning (as you’re about to send your portfolio to a client) that your entire website doesn’t exist anymore” 😳
Vintage landscapes on a bright hallway wall
First day that it really feels like fall...hoping that all this green inside will get me thru winter!
A retail display of vintage clothes and woven pieces
We’re here for a couple more hours today, so come by and have a look! It’s been an amazing day so far and I’ve met so many great folks 💕 thanx @shopjonesandco for having me, I forgot how much fun retail can be .
