As you know, I've been helping my friend, Tiziana, design a nursery for her baby girl who's due in June -- and it's been so much fun! Up until this point, I've only designed boys' nurseries (luck of the draw), so planning a room for a little girl was a new challenge. We used gray and light pink as our color palette and are so happy with how it turned out! Read on for additional details and to see photos of the nursery...
Read MoreA friend recently moved into a new apartment in Hoboken and asked me to help design the layout of her living room. Since she's often hosting friends, we need a space that can easily transform into the perfect gathering spot for book club meetings or a girls' night in. Read on to see the mood board I've created for the space!
Read MoreGuys! Have you checked out the Charley Charles Shop yet? I stumbled upon Carly's Etsy shop about a year ago and absolutely fell in love with all of her adorable baby items. Well, I will be giving one lucky reader my absolute FAVORITE item that Carly makes: the Pom Pom Swaddle Blanket. Read on for details on how to enter!
Read MoreI'm currently working on a really fun gallery wall for an apartment in Hoboken that I just can't wait to share! Gallery walls in general are usually tons of fun to put together (as you know, I hung my own gallery wall just a few weeks ago!) -- but it's even more exciting to work with someone who shares a similar taste in art and photography. Read on for a sneak peek at some of some of the art we're planning to include!
Read MoreOne of my favorite parts about living in Hoboken is the amazing boutique shopping that this wonderful city has to offer. And, given my love for all things interior design (and candles!), one of my favorite stores in town is Luna Rosa. This uptown Washington Street store is packed with beautiful textiles and unique homegoods from local artists that you can't find anywhere else, so I never leave empty-handed.
And, since it's FRI-YAY, Luna Rosa and I have partnered to give one lucky reader one of my very favorite items -- a beautiful D.L.&Co. candle! Read on details!
Read MoreI have a thing for gallery walls and ever since we moved into our condo (two years ago...), I've been meaning to put one up. Well, the time has finally come! Check out my most recent post for Hoboken Girl, where I detail the process and share my tips for how to design your own gallery wall (and, of course, to see how my wall turned out!)
Read MoreThis past week, I began helping a friend design a nursery for her baby girl. Our color scheme is pink, gray, and white, and we're planning to mix and match furniture and materials to create an eclectic room that can grow with her daughter...
Read MoreHas anyone checked out Target's new Pillowfort Collection for kids? It's absolutely adorable. With twelve (!) different themes (varying from "Camp Kiddo" and "Ocean Oasis," to "Floral Field" and "Modern Mirage"), there are items that speak to any kid's (or mom's) interests.
Read on for a few of my favorite picks.
Read MoreA few months ago, I began helping my friend, Lynn, design an elephant-themed nursery for her son. Well, now that her little boy has been born and the room is complete, I'm excited to finally share how it turned out!
Read MoreWhile we've lived in our home for over two years, the master bedroom has remained the one semi-neglected room in our house (after all, I had to first focus my energy on our living room and then, of course, the nursery.... right??) Priorities...
We've slowly been adding some artwork, accessories, and other personal touches to make it even cozier and I hope to share an update of the redesigned room soon! In the meantime, read on to view the mood board I've created to help me envision the space's potential.
Read MoreWhen we first moved into our condo, we purchased this popular open shelving unit from Ikea (which was just recently discontinued) for our living room -- and I have to say, I've loved having it in our home! However, despite how versatile this piece is, it simply isn't baby-friendly. So, I'm now on the hunt for a sturdier replacement piece that will tie in nicely with the rest of our furniture while still providing adequate living room storage.
Read MoreLately, Target has totally been on point with its rug collection. Between collaborations with Nate Berkus, Safavieh, Threshold and Mudhut, there are more than enough fabulous rugs to fill any home (and to fit any budget).
Read on for my top picks (and the ones I would have already pulled the trigger on if only we had more bare floors...)
Read MoreDid you know that Emily & Meritt have just released their very first capsule for Pottery Barn Kids?! The collection is full of metallics, bold patterns, and vintage-inspired touches. If Jake's nursery wasn't already complete, I'd be all over this... See below for my very favorite pieces from the collection:
Read MoreHanukkah has past and we now have less than one week until Christmas! I usually try to decorate for the holidays just after Thanksgiving so we can enjoy the festivities for as long as possible -- but I've found myself completely behind this year. I guess a new baby will do that to you... But with that said, better late than never! Here's a look at how our home is (finally) decorated for the season.
Read MoreWith the nursery complete, there remained just one thing left to tackle: the closet. So, we did a quick purge of the space and started from scratch.
The first thing I purchased was an Ikea Kallax unit in white, to provide extra shelving and storage. I placed the unit on the ground inside the closet and added cute gray and white striped baskets from Land of Nod to transform the open shelving into "drawers."
Read MoreThis past week I've been helping my friend, Lynn, design a calm, gray and white nursery for her baby boy. Living in New York City and converting an office/guest room into a nursery is always a challenge, but I think we were able to come up with some really great ideas using pieces of furniture she already owns and a few accents to round out the space.
Read MoreIt's November and my due date is officially 3 weeks away(!), which means that it's time to finally reveal the nursery that I designed for Baby Pulman! A few months ago, I shared an inspiration board that highlighted the color scheme and a few items I was considering for the room. In the end, I actually ended up sticking pretty closely to that original board, designing a modern nursery in shades of blue, green, gray, and white.
Read MoreI can finally say that the nursery is nearly complete so I should be ready to share a reveal within the next week or so! The only thing that's missing is a piece of artwork to fill a large blank wall over a sofa in the room.
Read MoreHalloween is one of my favorite holidays, but with everything going on at the moment, I feel like I'm totally behind in terms of decorating (and even finding a costume!). But since we're one week out and the temperature has finally started to cool down, I wanted to share how we've been decorating around the house. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Read MoreWhen I first found out I was pregnant, I knew that I wanted to create a very special nursery for our baby. So when it was confirmed we were having a boy, I immediately got to work brainstorming color schemes, themes (did we even need one??), and the overall mood that I wanted the room to evoke.
