Boy-Girl Twins’ Shared Bedroom
This project was started when the mother of boy-girl twins decided that a redesign of their shared bedroom would help them stop sleeping with her! She also wanted a dedicated homework station, and storage for books. Since she wanted to upgrade them to full-size beds, a full-over-full bunk bed was the only solution, leaving space for 2 desks and storage. The kids could not agree on decor, so we went with mom’s love of everything farmhouse! The use of 2 plaids and a gender-neutral color scheme of blue, white, sage, and brown makes this room fun for the kids now, something that can grow with them, and something that mom likes, too!
Girl’s Dark Green Bedroom
This little girl requested “animals and plants” when I interviewed her about what she wanted in her new room. I decided to do animal-heavy wallpaper in green, to make her feel like she was living in the plants. She chose this fabulous paper, and I pulled the teals, dark greens, gold, yellow, and white from the paper for the rest of the color palette. She got upgraded to a full size bed, and a nightstand was replaced with a desk (a mom request!) Animals feature heavily in the room not only literally, through the cheetah pillows and peacock lamp, but figuratively too, via the leopard-print window treatments and zebra-print rug. Birch-tree bookcases round out the theme, and what kid doesn’t want a swinging chair in a book nook?

Girl’s Pink & Black Bedroom
When I sat down to interview the then-5-year-old inhabitant of this room, she told me in no uncertain terms that she wanted pink, black, and red. She also loved unicorns, pandas, and rainbows. The biggest challenge in this room was a huge projection- the top 4’ and ceiling of a closet on the floor below- taking up precious space and in a way that was mostly unusable. Instead of fighting it, I embraced this and had a custom bed and bookcases built into and on top of the projection. It looks amazing and freed up the rest of the room for a desk and reading nook. Pink silk-look wallpaper sets the tone, while black & white, red, panda, and rainbow accents can be easily changed when she does!
