I have been working with a lovely client who subtly shows her refined Texas roots and her flair as a jewelry designer. We have been working on her daughter's room. The design is a bit in the transitional phase. The toddler is quickly moving into the world of a big girl. We planned for a future bed, nightstand and desk. For now it works for her age. She loves to sit and read with her mom on the double glider. She loves her crib. And she loves her dollhouse. We wanted a timeless design that the little girl could grow with. The carpet is a delicate pink and green lattice by Schumacher.

There was much discussion about the window treatments. The client wanted very soft formal treatments. We exactly translated her wish. I so love the chandelier that was chosen. When she saw the electrican putting toThe client had to take out her jewelry making tools to put it together. It is perfect.

For the window treatments, we decided on a Hinson & Co. fabric and splurged a bit on the Schumacher trim.

We did a fairly large bulletin board that will eventually hang over a desk.

I love the pushpins the client found. Made from vintage earrings...

The bookshelf was custom Newport Cottages. The metal fairies that flank the venetian mirror are vintage. I am not sure where the fairies came from. Maybe they were a part of a weather vane. I purchased them from an antique mall in Ohio. It is the unexpected element in the room.

On the bookshelf are crystal lamps from the '50s. We purchased the vanity tray on ebay. It reminded the client of her grandmother. The vintage porcelain southern bell is actually a music box.

For now it is room for a little girl. I will take more pics of this room as it evolves into a room for a big girl.

See you..
