Girl and Boy Bedding

Custom kids bedding is awaiting pick up this week at Cici Crib. These pieces are good examples of putting  together  bedding that suits the customer's desires.  I feel design is sometimes about solving a puzzle. It is sometimes about figuring out a path to get to the right outcome. The customer used very traditional fabric for her daughter's window treatments. I believe it may be an old Ralph Lauren fabric.

The mom wants to update the room, but keep the window treatments.  She wants to make the room a little more hip.  We chose a headboard like the one below. The body fabric was almond basket weave from Serena and Lily. We covered the buttons in raspberry fabric.

The bed skirt was done in the same fabric.

The bedding was punchier, but still happy to be with the window treatments.

I wish I had a pic of the completed bed. Oh well...  I think this little dresser would also look great in the room..

Another mom was shopping for her son. He wants an orange room. She painted the room a taupe. She didn't want it to be too orange, but enough that it would make her son happy. We came up with this  custom bedding from Bebe Chic and mixed it with a dog pillow from Serena and Lily. It just looks great.

Now on to her next son. He wants a purple room. Another puzzle to figure out.

See you..

Mod Girls Bedroom It's Hip Hermes

Last week a customer picked up her Fall/Winter  bedding for her ten year old daughter's bedroom. This bedding was supposed to be ready at  the end of Sept. 2010. Delayed is not the word. Ridiculously late, is a better description. The factory that made the fabric moved and the production times kept getting pushed out. Back order notices were constant.  I think I get as stressed about back orders as my customers do. I call. I hassle . It is, what it is...  Luckily for me, this customer is so kind. No angry words.  She said she will leave her daughter's Spring /Summer bedding on at this point and will save this set for next September. As she picked up the bedding, I joked that this is a hip Hermes set. Yes, she completely got it!

Last year Hermes created a new site that celebrate it's scarves, Jaime mon carre. It's fun, it's hip, but still so Hermes..

So back to the customer's bedding... The custom bedding set comprised of a duvet cover, 2 euro shams and a boudoir pillow.

I wish I had a picture of the finished bed. Oh well.. Let's dream about the room... Maybe the bed will  have  a white patent leather, tall modern headboard like this..

I saw a dresser in Atlanta last July that can be made in different leathers or faux leathers. I think that would fit in the room..

Also a cool pod chair I saw in NYC..

We need something soft.. A flokati rug for sure.

I wonder how the room turned out..

See you..

Crazy headboards for a Girl's Bedroom

I am currently working on a pretty traditional bedroom for a little girl in NYC.  We will be doing a nicely tufted headboard  with a soft arch.  The fabric will be neutral so as to allow for future flexibility as the little client grows into her own style.  So I started daydreaming about funky headboards...

We will stick to the traditional. It was just a thought.

See you...
