My Blank Canvas: Westley's Nursery 3.0

When we moved, I knew I wanted this room to be Westley’s. I loved the huge window and thought it would be a great space for him to play and enjoy, not just sleep. I also knew I wasn’t ready to transition him to a full-on big boy room yet, so I wanted to make use of much of what we had, while giving it an updated/slightly more mature feel.

I suspect 2021 will be a busy year for design projects as we’ve all come to appreciate our homes exponentially more than we used to. That said, here are a few trends I foresee being sought after…

The Beauty of Rooms

I’ll never forget a few summers ago traveling to upstate New York with a large group of friends for a birthday party, all staying together at this gorgeous remote farm property (which no longer serves the public, sadly!).

Some might cringe at the thought of spending a weekend with 16 people under one roof, but I reveled at the idea because I love being surrounded by others. Little did I know, that trip would inspire a whole shift in my design mindset.
