EMERSON’S PLACE

                                                                                                       

                     Crib  

             Changer  

 Rocker  

I  propose  linen  single  panel  window  treatments  on  both  windows,  layered  over  the  striped  roller  shades.    They  would  be  swagged  to  opposite  sides  to  sweetly  frame  the  crib  placement.      

An  antique  corner  shelf  could  hold    keepsakes  &  be  a  unique  focal  point.  

A  vintage  side  table  could  hold  supplies  at  an  arms  reach  to  the  rocker  

An  antique  sconce  would  be  a  space  saving  light  fixture  if  mounted  on  the  wall    

The  rocker  &  ottoman  could  be  pulled  together  with  a  throw  pillow  in  brown  .      

Shelving  could  be  customized  to  hold  storage  baskets  and  books  above  the  changer  For  artwork  ,  a  

whimsical  plate  wall  here  would  be  a  nice  original  accent.      

               The Look

Plus…

some vintage accents.

A  wall  mounted  lantern    sconce  pays  homage  to  your  neighborhood  near  the  ocean  &  would  be  painted  in  a  sweet  pea  green.  

Graphic  melamine  plates  could  be  hung  with  plate  hangers  to  the  right  of  the  changer  as  original  wall  art.  

The perfect antique side table for beside the rocker & flea market corner shelf for above the crib. The great lines of the shelf mimic the Serena & Lily patterned bedding. I immediately thought of this piece when we discussed moving the crib to an angle during our first meeting.  

 

To pull it all together…

A  graphic  damask  pillow    to  marry  the  rocker  &  brown  ottoman  with  other  linens.  

DIY  shelves  with  decorative  brackets  over  the  changer  hold  books,  pictures  &  storage  containers.  

Linen  window  panels  with  white  hardware  would  frame  the  crib’s  angled  placement  &  provide  a  natural  texture  in  the  room.      

I propose a white chair rail with this Farrow & Ball wallpaper below. The tonal effect will work elegantly below the accent pink color & bring together the linen, green & brown throughout the room.  

 

The details…

1. Antique Corner shelf – As mentioned above, this piece is really what helped imagine the new layout. If the crib were to stay in its current location it would not provide Mom or Dad with a view from the doorway when peeking in to see if nap time is (hopefully!) still on. Salvaged from a charming flea market near NYC, you definitely won’t find this in any local baby store.

2. Vintage Spindle side table – This is most needed next to your rocker & the perfect spot to stash supplies, books, etc. The dainty design will assist in balancing the bigger pieces in the room.

3. Chair rail with wallpaper below – These details are pricey but will solve the

first issue you mentioned during our meeting – toning down the pink walls (which are adorable) and accent more natural tones. I’ve suggested beautiful textured wallpaper, which is actually hand printed with safe water-based paint; durable, easily cleaned & very high quality to last many years.

4. Linen window panels – Store bought window panels & hardware will add a

sophisticated layer to the windows & pre-existing roller shades. Pulled to opposite sides of the crib will give a subtle canopy effect… charming!

5. Antique Sconce – I was so impressed with your neighborhood near the

beach. I thought this antique fixture mounted on the wall would give a traditional, nautical spin over a regular lamp. Painted a fun, sweet pea green will coordinate with the green tones in the rug & bedding.

6. Damask graphic pillow – The perfect piece to join the ottoman, rocker &

linens.

7. DIY shelving & Storage baskets– Made from custom cut wood & decorative brackets; these shelves can provide vertical storage above the changer & keep valuable floor space open for playing!

8. Plate wall – These plates were a boutique find during a buying trip to

Savannah, GA & they screamed to be included in a little girl’s sweet space. You mentioned wanting to hang art & again these unique decorative pieces won’t be found in anyone else’s nursery.
