I’m honored to receive the award for the best “Scenes of Life” category from the design awards held last night. While I couldn’t be there in person I was thrilled to hear the news in real time. A big thank you to , the judges, and for creating an event and a set of awards that really means something to our community.
This little space is especially personal as it is the nursery I designed for my first baby, Ronan. Inspired by our Irish heritage and the meaning behind his name (little seal), the room features lush green fern wallpaper by and installed by .spencer.art , drapery by using , a vintage deco chair from my childhood reupholstered in orange mohair, and a variety of vintage finds. Much of the art is original by family and friends save for the Guinness poster. The room is meant to feel as if you’re under the ocean looking up to the sky. The bouy I collected during my years in Maine hangs one the corner to amplify the affect along with vintage aquarium decor turned into a table lamp.
I created the reading nook using vintage French textiles and some dead space in the closet, and it now features a bevy of twinkle lights. The magic is real in this little space!
I still love this room and I’m so happy that others feel enchanted by it too. ☘️
