What is unique about your design? What makes this design unique is that it isn’t a typical kids’ room with bunnies or bears on the walls. It’s meant to be funky, fun, and different.
What did you enjoy most in designing this room? I have a six-year-old son, so envisioning him using this space was what I enjoyed most. He gave his special input on everything in the room.
Did you encounter any challenges in designing this room? My biggest challenge was that the first wallpaper that I ordered didn’t arrive in time, so I had to switch it up at the last minute. Sometimes unexpected challenges can lead you to a better design. In the end, I actually think this design worked out better.
Each designer has his or her own personality and style. How does your creative voice shine through? I have a more modern and contemporary aesthetic, and this room certainly conveys that.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your work as an interior designer? The most rewarding aspect of my work is my client’s reaction to the final design. It makes me happy and very proud when a client loves the space.

What inspired you in designing this room? My ten-year-old daughter was my inspiration for this room, so I wanted to create a space that would be bright and engaging. I chose a grey and lavender color scheme, and added lace trim, a vintage detail, alongside mirror tiles, a modern detail, giving it a fun and “grown-up” feel.
What is your favorite aspect or element of this room and why? I have two favorite pieces: the bed’s vintage headboard that I refinished, and the custom fresco I painted to hang on the wall.
Did you take a more technical or artistic approach in designing this space? I wouldn’t say my approach is technical or artistic as much as it is psychological. I ask questions and try to get into the mind of who will live in the room: What are their lives like? What are their preferences? Of course, I always seek to create clean lines and beauty, but what is most important is making sure that people can function well in the space.
What is unique about your design?
My design is unique in my attention to little details, be it the trim on the wall or the upholsteries on a chair. It’s these small aspects that really make a difference in a room.
What did you enjoy most in designing this room? I enjoyed collaborating with my daughter in creating a space that she’d love to come home to. She inspired me so much in the design process. I enjoyed using soft fabrics, fine linens, and soft cottons. One of my favorite finds was a vintage bear made from curtain fabric, which my daughter wanted to keep for herself!

Did you encounter any challenges in designing this room? I was sensitive to the technical challenge of hanging my custom fresco art panels so that they look like one cohesive work.
Each designer has his or her own personality and style. How does your creative voice shine through?
In every design, I include a piece of art that I have created, or I recycle old materials to create something new. My style changes depending on my mood, space, inspiration, season, and client. The best is always in the details, and knowing that my finished work includes fine art.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your work as an interior designer? Of course, making people happy and ready to live in the space. I put my heart into my work and, of course, a piece of my fine art.

What inspired you in designing this room?
When entering the downstairs hallway for the first time, I saw that the double doors and extra-wide entry way had a church-like architectural feel. I thought this would be a great space to express my creativity and bring it to life.
What is your favorite aspect or element of this room and why? I was drawn to the light that comes from the outside through the double doors, thus illuminating this unique hallway. I love the nostalgia and timeless beauty of the black and white marble floors.
Did you take a more technical or artistic approach in designing this space? I created and designed this space with a purpose. I wanted to achieve a Southern look that is classic.
What is unique about your design? I brought natural elements into the space, creating an atmosphere that is warm and welcoming. It was fun incorporating beautiful furnishings with a Southern style.
What did you enjoy most in designing this room? My recent visit to Savannah, Georgia was my creative inspiration. I brought back a colorful vision for this unique space, and it guided me to choose select paint colors for the wall, ceiling, doors, and trim. All the paint colors I selected are from Sherwin Williams. The wall color is SW0013 Majolica Green. The ceiling color is SW6175 Sagey. The ceil- ing and wall colors beautifully complement each other, while staying in the same color family. The trim is SW7103 Whitetail: the perfect color. I painted the doors a black SW6258 Tricorn Black. I love the balance of all of these colors. They work well together and fulfill my vision for the room.
Did you encounter any challenges in designing this room? I found the doors to be a bit of a challenge, as they were unique and awkward in scale. They took on a completely new look when I painted them a beautiful black.
