Ceiling Medallion

We believe that it is the little details that makes a room more personal. For example, this ceiling medallion that we are putting in the nursery. They cost around $150-$250 depending on the size and detail.

An old world room gets an update!

We love this room. The combination of old furniture with a graphic modern print and a splash of yellow makes this room chic.  

The simple addition of a pillow and drapes in a modern fabric updates this room.   Small details such as the banding of yellow and the silver nail heads pick up the painting and other accessories in the room.  These little details are what makes a room special/unique.

Project: Coastal Nursery Room-Beadboard

Back to our latest project that we where talking about in the beginning of our blog.  Our next design move-we are going to beadboard edged with molding.

How might you know what height to make it.  Say a window in the room starts at 35" above the floor.  So, you wouldn't want it to end right below it because that would shrink the height of the room.  A little bit above the start of the window would be perfect or you could always go up a little bit further too.  But never go half way up the wall.  It does not look good....

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call or comment below.  We will answer any questions to the best of our ability.

Suzanne and I have decided that 40" would be perfect in this room.  The average height of a changing table/dresser is 34". So, our beadboard would be seen above the dresser, peaking out.  Perfecto!

What an impact beadboard will add to this beach cottage nursery!  The look is so fresh, classic and clean.

Estimated construction cost of beadboard, with trim, without it being painted: $828 for a room that is 130 sq ft.  Remember, that's this does not include it being painted.

Ingenious! Give your bedroom an instant makeover with this self-adhesive, removable headboard, made of ultra-thin vinyl. I think this idea is FAB! It only costs $40 (twin), and adds such a great touch to a room especially if you can't afford a custom bedhead. It also comes in six different colors and a couple of different styles. It could give a drab white room in your loft/apartment a punch of color. Check out other decals and furniture pieces on this website.

Birdy Fabric

 

We have chosen this off-white linen fabric with sea birds on it for the drapery fabric.  The header will be English pleat with no background and only 2 inches.  This style is more European and will create a more relaxed look for our beachy nursery style.  The hem will be a standard 4" double hem.  The lining will be a blackout material that has a nice cotton hand to it.

This fabric is apart of Thom Filicia's collection for Kravet.  Thom Filicia played a role in the TV shows- Queer Eye for The Straight Guy, Dress My Nest, and Tacky House.  "His new fabric collection for Kravet  introduces a style, he says, that is "modern, fresh and accessible".  His fabric represents these ideals through a selection of prints and weaves in contemporary patterns and colors like yellow, gray, blue, orange, and natural.  He is known for his thoughtfully personalized interiors, which feature richly layered textures and colors for a lived-in yet highly sophisticated look."

Inspiration

 

WDI Design is inspired by the colors represented in this fabric for the Nursery we are working on. We love the combination of a soft yellow, a sea mist green and a blue. Since the client wants the room to be gender neutral we think that this color scheme will be a fresh take on a sea side look.

As designers, Suzanne and I find inspiration in furniture, fabric, buildings, pictures/art, jewelry, clothes, and nature.

New Job

WDI Design is excited about a new job. Job Description-Turning an office into a nursery on a budget. Style-Coastal/Beachy for a client who doesn't know the sex of the baby. 

We would love to take you through the design process from start to finish.

We will be posting pictures of how we come up with our design inspiration, cost of construction, what works in the room and why something doesn't work, furniture layout, fabrics, great finds, and anything else we come across that might be of interest. 

Like life, the most interesting part about design is the journey to the end result.
