What’s better than a super fun Havenly<\/a> client? \u00a0A super fun Havenly client with a background in art history and\u00a0amazing<\/em> style! \u00a0You’ll crush hard on this mom of two when you see the incredible bedrooms she helped create\u00a0for her children. \u00a0Next week, we’ll share delight in\u00a0her daughter’s whimsical Big Girl Bedroom. \u00a0But first, let’s take a look at her\u00a0baby boy’s southwestern-inspired nursery…<\/p>\n

WHO:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Leslie P. — Former\u00a0Rights & Reproductions Professional at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Design + Art\u00a0Lover, and Texan wife and mom of two crazy adorable kids.<\/p>\n

WHERE:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0A brand new\u00a0craftsman-style family home in popular & artsy Houston, Texas<\/a> neighborhood, the Woodland Heights.<\/p>\n

WHAT SHE WANTED:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0When we say “brand new,” we are not exaggerating. \u00a0The new home was still being built just months prior to the delivery of Leslie’s second child. \u00a0In preparation for his arrival, Leslie wanted a plan for the nursery laid out in advance of both their move-in and due date.<\/p>\n

“The greatest challenge\u00a0going into our son’s\u00a0nursery project was\u00a0approaching\u00a0what I like to call a ‘blank canvas’ in a new home still under construction,” explained Leslie. \u00a0“With the exception of\u00a0the glider we used in our daughter’s nursery and a table lamp\u00a0from a living room of yore\u00a0we started from scratch. Shiny and new certainly has its appeal but\u00a0I wanted to ensure the space did not\u00a0give off a cookie cutter ‘we bought the room’ vibe. Although we would\u00a0select and\u00a0acquire essentially everything for the nursery\u00a0during a period of weeks\u00a0it was my desire for the\u00a0pieces in the room to feel as if they had been very\u00a0intentionally collected over time. Additionally, having not yet moved in to this residence required relying on floor plans and quick\u00a0measurements taken on walk-throughs with our builder.”<\/p>\n

WHAT SHE GOT:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Leslie came equipped to the initial designer phone consultation with inspiration images\u00a0featuring\u00a0vintage Navajo floor coverings, an iconic\u00a0Alexander Calder mobile, checked prints, reds, blues and pops of brass. \u00a0The Havenly designer assigned to this project really took the client’s\u00a0style to heart. \u00a0After spending some time with Leslie on the phone, our designer came up with the 2 concepts below for the nursery….<\/p>\n

I think it’s safe to say Leslie\u00a0was thrilled!<\/p>\n

“After\u00a0seeing an image of a striking\u00a0vintage Navajo\u00a0number on Pinterest I\u00a0desperately wanted\u00a0to find a reproduction in\u00a0a similar color palette and pattern for the nursery,” she\u00a0explained. \u00a0“I scoured the Internet but came up empty handed time and time again. Enter Havenly. When I received my first room concept\u00a0I could not believe my eyes; there it was in all of its glory! The right style. The right size. The right price tag. A total trifecta.”<\/p>\n

For the most part, Leslie went with Concept 1. \u00a0We swapped out the dark wood changing table for the white (with added leather pulls) in Concept 2….in truth,\u00a0Concept 1 was pretty spot on!<\/p>\n

Final words from Leslie:<\/strong>\u00a0 “Since\u00a0becoming a mother for the second time\u00a0I have begun to greatly value practicality in our home.\u00a0It was important to me that the\u00a0nursery look a certain way\u00a0AND live a certain way. Havenly\u00a0knew exactly how to make form meet function in this room design. From the furniture to the textiles to the floor plan my vision for the space came to life enhanced by the team’s boundless creativity.”<\/p>\n
