Week six of the One Room Challenge, time for the big reveal! It was an honor and true pleasure creating this sweet sanctuary for my client’s baby girl due in June. As a boy mom myself, it was so fun to take a more feminine approach to this room—the rose tones and earthy greens throughout the space really shine. If you remember, our budget for this space was around $800 (excluding a few props brought in for photos). Don’t be intimidated by budget, but do be thoughtful with where you spend your money. Focus on high impact items first and don’t be afraid of creative paint choices! Quick reminder of where we started…
Someone asked me the other day what’s unique about Maxpatch Studio—I’m very passionate about functional (and beautiful) spaces that can grow with kids throughout the years. It’s fun to add new accessories (artwork, bedding, wall decor, etc.) as they grow, but you don’t want to have to redesign the entire space as babies become toddlers and toddlers become preschoolers. The space we created for baby girl will serve her well for many years to come.
While we had a very thorough plan going into this project (see style board and floor plan below), six weeks from start to finish is no joke. That said, it’s super satisfying. I’m glad we spent the time up front to create the plan because it made everything else run much smoother, including mapping out when to tackle what in the following weeks.
Ok, enough with the preamble, here she is!
