i was asked to design a baby shower for a baby boy. I came up with something a little different. Why not a nautical theme? The idea was simple and cute and now my next task would be to be able to find nautical items in a timely fashion. But I did and it came out beautifully. 

The Invite

I researched many designers and their nautical artwork and this invitation stood out the most. The words themselves formed an anchor and the colors matched what I was going for perfectly. 

The Touches

Party Details

I designed this Nautical baby shower a while back but haven't been able to post the details. I had free reign if the baby was a boy and so I was able to come up with whatever I decided. I was watching Popeye and instantly thought of a Nautical themed baby shower.  

For this party, I decorated the guest tables with white soft cloth linens and a navy blue runner, Tabletops all featured a piece of nautical decor - lanterns, anchors, sand and sea shells. I competed the look with the vintage nautical images I had printed on card stock, nautical themed napkins and the party favor boxes. It looked so elegant and was indeed very inexpensive. 

The main cake table was designed with a cake trio. I wanted the cakes to be the main attraction and so I placed very few items on the table. The linen was a soft t-shirt material with a navy blue and beige tablecloth. It set the stage for the decor with beige, red, navy blue and light blue.  I added a vintage sailboat, star fishes and sand vases. 

Her chair was covered in linens and I made her a custom pillow with the same custom image I had used on the onesie hanging on the wall. 

It was one of my favorite parties to design and the mom-to-be loved everything.

"Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose." - Charles Eames

When designing your space, don't forgot about its function. Pay particular attention to traffic flow through the home, use of space, and conversation areas. You'd be surprised how so many people get this wrong. 

DON'T have your furniture face your TV in your living space. Leave this for your family room, of course, if you have both, Instead, arrange your furniture to face each other creating a wonderful conversation area. If you have  a fireplace, arrange your furniture so that it becomes your focal point in the space. No fireplace? No problem. Create a focal point by adding artwork to the area. Use wingback chairs and a coffee table to finish the look and give the room a touch of elegance. 

If you happen to have a larger space, create multiple conversation areas! (see last pic!)

Best, 

blue is definitely one of my favorite colors.  It's serene, calming and cool - an introvert's delight! 

I came across Restoration Hardware's ad in House Beautiful and decided to go take a peek at their website and see what they were up to. To my surprise, their inspired color for the month is of course, blue! Their choice: indigo! 

Indigo, as they mentioned below, is a color inspired by royals and earning the name, "Blue Gold." The pieces and accents they chose - make these spaces worth mulling over. They are simply divine.

Bring back the tranquility in your home by using Indigo as the color choice. I would love to design your space using this color. If you're interested, I'm here. Email me today for our affordable interior design service price list.
