How do you sparkle?
Being creative every day, and by doing so, making my readers and clients sparkle (my hope!).

“We were finally able to take her changing pad off of the dresser — a big milestone for any parent. I love that she can now pick out her own books and can’t wait to turn on her lion night-light by herself every night.” Night-light, Jonathan Adler; mirror, Z Gallerie; chandelier, Pottery Barn Kids; lamp and shade, Target; acrylic tray, IOMOI; Land of Nod “L” on Paper Source paper.

    Love it all! And have so many of the same elements in our place, but love the spin you have taken with many of them. I think my favorite space is the master — I am of the same mind frame. Keep everything contemporary and add a little glam in there ;)

    I love the crib. Where is it from?

    • http://www.smallshopstudio.com Erika [small shop]

      Hi Shannan, it was an Amy Coe design for Babies R Us but I don’t believe it’s available anymore. The drawer is a nice bonus!

    Thank you so much for this post. Erika has impeccable taste! I have a very similar kitchen and the chandelier was a great inspiration for putting some fancy lighting in there.

    P.S. I loved how many pictures were in this post. Thanks again, xo.

    Hi,
    Great design and eclectic space. The Beni Ourain Rug is a great addition to the design theme.
    Please visit http://themoroccanroom.com/index.asp?loc=catalog&topcat=2&cat=3&pg=all for more vintage and dazzling Moroccan Beni Ourain Rugs.

    The tribal graphics of Moroccan Beni Ourain rugs pair well with contemporary or traditional designs. Our Beni Ourain shags have a simple harlequin pattern, a 1960s vibe and a price that’s half the cost in major rug dealers.

    Enjoy!

    I love Erika’s entire house, but my faves are her daughter’s room and the photo her hubby took, and her grandmother’s gold rimmed china. These personal things/spaces are so unique to her and her family and cannot be duplicated. She is one of the most talented bloggers/designers out there and I am so proud to know her and glad you featured her!! Amazing!
