In anticipation of Emily’s current Design Challenge going on this month, I thought I’d feature a great source for amazing paint colors and all things color related: Devine Color. You can find a weatlh of information from paint colors to paint ideas. Here are a few higlights.

The Devine Color book can be ordered on their website:

Okay, what they actually want is your teenager’s bedroom. That is, if they have a swimming pool in their bedroom, maybe a race car track (real race cars, not toys silly), a rocket ship (again a real one, not a toy!) or whatever exotic feature that can possibly be out there. Any takers? If not, hire me! That’s one project I’ve yet to have in my portfolio.

MTV is casting for a new show titled Teen Cribs:
Featuring teens living in amazing spaces built by their parents. To be considered, teens must be 13-21 years old and have something distinctive with their personal space and examples include swimming pools, game rooms and theaters to deluxe bedrooms, tree houses and indoor bowling alleys among other ideas.

In case you are looking for a little inspiration for Valentine’s Day…

I’ve been working on a few girl’s bedrooms for clients and have found it’s so much fun to source ideas, inspirations, and furnishings for little girls! (Sophisticated little girls, mind you!)

Such a great idea if needing extra storage space – cover an inexpensive shelving unit with a beautiful fabric:

Corners can often be wasted space, this chair from The Company Store makes perfect use in a bedroom:

If you are looking for creative nursery design (and bedrooms for children), you must check out the projects done by Little Crown Interiors.

Based in Los Angeles & Orange County, the design duo of Naomi and Gerri bring a very individualized and personal touch to each and every room they create.

I was all too happy to discover Naomi was doing interior design (like myself) – our famlies have known each other for years and we grew up in the same neighborhood. I think her mom has known me since I was a toddler and I’ve known Naomi since she was in diapers! How fitting her client’s are in diapers, too! Only joking!

Check out all the fun and creative projects from Little Crown Interiors and be inspired!

This natural nursery was designed with real tree branches combined with branch decals for a truly original feel.

This darling bedroom was designed for a little girl who loves ballet, acting, dancing and of course, everything pink!

This bedroom was created for a little girl with big style.

This nursery was designed with green in mind! Combining fresh colors, animals and the alphabet, we created a warm environment for a baby boy to grow up in.

This colorful playroom was designed for two twin girls who love to dance and a mommy who loves disco!

This nursery was designed with a nautical feel with accents of sea-life for a whimsical touch!

This nursery was inspired by the Delano Hotel in Miami. A fabric draped ceiling created a cozy lounge feel.

This nursery was designed for twin boys. A modern color scheme combined with vintage appeal made this nursery a splash!

This modern nursery was designed around a custom upholstered crib and a love of all things tangerine!

This nursery was created with neutrals and pops of red with twinkling star accents!
