It feels like it’s taken forever, but my first official room reveal at the new house (aka #pastelsunriseplace) is live! I teamed up with Crate and Kids to dream up a truly whimsical all-purpose setup for our spare room. Part playroom and craft space, part reading nook, and part guest room, this space could have easily become a forgotten void at the back of the apartment where we just threw bits and pieces, and for the first month or so it was. But luckily I had a vision, and this space fit the bill!
I have been waiting for the chance to do an under the sea themed room for ages (it was on the table as a nursery theme for Summer but it never came to be!) and this “spare room” felt like the perfect opportunity to make those mermaid dreams a reality. It all started with trying to find a place for the “World is your Oyster” neon that Fuse custom made for Summer’s first birthday. I had the idea to do a wave wallpaper accent wall and install the neon on top, and the design really took off from there!
The hardest part about styling this space was trying to incorporate all the different uses I needed it to fulfill, without making it feel like a little room with a lot of “stuff”. Crate & Kids is stocked with so many incredible pieces that work for adults and kids alike, and because many of their designs are created with kids in mind, they were the perfect place to shop for a less spacious room like this. Some of our favourite pieces are the little table with nesting stools that tuck neatly away, the beautiful clay-coloured dotted quilt on the day bed, and this awesome kaleidoscope that Summer hardly ever puts down. You can find a full list of items in the room with links below – just keep scrolling!
