We have a lot of things going on at my house. First of all as you are all aware we are trying to finish up Jett’s room. That project is coming along pretty well. When the baby comes at the end of the summer my office will be turning into a nursery.

While technically this room could be considered ready for a baby girl to move right in I am feeling an urge to do something different. The problem is I just don’t know what! I feel all this pressure with this room for some reason. What if this is the only girl I ever have and the only girl nursery I get to do in my home? I just want it to be extra special but I don’t really know the direction I’m going to head in yet.
See even designers get stumped sometimes!
We have also begun the process of finishing our basement.
Here it is in it’s current state.
Pretty exciting huh?
Basically we’ll have a t.v./playroom and that back bedroom will be my new office. So now I have a basement and office to decorate somehow. It’s really a lot to take on right now especially while juggling my own clients and trying to do this all before the baby comes at the end of the Summer!
Stay tuned to see progress with all of these spaces. Let’s hope I get it figured out!
can't wait to see what you do. It is so special to design for a baby girl. Especially your own. xoxox
How exciting to have some new spaces to decorate. I can't wait to see your work. I absolutely love your taste. Taking some inspiration for a little office/studio I am currently creating too.
Exciting stuff! It'll all come together at some point. And I think it's good to stay busy with some projects. Good luck and can't wait to see how these rooms evolve.
I love your office as it is now and can't wait to see the new rooms as they develop. Your basement has a ton of natural light…it's going to look great down there!

How lucky you are to have a basement that you can finish off to add more space to your home! I know everything is going to be fabulous!
What exciting changes! It's great that you can turn to your basement for more space. 🙂
Lots of fun stuff in the works for you. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.
Very exciting!! That basement is going to be great. Hopefully you won't feel too much pressure! I know I would too. But remember sometimes things have to happen in there own time. I'm sure when your body goes into nesting mode you will get so much accomplished 🙂 I always love that part!
Thank you for posting this. It’s exactly what I was looking for!
Kirsten you probably feel overwhelmed; it will all be perfect in the end!! Thinking of you!

You will definitely figure it all out and do it very well! Finishing the basement is so exciting. We have that on our list too! It will add so much more square footage of living space. I bet it will feel as if you added an addition to the house! I love that you have so much light down there, too. It won't feel like a basement when it's finished!
How wonderful to be gaining all of that space! And I agree, it look so light and bright. Your inspiration will come and it will be amazing.
That all sounds so exciting! I can't wait to see what you come up with, you're so talented!
Good luck! Try not to stress! But can I just say – I'm really happy we get to come along on the ride. 🙂
What an exciting time! That basement will be such a great addition and I can't wait to see what you do with the new nursery!
Oh wow you do have a lot going on!! No doubt each space will be fabulous! I adore your office. Good luck with all of the changes!! That added space is going to be so nice.
Oh no! Now I'm concerned my girl will be my only girl and I did her nursery blue!! Oh well, at least most of it will work well with a boy. Its economical. Can't wait to see what you do!!
If you all don't mind, I would love some support to make the family room in the basement a bit of a man cave! It will have surround sound and I have some very large, and very awesome, aviation movie posters I want on the wall. I know, I know, not the prettiest idea but I think I deserve a small piece of space in the home don't you? Love, the husband 😉
I'm expecting a girl in October and I'm so excited! I've never had a nursery before and I really want to do one for her. I'm going to have to move the kids and I don't have a clue what I want to do either. Can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm sure it will be amazing!
You'll get it figured out. Don't stress- just let the inspiration come when it comes and if it's not done by the time she's here that's alright. It will all be beautiful I'm sure. Good luck!
You'll do a great job I know it! Can't wait to see how everything turns out. What great light you'll have in your basement!
So much fun! Can't wait to see your fun finished basement!! WHOOT! Although I don't know if we are getting a boy or girl, I am still thinking I need a little pink in my life. I am constantly collecting pictures! I will be sure to pass along any great ideas I see out there!
I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Such exciting changes! I'm looking forward to following along, and maybe picking up some ideas. I'm in the process of changing my office into a nursery too!
It is quite challenging to transform an office into a nursery. Although I do agree that the room is almost all-set for a baby. It already looks like a stimulating environment. You can add nursery essentials like a changing table and ottoman to give it more of that nursery feel. I’m pretty sure you can design a structured environment for your baby. Congrats in advance! 😀
