DESIGNING | NEW NURSERY PROJECT

Monday, June 17th, 2013

The Animal Print Shop by Sharon Montrose

I recently got to team back up with The Animal Print Shop to design a bright and cozy nursery for photographers Max and Margaux Wanger and their adorably spunky new baby boy Dash. This marks the second addition to The Animal Print Nursery Project (previous nursery is right over here) and was inspired by this equally spunky and newly released Baby Elephant print as well as the Wanger’s modern style and charming vintage Los Angeles home.

I bet a pretty cool baby kicks it here.

Design-wise, this wee little room had a bit of a quirky layout that was super tight on space but packed full of great vintage architectural details. I wanted the nurseries layout to be functional for the family and baby Dash’s day to day baby needs, but also adaptable enough to eventually smoothly transition as Dash gets older and his needs change. Big basics like the changing table / floating dresser, beautiful rocker and wall shelving are minimally modern enough to remain looking stylishly age appropriate for years to come but are currently a perfect and functional backdrop for the rest of the rooms cheeky and unexpectedly colorful accessories that any baby, that enjoys style and bright unique handmade things, thoroughly adores.

Speaking of.

Perhaps you’d like to know what’s what and where to get some of the pieces seen here in this nursery for your own stylish baby? Well, lucky duck, look below for sources on the pieces I picked up to design out Dash’s stylish digs:

Last minute is how I roll, I know, terrible at announcing things – but if you’re in LA this Saturday night and looking for love in all the wrong places how about you come on out to SHOPCLASS instead and check out some of my CAMP goods and also shout hello. Come out for a party and for fun and for stuff.

FYI, SHOPCLASS is the newly opened retail coming together of three very fantastic folks, namely Ellen LeComte of Amsterdam Modern, Jeff Garbs and Sally Breer of Commingle Home. It’s amazing.

What are the details and where is this magic happening? Also, when?

LOVE IS MESSY & SO IS THIS.

I’ve had it with trying to make everything CAMP line up perfectly to launch all at once in some sort of culmination of perfect perfection. I’m tired of talking about it, I’m tired of waiting – so screw it. Here’s a quick and dirty Flash Sale for Lovers.

Valentines day seems like a thing? Do you have a lover or something? Did you need a last minute stylish token of love that says hey, I like you and I respect you, but I want to do things with your body? Well, here are a few small baubles and bits to consider that might help you get busy.

For Her?

+ DAILY PILL NECKLACE 

+ EVERYDAY NECKLACE

For Him?

+ LEATHER KEY STRAP

+ SALTILLO PILLOW 

This small batch of things in limited quantities will be available through Friday. Domestic shipping only (sorry), but hey, it all ships for FREE in the US. Orders will be sent out Friday/Saturday and will arrive to you before the 14th.

Also, everything comes with neutral packaging to keep things tasteful?

Maybe someone stylish you know needs a few good basics for everyday living?

Maybe its time to treat yourself? I don’t know!

Thanks to everyone for putting up with all this CAMP crap. It’s been all consuming and I know the blog and house have suffered. Wait, does anyone read blogs anymore? I don’t know! I’m terrible at blogs! I need a girl to model my necklaces because Jeremy just looks silly! I am surrounded by dudes! Someone remodel my kitchen! I hate my pink tub and gross bathrooms! My dining room is a messy workshop! My life is chaos! The dogs are making me crazy! Weeds are growing out of control everywhere! Teenagers are loud and disrespectful! Hemet is a nightmare! I want a forever lazy!

Happy V-Day.
