Andrea Lauren Elegant Interiors is proud to announce….OUR BABY STORY!! Oh my goodness!…Isn’t she the cutest?? Her name is Laurel, and she’s ready for her space to go from a nursery to a big girl’s room! Mommy and Daddy decided to upgrade her room, and play area this Christmas! Originally the in-law suite, this room was expanded to give the in-laws a sitting are in the adjoining room. Now that Laurel has graced this area, our designers have planned a space fit for a princess, and a play area to just giggle for! With floral print wallpaper filled with peachy orange, teal, white, and brown, a chandelier ceiling fan, and gliding white French doors to divide her room, and play area. Laurel’s parents are just starting their family, so they wanted to create a space that Laurel can enjoy, but will be versatile and easy to adjust when they expand. Therefore, we have plans for a double bunk bed, with a wall structure. We met with the family, and had the absolute pleasure of meeting Princess Laurel. Intrigued by the color swatches that she so elegantly played with, Laurel has given us the go ahead to follow through with our plans, and we are just beginning! Stay tuned for the...

It seems like it was just yesterday that your “little one” was obsessed with cute little dinosaurs or Barbie dolls… or comic book heroes and teen idols. It’s time to realize that that was yesterday! Your children are growing up and summer time is the best time to change out the style of their bedrooms and show them that you’ve noticed they’re growing up! Give them a personalized place they can call their own! Especially if they are transitioning from grammar school to middle school or middle school to high school. A lot has changed since we were kids, but some things haven’t changed… children still want a private space that is completely about “them”! First step is to sit down and talk about their room and what they want to change. Have dinosaurs been replaced with super heroes? Or have super heroes been replaced by sports? Pick a new theme and then expand on it. Next, plan on changing out the items that will have the most impact visually, like window treatments, wall murals, bed coverlets and headboards. All of these are large enough to instantly give the room a new feel. For example, let’s use this nautical makeover as an example.Changing the color palate to blues and browns instantly changes the atmosphere of the room. Add the nautical flags swag to the windows, throw in a life preserver and add a couple of nautical accessories and voila! You have a really modern and interesting bedroom for your young sailor! Or, do you want something a bit more dramatic? Turn your future fashion designer daughter’s room into her...
