Designing a Gender Neutral Nursery, When Not Finding Out
So earlier this year I made that final move with Everly & Monet and decided to implement my design services with the fee attached. I'll be honest in that it was pretty freaking scary. Of course I’ve have been doing design all these years, but charging was taking it to the next level. And I’ve always had a lot of fear around that. Would peopIe actually want to hire me for those services.
The Highs of High Point
So I turned 40 this week, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. It's finally nice to have a huge milestone for myself and not just for my kids. I feel like I am also hitting a milestone in my career, as we focus more on design. So of course, I had to experience the mecca of Home Design--High Point, North Carolina. OMG!
Hospital Bed To Daybed
When Nikki Herson Eberstein commented on a post of a pretty feminine bedroom picture on Instagram, I had no idea what I would be apart of. “@everlyandmonetUmmmmm, I need this room for Jami STAT: You think you could “girl-up” her hospital bed? Upholster her headboard and make it look less clinical??????” Of course I said yes. I would love to show a little love to mom with strength I can't imagine & a little girl who is a FIGHTER.

Everybody can play at our studio. It's funny because my mother probably would have never stepped foot into a store like mine. Maybe it's because she would assume everything in my store would be way too expensive for her to afford.
Designing a Navy & Grey Nursery For A Baby Boy
I am so excited to reveal the beautiful nursery of my amazing clients Allison & Mychael Cohn. Over the years Allison has been a very loyal client. She has always been the 1st in line to celebrate the birth of her friends babies. So It was important for me to celebrate the birth of her son Mason with a room that would bring her joy. It turned out just perfect.
Nursery Reveal: The Malets
I have been in this game so long that I have seen life go full circle. When Mother & Daughter team Andi Weiss & Lauren Malet came in to design her nursery I started having deja vu. For some reason I felt "haven't I done this before?". And OHHH...I had, but it was like 10 years ago & it wasn't cribs, instead we were buying Citizen of Humanity jeans! They used to shop with me when Lauren was in High school at Daisy Too. I can't believe the teenager is now the MOMMY. Wow! It's not everyday you get to be with a family for so long.
Nursery Reveal: Baby Bennett
In this nursery reveal, we meet the Ungers as they welcome their newborn son Bennett Martin. For his nursery we wanted to go with a very sleek modern style with cool & different elements. It's not everyday I get to choose a lucite crib. The Spot on Square Alto Crib has lucite ends with curved silver legs. So HOT. The Alto collection is complimented by a 3 drawer dresser & bookcase.

Meet Dana….
Hi, I am so lucky to do what I love everyday! When I owned Daisy Baby & Kids boutique in Downtown Bethesda, MD for 12 years, I designed over 1,000 nurseries & children's rooms across the DC metro area.
