The Everly & Monet Experience
I was finishing up a consult with a new client the other day & as she was getting ready to leave she turned around & said that she was amazed at the large variety of vendors that we carried. She also never realized that there was someone who could help her navigate through this overwhelming baby process.
How much does it cost to Design A Nursery?
How much does all this actually cost? I get asked this question every day. And honestly the 1st question in design should be what is your budget? Well you can't build a budget if you don't know how much nursery furniture costs.
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.
How To Choose The Best Desks For Children
When I sit down with parents to design a big kids room, I often ask them if they've thought about a desk. They often look at me like I'm crazy --this is a 2 year old we are talking about. But "if kindergarten is the new 1st grade" your little one may be doing homework before you know it. If you gotta buy a desk, it better be cute.

How To Choose The Perfect Name For Your Business
It all started when Ever arrived. I have been helping moms & moms-to-be since 2005, way before I became a mother. I already loved being a designer with little ones in mind, but I didn’t know what it actually took to bring a new life into the world.
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!

New Trends in Nursery Design & Baby Gear
Back in the day I used to hold on to floor models like they were GOLD. Not anymore. You like it you buy it, it's gone. We bring things to the studio floor & sometimes they leave quicker than I want. Had you visited us last weekend, you would have thought we had nothing to sell. So my boys at N-Route brought some new pieces. You know I try to jam everything but the kitchen sink into 900 square feet. I wanted to take a moment to give you a feel of what we have on board.
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.
In 2015 I introduced Everly & Monet to focus on interior design services. I believe in design that is simple, functional, as well as, inspirational. When you work with me, you get to work with an expert who will bring your Pinterest board to life.
