Caitlin Creer on the Huffington Post

I got a delightful surprise in my inbox last week from The Huffington Post

One of their reporters contacted me to ask if they could feature the Spring Lane home

I worked on last year with Tiek Built Homes on their Stylelist Home column.

Of course I was happy to oblige and share some details about the project

You can read the article here about how we approached the interiors.

Thanks to the Huffington Post for the mention.

Spring Lane Master Bedroom

With 4 small children my clients really needed their master bedroom to be a relaxing retreat.

The paneling detail that Steve Tiek designed was so beautiful that I wanted to keep the room light airy so it wouldn't upstage the great architecture of the space.

One of the few pieces of furniture my clients had their eye on before

I came into the picture was this Scroll Headboard from West Elm.

We had this love seat custom made so it would fit the alcove exactly.

It is arguably one of my favorite parts about the whole house.

Spring Lane Nursery

This room is so sweet to me because my client made two of my favorite things on the room for her sweet little babe. We had seen the mobile and the A print made of buttons on pinterest and we knew they would be the perfect DIY projects for the space.

We had been pretty restrained with the use of color in other parts of the house so we went bright and bold in this space. The concept for this room started with an inspiration image of a bright yellow crib from Caroline Armelle, and this wonderful bird pillow from Anthropologie (no longer available online)

Spring Lane Boy's Room

It was so much fun designing this room because I have a little boy the same age as my client's son. We wanted this space to be all about fun and personality. The whole concept started with this cool rug we found. I've gotten lots of e-mails about this rug, and I hate to say it but I think you'll have a hard time tracking it down.

The rug is made by Safavieh, but we purchased it through Overstock and

I don't think it has been in stock since June.The colors in it are so amazing.

Yes that crooked "L" is driving me crazy

Spring Lane Pink and Orange Girl's Room

I got lots of excitement when I posted the inspiration board for this room a few weeks back,

Our original inspiration for the space came from this room by Palmer Weiss that was featured in Lonny:

The girls loved the bold orange headboards and the head shots

pictured above the beds so we knew that aspect of the room had to stay.

I found that perfect orange fabric for the headboards

at a local fabric wholesaler and we were on our way.

We based the whole room scheme around this amazing Potalla pattern from

Quadrille and purchased pillows made out of it from Woody Liana on Etsy.

Roman Shades: Custom, Fabric Trina Turk Trellis in Watermelon for Schumacher

Spring Lane Craft Room

I'm quite envious of this space since my home office currently looks like a war zone.

I loved going over to the house during the install and seeing my client's 2 oldest daughter, 7 and 9 busy at the sewing machine. I even took them a basket of my scrap fabrics to use to for their projects. The gorgeous cabinetry was designed by Benjamin Blackwelder and finished off with butcher block counter tops from ikea and hardware from the local craft store.

The space is clean and simple with room for the imagination to run wild.

I hope next time I visit the house I see a big creative mess in here.

Spring Lane Family Room

The light in this room is amazing. It has windows on 3 sides and feels so open and airy. The client's were set on the sectional for the space so the trick was to keep the room feeling open.

We stuck with a crisp color palette of gray, chartreuse, white and various blues.

We used a cozy wool shag rug to keep things cozy and soft and layered in some crisp patterns to add a fresh spin to the simple space. The ship lap and grass shades give it a coastal vibe that I love!
