Nashville! + new projects + my favorite room ever

Whoa! Moving 1000 miles with two kids is not for the weary. We finally landed in Nashville this past Tuesday and after a couple weeks of shuffle, waiting on our furniture to arrive, I think my sweet boys are totally confused about life:) They both started preschool and today I asked my oldest what he thought. His answer, "No, I don't like it (his favorite response these days) Do you think they have a school in Marfa's Binyard?"

I also just wanted to let those who have asked (and those who haven't!), I am taking new work in the Nashville area now for late October. For a glimpse at some of my more recent projects visit my website at sabbeinteriordesign.com.

And now for the good stuff. This room is in a new construction home in Wellesley, MA. We are making our way through the entire house, room by room, but I started this past spring in the kids' rooms. I had a vision for this space from the start, which may be due to the fact that I have two little boys of my own. The key was, my clients (who also happen to be good friends) let me take my time. I wanted the room to feel very collected, and unique, but like it had always been there. And that kind of design does not often happen quickly. In the end, I have never wanted to say "never mind, I need to keep this room for myself" so badly. (photos by the talented Michael J. Lee)
