FROM THE EDITOR
I t did my heart good to focus all month on child-like optimism, laughter, and creativity. Pandemic or not, kids know how to have fun. Their boundless energy and exuberant curiosity is infectious, and focusing on their world was extremely uplifting. As we face the challenges at hand, creating comforting and peaceful havens for children and encouraging their joyful play has never been more important. Spending time with Casi St. Julian, who will bring her son into the world any day now, was one of the best days I've had in months. She happily showed me every tender detail in her nursery. And in those moments, in the cocoon she has created, I was filled with great hope. We all know moms have superpowers, but Casi has them in spades. Calm, confident, funny, and strong, I felt empowered when I left her home. Thank you Casi — yes, everything's going to be alright.

Bedrooms Built for Big Dreams by katy danos | photos by joshua brasted
C hildren see the world very differently than we do. They infuse wonder, imagination, and a little bit of magic into everything they do. An enchanting bedroom, intentionally planned with plenty of open floor space for creative playtime, encourages budding artists and tiny adventurers to while away their days at independent play. To strike a balance between practical matters such as clothes storage, a cozy place to lay a weary head, and toy organization, choose simple furnishings that can do double
duty. A trunk can easily become a game table and a crib that converts to a toddler bed is well worth the investment. Doses of whimsy and happy colors that can flex and grow as your child matures is the perfect way to decorate for tiny tenants. Age appropriate books, games, and interactive toys stimulate young minds and are loads of fun. Spotlighted here are three bedrooms that are sure to bring out the inner child in all of us. Dream big, little ones.

I love how joyful the room is. Every morning I walk down the hall just to stare at it in awe. The color palette and whimsical elements just make you smile. It's such a happy space and I know our baby will love it too. - Casi St. Julian
ADORE • AUGUST 2020 19
I n a light-filled cottage in Gentilly near the lake, interior designer Casi St. Julian, has created a charming nursery for the arrival of her first child, Oliver. As owners of Eclectic Home, an award-winning home furnishings shop and design firm, she and her mother Penny Francis are well-versed in how to make a space high functioning and beautiful. But when it comes time to do it for the very first grandbaby in the family (on both sides!) during such unprecedented times...well, you can say that this has been an especially meaningful experience for the family. As Casi explains, "This pandemic has put so many things into perspective for everyone. This wasn't the pregnancy I expected, but I've made the best of it. In a way, the nursery is the heart of our home now. The arrival of our baby Oliver has been the only thing we've been looking forward to in 2020, so to have such a joyful sanctuary to spend time in during quarantine makes it even more tolerable. We are blessed and super excited." When Casi was developing the design scheme for the room, she kept a few key priorities in mind. "I wanted a room that my son could grow into over time and I love spaces that are unisex, so a gender-neutral palette was a given. I fell in love with the whimsical wallpaper with adorable
French-inspired hot air balloons and that was the starting point for everything." She painted the room Benjamin Moore's Whipple Blue and selected a sunshine-drenched awning stripe indoor-outdoor fabric from Schumacher for the windows. As Casi pointed out, the décor will work fine as Oliver becomes a young boy and if down the line there is a daughter, she can pull the pretty pink out of the wallpaper to change things up a bit. I love how smart this is: the wallpaper and drapery are the investment and the paint color is always easy to change. She kept furnishings to a minimum and focused on function. "For us, making the nursery functional with not a lot of clutter is important. When you live in a New Orleans house, there is often limited storage space, so we wanted to plan the space carefully to incorporate the necessities as opposed to just pretty things and toys." The clean, modern lines of the crib she selected, the Gelato Convertible Crib from Babyletto, pairs well with the calm, muted hues of the bedding and quilted blanket from Land Of Nod. All together, it's a splendid nursery filled with everything a new mother needs. And the fanciful imagery of exciting balloon rides to faraway places is exactly what magical dreams are made of.

Sweet Dreams
W hen artist Natalie Erwin, originally from Fort Worth, Texas, was ready to decorate her daughters' bedroom in their new home in New Orleans, she turned to Madre, an interior design firm from Dallas. She and her husband were renovating a large-scale house on St. Charles Avenue, so working with designers from her home state was fun and familiar. As the Madre designers explain, "Decorating with Natalie is a blast. As an artist, she has distinct visions and it has been a treat to help bring them to life." For Marion, 7, and Talia, 5, the team created an ultra-feminine and elegant environment with lots of room to play. "I love that my girls chose to
22
ADORE • AUGUST 2020
share a room even though there is space in the house for their own rooms. They're best friends and inseparable," says Natalie. The room is painted a delicate and restful hue—Middleton Pink by Farrow and Ball. From there, the design team installed custom headboards, valances, and canopies dressed in rosy layers of pattern and print to heighten the sense of joyful girlish whimsy. "The window treatments are actually the bed canopies," says the designer. "They’re designed so that the backs open to let light in. And the valences have a soft wave that outlines the custom frames and portraits that Natalie painted of her girls." Yes, you read that right. Natalie is a noted artist who creates unique portraits on custom oval panels. Her paintings of Marion and Talia are showstoppers. Natalie also painted the stunning chinoiserie panels that cover the room with enchanting flowers, birds, and trees. "The panels are removable and I used a neutral and mature color palette
so they could be in my girls' collection throughout their lives to use in their future living, dining, or bedrooms. I wanted to create memorable pieces that could grow with them over time." Beautiful D. Porthault linens in the Chardons Luzerne pattern bring in several pastel colors that complement the artwork. Skirted bed platforms hide trundles that come out for sleepovers and a classic chest between the beds doubles as storage and nightstands. For an "organized chaos" trick, Natalie spaced the beds just far enough from the walls so that the girls could store all of their favorite stuffed animals there. "They never want to part with any of them," says Natalie. "This allows all of them to sleep besides them every night." With an adorable confectioner's "shop" in the room and plenty of uncluttered floor space, Marion and Talia spend hours happily playing in their magical and sweet bedroom.
In a sun-drenched bathroom, Meg Braff wallpaper and Raoul Textiles curtains create a classic garden feel. The Valmont Mirror is from Natalie's new home décor company, Fleur Home, which launches this Fall. Petal pink floral glass sconces from Visual Comfort are the icing on the cake.

Call of the Wild
A ccording to artist and designer Ellen Macomber, her son's light filled bedroom is the reason she bought her Central City house. "Previous owners installed the windows which were from a cabin in North Carolina. I stood at the window and looked into the backyard and knew that this was the house for us," she explains. I totally agree. Donald, 6, is living in the coolest treehouse of a bedroom ever. The magnificent windows create an automatic portal to an imaginative sense of adventure. Ellen describes her aesthetic as "Curated Madness" and "Heirloom Heavy." Indeed the room is filled with wonderful art, well-loved keepsakes, and treasures found on their many travels. "If Donald or I don't see the magic in an object, then it's not for us." The room is organized into various activity spaces. Ellen's grandmother's desk received a fresh coat of paint to create a future homework and art station. A big cozy bed and a daybed for guests is layered with colorful patchwork quilts that Ellen scored at estate sales, her "side obsession." There's a table that Donald sets up train layouts and as

Ellen explains, "Since it's all in his own space, I allow him to leave his intricate designs out for longer periods of time than I would if it was all downstairs!" The fabulous teepee was a gift from his paternal grandmother and the firepit was something Ellen bought from Land Of Nod while she was still pregnant to tuck away for later. I love the posse of critters and friends — birthday gifts from friends and family — especially the red fox wearing one of Ellen's sequined face masks. "His collection of animals is amazing," says Ellen. "Add the teepee and some pillows and boom! It's an interactive art installation. His room reminds me of Wes Anderson's fanciful movie, the Fantastic Mr. Fox ." Of course, the bedroom is covered in great art and whimsical objects reflecting Ellen's love for street maps and travel, unusual textiles, and bold colors. One gallery wall is a collection of art purchased while travelling through Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Above the bed, Donald's own art from school is featured alongside a NYC subway map and a Jazz Fest kid's map that he found while estate sale hunting with his mom. A sailing ship hangs from the ceiling along with a colorful mobile, his growing collection of hats are on wall pegs, and open bins and baskets corral books and toys. "It's what we call organized chaos," says Ellen. "It's color pop, art pop, heirloom pop...pop goes the weasel and the weasel goes pop."
O ur house is our safe haven. Everything in it has a purpose and brings us a sense of peace. We are out West now, but Donald is missing his room. Can you imagine having such a great room that you miss it even when on a fabulous mountain adventure? He is one lucky guy. - Ellen Macomber

Art WORKS OF by Michaela Bechler
M any factors contribute to New Orleans' magic, but our artists truly set the city apart from the rest. Experience the joy of art with your family through colorful, interactive experiences.
The Grey Collaborative
When abstract artist Abigail Reller first began painting with her daughter a few years ago, she loved the result. The New Orleans native merged her two passions — art and children — together into The Grey Collaborative. Families bring their kids to Reller's Metairie studio for a 45-minute session, where she works with them to create colorful and textured base layers. Clients can expect a calm, fun environment, where children will learn while creating. "After their session, I work on and adjust the piece to make it a high-end piece of art — beautiful enough to hang in their home!"

jamnola - joy art music nola
New Orleans' first experiential pop-up opens this month and audiences of all ages are sure to love the stimulating stroll dedicated to the Crescent City. The 5,400-square foot space contains the work of 20 artists featured in 12 rooms, all celebrating "the iconic art, music, food, and theatrics of the city." The project was founded by Jonny Liss and Chad Smith, two local Bywater residents, in creative partnership with Where Y'Art. Music is curated by local legend George Porter, Jr. and a percentage of JAMNOLA's proceeds will be donated back to New Orleans charity partners Trombone Shorty Foundation and Feed the Second Line.
