Babies R Us + Dwell by Cheryl!

 

My inbox never ceases to amaze.  Last week, I received an email from a marketing representative at Babies R Us/Toys R Us.  She explained that Babies R Us would be sponsoring an event in my area called Happy Places.  She went on to say that the event would be held in order to help expectant parents envision and create their dream nursery.  After finding me online she wanted to know if I'd be willing to serve as the local design expert for the event.  Uhhh.....YEAH!

 

After the initial excitement wore off, I began to develop concern over whether my design philosophy would line up with what Babies R Us expected. 

Babies R Us

Let's face it, my approach to decorating a nursery isn't exactly go and buy everything at Babies R Us (like the photo above).

 

So, we scheduled a meeting and after speaking agreed that I could indeed share tips and strategies on how to create a dream nursery incorporating Babies R Us as a source. 

 

 

Needless to say, I'm so VERY excited about this opportunity to partner with a national retailer.  I think it's going to be loads of fun.  The invent will include advice on where to start, identifying your style, selecting colors, choosing furniture that grows with your family and how to buy the right decor. 

 

So, if you're local to the Charlotte area I need you to spread the word.  Join me at the Concord, NC Babies R Us on Sunday, June 29th at 12:00 noon.  I'll be sharing my tips for creating a dream nursery and toddler/playrooms. 

Can't wait to share how it all goes.  Have a great weekend!
