I graduated in Mathematics and studied a MBA at the FORE school of Management. However, I was always inclined to something creative and I wanted to pursue something related to interior design or architecture. So, I complemented my previous studies with a course on interior design. I took on some freelance interior designing projects which were really interesting and I loved every bit of it. "Nevertheless, I was still keen on doing something different. Something that no one else had done before.

I knew when I selected this theme that it was pricey, but I loved the idea of not having a nursery that was overtly girl themed. I didn't get many of the pieces from the collection, but this was a must. It's so much prettier than I expected from looking at it online. The distressing of the frame gives it such a classic look. I couldn't be happier!

This is the sweetest artwork I have found. And its a great price with the frame. I think this piece is going to be great too as our little one gets older because of the classic nursery rhyme feel.

This review is from: Wall art, 'Starlight' (Kitchen)
This is the first thing we bought, after deciding on the Starlight theme. It's helped us pick paint colors and given us a feel for the room. It's sweet for the nursery yet not cheesy. For the rest of the line, we will register!
