Children’s Room Designer It was when Irene was pregnant with her son & simultaneously designing nurseries for other clients, that specializing in kids rooms became her business focus. There’s something so special about being a part of helping parents create a welcoming space for their baby. Evolving that space as the child grows is equally important, and something that can be difficult without the help of a professional. She has the experience to get the style, cuteness & character that comes with your child’s first “big boy” or “big girl” room. Take a look at her portfolio at http://kids.designstiles.me/ and contact her at irene@designstiles.me or (818) 970-4541 to discuss the space that will have you and your baby girl or boy going from gah-gah to gorgeous!
