Your work is lovely! What is your design philosophy and how does it translate into your work? SHANNON WOLLACK | My design philosophy is to keep a balance between being unique, contemporary, timeless, with a touch of funk. We love our rooms to have personality, while staying livable and approachable. MINI |
How would you suggest parents still have great style in their homes, but also make spaces kid-friendly? SW | My best advice would be to use durable materials and use pieces that are timeless and can be used as the kids grow up. It is also really important to stay organized and have MINI |
a system to keep all kids spaces tidy and toys unseen. Having a nice credenza to store toys, games and knick-knacks is great. You’re a mom to Spencer, plus one on the way! Talk to us about the inspiration for Spencer’s nursery. SW | My inspiration for Spencer’s nursery was the Alexander Calder piece that we inherited when Brad and I got married— we thought it was fun and it also had sentimental meaning. Being such a playful piece of art, we wanted that to be the statement of the nursery, and to keep other elements subtle. We still wanted to incorporate pops of color like the blue chair, the tonal wallpaper, and the black lamps. MINI |
