Sherri Blum | Jack and Jill Interiors, Inc.Children’s waiting room interior design project at Princeton University. I was beyond thrilled when contacted by a team of scientists ( psychologists and neurologists ) at Princeton University. This group of professors and graduate students from the Turk-Brown Laboratory are conducting research on the infant’s brain by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (or fMRI), to see how they learn, remember and think. My job was to turn a tiny 7’x10′ windowless study room into an inviting but not too “clinical” waiting room for the mothers or fathers and siblings of the babies being studied.
We needed to ensure a comfortable place for parents to rock and feed their babies while waiting their turn to go back to the laboratory, as well as a place to change the babies if needed. We wanted to stock some shelves with good books and while the room looks complete, we’re still sourcing something interactive to mount to the wall to help entertain toddlers who want something more active than reading or building blocks.
Since there are no windows, I wanted to bring the outdoors inside. Princeton University‘s colors are orange, gray and black and the history behind those colors is very interesting. It seems there are a lot of squirrels on campus and these colors were selected for the three colors of squirrels often seem scampering around the university grounds. The orange squirrels are now extinct, but the gray and black squirrels are abundant, as I found when touring the campus with my son on installation day. Therefore we wanted to reflect this history in the room and decided to paint silhouettes of squirrels in these three colors throughout the room.
While the ceilings are 10′ high in this tiny room, they’re very drab and boring. Given that it’s a drop ceiling, we can’t paint it a fun color as I typically do in my nurseries and kids’ rooms. To distract from the ugly ceiling, I contacted My Custom Creation through their Etsy shop and commissioned them to create a custom butterfly mobile to suspend from the ceiling to create a swath of butterflies moving across the room. Their customer service was impeccable and the end product was exactly what we wanted!
The flooring in the space was simply coated concrete so I decided to use Flor carpet tiles to give it warmth and a grass-like appeal. These tiles are super easy to install and can easily be removed without any residual on the floor. I’ll be using them more often for sure!

TEW Design StudioIn this project we added paneling to the existing kitchen island and updated lighting, transformed a bonus space into a fun kids play area, added new furnishings and accessories in the main living room. The staircase got a face lift with new bold wallpaper and a family gallery wall. We also finished the upstairs loft with new wall paint, furnishings, and lighting. Bold art and wallpaper make an appearance in these spaces marrying style and function in the complete design.

SGDI - Sarah Gallop Design Inc.This whole home renovation in Maple Ridge, BC turned this already large rancher into a sprawling new home for this family of 5. Additions to this home totalled over 1,500 square feet on all sides of the home. One wing of the rancher houses rooms for the home-owners 3 sons and the other side is the parents retreat. A gourmet kitchen with and island 15 1/2 feet in length are the centre of this home. A beautiful family room and dining room are just off the kitchen, all featuring circular coffered ceilings. The home also has a gym, massive laundry/mud room, home theatre, custom wine room, and kids playroom. A large covered patio was added outside the large sliding doors which opens to have a 10' opening perfect for entertaining family and friends.
