Spotlight on: Mod Spa

For the lovers of all things mod, Javis Davis has rolled out another fabulous fabric collection just for you. The new Mod Spa collection bring together a sweet selection of subtle browns and cool blues with a more modern spin. This great Spa Swirl fabric leads the collection with a delicious blue that makes me want to run and jump in a pool. This is a really fun group of prints and solids to play with because you can go in so many directions...

Accessories from left to right, top to bottom: Stagecoach Valance in Spa Swirl, Barcode, and Sateen Old Ivory; Square Corded Pillow in Spa Swirl, Barcode, and Primatex Khaki; Round Button Pillow in Splendor Robins Egg, Barcode, and Primatex Khaki

Spotlight on: Coral Vine

Nothing says sweet sophistication like this gorgeous Coral Vine fabric collection at Javis Davis. Rich tones of mossy green and chocolate brown and sweet touches of pink bring this fabulous floral pattern to life. The collection has a classic feel with a bit of modern whimsy. A most perfect choice for a sweet baby girl's nursery or a delicious look for any age. This is one collection with endless possibilities and timeless charm.

Accessories shown from top to bottom, left to right: Stagecoach valance in Coral & Olive Stripe, Olive Wavy, and Cub Geranium; Square Pillow with Ruffle in Coral Vine, Full Moon Dots Lime, and Cub Geranium; Neckroll with bows in Full Moon Dots Lime, Coral & Olive Stripe, and Coral Vine; Tab Valance with border in Coral Vine, Olive Wavy, and Full Moon Dots Lime.

New Fabric Collections!

If you were browsing around Javis Davis' site last week, you may've noticed two new collections that popped up. First, let's discuss how stinkin' cute this new "Robot" fabric group is... I love the rocket and robot figures in the main fabric, and the collection as a whole highlights one of my favorite color combos - orange and pool blue. Orange is such a fun color, but it often gets left in the crayon box. It's time to break it out!

Also recently added at Javis Davis is the beautiful "Bollywood" collection with this gorgeous paisley print leading the pack. I am loving the warm, deep purple mixed in with some cooler shades of pink and violet, and a splash of (once again) orange! A little girl with this fabulous bedding is sure to have some sass. Feast your eyes on a couple of crib bedding combos designed with the Bollywood fabrics...

Hop on Javis Davis and play around with these fun new collections and see what you can come up with... the possibilities are endless. And don't forget - you don't have to use all the fabrics in any given collection. Notice I didn't use the paisley print at all in that last crib design. You can work with as many or as few of the fabrics as you want. It's all about creating the perfect look for you and your little one!

Spotlight on: Central Park Sky

Whether you're going for a funky mod look or a classic sweet and simple feel, Javis Davis has it all... This gorgeous Central Park Sky collection is one of my favorites and it's easy to see why. The lovely toile fabric is timeless and works beautifully for a boy or a girl. While it's obvious I'm a fan of lots of color, I also love the pure look of very subtle uses of color in a nursery. It can make for a very luxurious, regal look... and just like baby, oh-so sweet.

What else is cool? Two moms could be working with this same fabric collection and come out with two completely different looks. That's the beauty of custom design!

But "custom" means expensive, right? Please... you're talking to a girl here who's all about great style on a dime. Both of these crib creations above sell for less than $400. Below are a few more fabulous accessories designed with this collection. Enjoy!

Accessories from top to bottom, left to right: Balloon Valance with Ruffle in Sky Baby Toile and Shalimar Parchment; Square Pillow with Bow Tie in Sky Baby Toile, Emp Stripe Candlelight, and Essex Blue Linen; Square Pillow with Ruffle in Sky Baby Toile; Swivel Glider in Sky Baby Toile and Essex Blue Linen.

All About Javis Davis.

A couple of years ago I was perusing around Posh Cravings (a great site for stylish moms and moms-to-be) and I found a link to a custom baby and kids' bedding site. It was then that I was introduced to the pure fabulousness (yep, that's a word) of Javis Davis.

It truly was love at first click. This amazing website allows you to design your own crib sets and accessories from a collection of gorgeous fabrics at really affordable prices. Their online crib configurator is like no other... I could spend hours online designing different crib sets!

So I did the normal thing I do when I find a cool website I want to remember... I add it to my "favorites" and I sign up for their email newsletters and updates. (It's for this reason that my inbox is constantly overflowing with emails from a gazillion different retailers.) Fast forward to early 2009 and I receive one of their emails, but this wasn't the usual newsletter. Javis Davis was on the hunt for design partners. When I read the description of the kind of person they were looking for, I knew it fit me completely. My heart skipped a beat...


I had always thought of getting into nursery styling and design at some point. I knew I had the talent and the desire, but where in the world would I start? Of one thing I was sure... I absolutely adored baby rooms. A nursery is truly a magical little utopia of a space that can be anything you want it to be. It's the one room where you can really feel free to deviate from the décor that consumes the rest of your home and have some real fun. And a nursery is one of the few rooms with a specific purpose... an immediate need... a must-do project. You've got to make room, so why not make it fabulous?

And the people at Javis Davis seem to really get this concept. Their take on baby and kids' bedding is so different from the cookie cutter collections you come across in the big name stores. Moms are able to put something together that expresses their own individuality and style. So, as you can imagine, this unexpected opportunity in my inbox to partner with this great company really got my wheels turning. I spent a good two hours at home on a Friday night filling out the application. A couple of weeks later, I was on the phone with the owner and creator of Javis Davis. She was thrilled with what I had to offer, and I was ecstatic to be accepted as the design partner for Atlanta!

As a design partner with Javis Davis, I'm able to bring the incredible offerings of the website to real life. I've got all the fabrics on hand, along with samples of the different products for you to touch and feel. As advanced as the company's website technology is, there's still nothing like seeing the different fabrics in person. Admittedly, a few of the collections online that I thought were just OK became some of my favorites once I got my hands on them in person! Being able to see them all up close and personal in the comfort of your own home is a great advantage. A lot of moms have a vision of what they want in a nursery, but others have no idea where to begin... either way, I'm your girl.

I'm looking forward to working with moms and moms-to-be all over the city of Atlanta and beyond. You're certainly welcome to contact me from wherever you are and we can work together over the phone! But a lot of the fun will come from getting to see people's spaces in person and helping them bring a dream nursery to life... whether it's through bedding alone or from top to bottom, wall to wall. So let's get to it, mommas! Make room!

Spotlight on: Leo

Mary Peyton at Javis Davis designed a fabulous banner for this new blog. We gotta get it started off right, don't we, girls? This look was inspired by the Leo collection. I often find myself migrating toward the brighter, more colorful patterns and this one leapt off the screen at me the first time I saw it. You'll see a lot of the pink hues picked up with the coordinating fabrics in this collection, but this one could easily work for a boy, too.

Because Javis Davis puts you in the driver's seat, you can pick and choose which fabrics you want to use from any given collection. One momma may pull out a lot of the pink in this group for a girl, while the next might play up the greens and blues for an entirely different look. How fun is that?!

For some inspiration, check out these gorgeous pillows made with fabrics from this collection...

From left to right, top to bottom: Square Cord Pillow in Rasberry Dots, Essex Lime Linen, and White Pique; Square Flange Pillow in Leo; Neckroll with Bows in Go Go Stripes and Essex Lime Linen; Square Pillow with Button in White Pique, Go Go Stripes, and Essex Lime Linen.

Update (5/17/2009) - Sadly, the fab Leo collection is OUT and has been pulled from the site. I hated to see it go, as it's obviously one of my faves! If you love the colors used in the Leo collection, be sure to log on to Javis Davis and check out the "Mod, Mod World" fabrics for a similar look.
