Hi perfects,
There are projects that I will always remember, and this was one of them. I met the little Lucas while D. was still pregnant of him, the first son and first grandchild on both sides. The real (good) madness at their home! A loving family, joyful, fun and, of course, a little bit anxious waiting for the baby doll. A mother who was clearly building the nest and a father, such a dear, willing to make his wife happy, but sometimes a little bit confused with that whirlwind of changes throughout the house. A scenario that is quite common. :) This baby boy was born in August and the month before the holidays is almost as the month before Christmas, quite crazy at work, because many suppliers close in August and I also take a few days off . :)
The mother took part in the choices too, she wanted to go shopping with me (I have to confess that I am not very used to it. I usually take more decisions alone, I present the ideas, the concept and then choose the final details.) :) The grandmother also participated in making some details for the room. I found all of this quite lovely, as it implied I had to make some adjustments and to listen to the mum's concerns and needs. We have even made some pretty funny DIY: the mobile - the little planes were flying everywhere when they were painted ;) and balloons pulling the name Lucas, which eventually added something special to this project.
Still, baby Lucas' mother, let me finish the whole decor of the room without seeing it, so that she could be surprised at the end. When she saw the result, she thanked me, hugged me with tears in her eyes and said, 'Son, you can be born, everything is ready for you!' (hope I'm not being too indiscreet D.!) :(. The truth is that what I love most in the interior design, besides the entire creative process, idea generation, or the research, is really watching the joy of my clients. Their face looking at everything, at every detail, the expectations put on that new space. I'm a 'crybaby' who did not know what to do! I didn't want to cry ... next to me was a pregnant women, almost in the end of the pregnancy, and I know it's not time for big thrills! Everything went well, Lucas is a lovely, perfect, a sweet (at least for me, as I don't have to wake up in the night to give you milk!!) ... but you can see in that in the pictures that have been taken when he was 3 month old! Super Love.
Concerning the colors chosen, D. didn't wanted to choose the traditional baby blue and loved the balloons' fabric collection, which has various shades of blue, lime and water green. Untraditional colors in a nursery, but that result beautifully and very harmonious. Also, allow parents to give a sister to little because as it works for both genders. I was very happy with the result. Do you like it? If you have question, please let me know!
Olá perfects,

Olá perfects,
Há projetos que nos marcam para sempre e este foi um deles. Conheci o pequeno Lucas na barriga da sua mãe, o primeiro filho e primeiro neto dos dois lados. A autêntica loucura (boa) lá em casa! Uma família amorosa, alegre, divertida e, como é natural, um pouquinho ansiosa à espera do boneco. Uma mãe que estava nitidamente a construir o ninho e um pai, bem querido, com enorme vontade de ver a mãe feliz, mas por vezes um pouco baralhado com aquele turbilhão de mudanças por toda a casa. Um cenário que é bastante comum. :) Este menino nasceu em Agosto e o mês que antecede as férias é, mais ou menos, como o mês que antecede o Natal, uma loucura de trabalho, até porque vários fornecedores fecham no mês de Agosto e eu própria tenho uns dias de férias. :)
A mãe participou muito nas escolhas, quis ir comigo às compras (tenho de confessar que não estou muito habituada, costumo tomar mais decisões sozinha, apresento as ideias, o conceito e depois escolho os pormenores finais.) :) A avó também participou fazendo alguns pormenores para o quarto. A tudo isso achei uma enorme graça, pois obrigou-me a ajustar e a ouvir mais as preocupações e as necessidades da mãe. Até fizemos uns elemento de bricolage bem engraçados: o móbil dos aviões que voavam por todo o lado quando eram pintados ;) e os balões a puxar as letrinhas Lucas, que acabaram por marcar este projeto.
Mesmo assim, a mãe do pequeno Lucas, deixou que eu terminasse toda a decoração do quarto sem ela ver, para que pudesse ser surpreendida no fim. Quando viu o resultado agradeceu-me, abraçou-me com as lágrimas nos olhos e disse: 'filho, vês já podes nascer, está tudo pronto para ti!' (espero não estar a ser muito indiscreta D.!) :(. A verdade é que o que mais adoro na decoração, além de todo o processo criativo, da idealização, da pesquisa, é mesmo da alegria final dos meus clientes. Da sua cara a ver tudo, a olhar os pormenores, das expectativas que colocam naquele espaço renovado. Eu que sou uma chorona de primeira, não sabia o que havia de fazer! Não queria chorar... tinha ao meu lado uma grávida no fim de tempo, emocionada e eu bem sei que não é altura para grandes emoções! Tudo correu bem, o Lucas é um boneco, perfeitinho, um doce (pelo menos para mim que não tenho de acordar de noite para lhe dar leitinho!!) ...mas isso podem ver nas fotos, que já foram tiradas quando ele tinha 3 mesinhos! Super Love.
Quanto às cores escolhidas, a D. queria fugir ao tradicional azul bebé e adorou a colecção dos tecidos dos balões, que tem vários tons de azul, um lima e verde água. Cores pouco tradicionais num quarto de bebé, mas que resultam lindamente e muito harmoniosas. Além disso, permitem que os pais dêem uma irmã ao pequenino, pois resulta para ambos os sexos. Fiquei muito feliz com o resultado. Vocês gostam?
