Home Trends - Spring 2016 | Page 51

When Aiden Cowburn, a property manager, and her husband Andrew, a national sales manager, learned they were expecting a little girl, Aiden wanted a room that could grow with their daughter. Designer Christine Elliott had worked with the homeowners before. She designed several rooms in their 3,477 sq. ft. home inspired by a painting of their family cottage. Both Christine and Aiden were inspired by Aurora’s birth month — June. “I was thrilled when we found out we were expecting a girl,” Aiden notes, “I wanted a very girly room. I think the spring garden colours and concept emerged naturally.” When Christine learned that Aiden was expecting a girl she started to look at floral fabrics to find the inspiration piece. “I do this with all my projects. I find the inspiration piece first, then build my design around it.” CANADIANHOMETRENDS.COM 51
