Priya is quite the little artist in the making. It dawned on me that her room should be an expression of her style, her passions, and her own creations.” – Ursula Carmona
Together, mother and daughter listed items they could design themselves and started creating. “One day as I was sizing up her room for a remodel, I watched her deeply absorbed in sketching flowers to display on her cork board. Right then and there we began making a list of things she could design and create for her own room. You can imagine how thrilled I was when I learned that you could print your own designs on fabric and wallpaper through Spoonflower! It was a match made in DIY heaven.”

With Priya’s designs, Spoonflower’s Cypress Cotton Canvas, and some elbow grease, Ursula revamped her daughter’s room into an expressive space full of personal touches. “There is something wonder-filled about taking an idea and seeing it become a physical product in your hand. I love that Spoonflower has handed the common person the ability to let their creativity soar and feel like a designer in their own right. I believe it opened her imagination to the world of possibilities.”

From the custom upholstered headboard to Spoonflower’s cushy throw pillows, Ursula and Priya’s vision was realized through their own creativity and discerning taste. Ursula is a proponent of tasteful design on a budget—but for her, being frugal doesn’t mean sacrificing style.
“Bringing your own custom DIY touches to a space is an amazing way show off your style and make your home uniquely yours. Start simple and work your way up: reupholster a bench, make a pin board from your own fabric, make your own cafe curtains. You are only limited by your imagination.” – Ursula
