Los Angeles Based Designer-To-The-Stars Shalena Smith Puts Finishing Touches on Sean Combs' New Nursery

Los Angeles (PRWeb) February 6, 2007 -- Preparing for children can be tough, unless you're Sean "Diddy" Combs. When he and his longtime girlfriend, Kim Porter, learned they would be expecting twin girls, they wasted no time in contacting celebrity nursery designer, Shalena Smith, owner of Ga-Ga designs, to create a magical and cutting edge nursery for the little girls. The nursery took Smith and her crew three months of hard work to come up with the "French Garden" themed nursery, complete with Custom French Cherub Cribs, a Romantic Sky Mural and Princess accessories. Smith just wrapped the finishing touches on the nursery this week.

"This was a fantastic nursery to decorate. Both Sean and Kim have an amazing sense of style and came to Ga-Ga Designs with specific ideas," explains Shalena Smith, owner and head designer, Ga-Ga Designs. "We blended their vision with our expertise, one of a kind designs and safety recommendations to create the perfect space for Jesse and D'Lila."

The "Pretty in Pink" themed haven comes equipped with all the custom items purchased through the Ga-Ga Designs Baby Registry Concierge Service provided for Diddy and Kim's baby shower. The cribs were decorated in satin petal pink linens and the room was topped off with a pink chandelier dazzled with teardrop crystals and cream pearls. Smith landscaped the nursery with hand carved Cherub moldings on each custom piece of furniture and brought in famed painter, Christine Dangelo, to create a wall-length mural of sweet fairies and butterflies in a soft whimsical garden setting.

Keeping with Sean Combs' high-end style, Smith incorporated subtle glitz into the cozy room. For the twin girls, Smith exclusively designed custom painted wall hangings and had the girl's names embossed in swarovski crystals on plaques.

"The room is perfect. It's just what we wanted," explains Kim Porter. "We heard Shalena and Ga Ga Designs is the best in the business and she went beyond our expectations. This nursery is a beautiful palace for our little princesses."
