Brooklyn-based cook Alison Roman is redefining what it means to be a yummy mummy. Between authoring New York Times bestsellers and filming YouTubes Home Movies with Alison Roman, she recently gave birth to her first child with husband Max Cantor. High up on the to-do list before her son arrived was creating a classic babys room with delicious details in her historic Boerum Hill town home.The Sweet Enough author collaborated with Babylist, starting the rooms design with essentials like a boucl glider and walnut wood crib from Babyletto. From there, she introduced a vintage dresser that she already owned, sharing: I mean, Ill buy furniture from anywhere if its old. She repurposed it by adding a changing pad and sprinkled decorative items throughout the room that contribute a sense of character and warmth. Perhaps, even, a sense of provenance.The result is a charming room that is, well, sweet enough while also feeling authentic to the houses historic bonesas well as to Roman and Cantors enviable taste. It flows with the rest of the house, which has a lot of neutrals and pops of jewel tones and warm earth tones and is very cozy, very homey. We just wanted to make sure that this room felt like an extension of that. Nothing too precious, nothing too breakable, she says.We really want a lot of books in the room. Were taking cues from people we know who have already had kids, which is basically: Keep stuff in baskets and have a lot of books. You need less than you think, Roman says.Photo: Christian HarderThe finishing touches will continue to be introducedfor example, burgundy window shades were installed post-photo shoot. The process is organic. Plants will be introduced with the seasons, Roman shares: We love plants. We have a lot of them. We think it brings a lot to the space to have some greenery and things that are alive. At the time of our interview, a cactus was residing in one of the rooms corners, but Roman wasnt sold on it. Weve got some other plants we can audition for that space. I dont want anyone to be worried that were going to leave a cactus in the room with a baby.Days before Romanss baby boy made his debut, Architectural Digest chatted with the New York personalitywho is famous for recipes like her Caramelized Shallot Pastaabout the darling room she designed with Babylist:
