Ariella’s Room
Dreaming in a sea of Blue...
A spirited 8-year-old radiating childhood innocence. Amidst her mother’s brave battle with stage 4 cancer, crafting a sanctuary for Ariella to embrace playfulness and joy. Witnessing Ariella's delight becomes Jennie's most potent source of strength and healing.
Even in the face of uncertainty, a safe and happy space reminds a child they are never alone.
Medicine for a parent isn’t just in treatments or care - it’s in seeing their child happy, safe, and full of joy. But for 8-year-old Ariella, joy has often been overshadowed by the weight of grown-up worries. As her mother, Jennie, bravely fights stage 4 colon cancer, Ariella’s world has been shaped by hospital visits, whispered conversations, and the quiet understanding that life is changing. In the midst of it all, she deserved a space that allowed her to escape - one where she could still be a child, dream big, and feel wrapped in the love her mother has always given her.
By adorning Ariella's room with her favorite things, we're not just organizing shelves but weaving a tapestry of memories and comfort.
Her room, once filled with baby furniture, no longer reflected the bright and curious girl she is today. It was time to give her more than just a makeover; she needed a sanctuary. We reimagined every inch of her space, creating storage solutions that brought order to her cherished belongings and expanding areas where she could express herself freely. Now, she has room to cartwheel from floor to bed, to explore every corner with wonder, and to embrace the playfulness that should define childhood, not the burdens of adulthood.
Every detail was chosen with intention. Her walls now whisper words of encouragement, her bed - cozy and inviting - offers comfort after long days, and a soft, washable rug adds warmth beneath her feet. A trundle bed welcomes future sleepovers, reminding her that even in tough times, friendship and laughter remain. This room isn’t just about design - it’s about preserving innocence, nurturing happiness, and giving Ariella a space where she feels safe, free, and deeply loved.
