Dressing up in the Dollhouse

A room for Baby and family to cherish forever

The arrival of a new baby, for most new parents, means creating a nusery room - a place that will be a safe and beautiful haven for their newborn. Whether this entails painting or wallpapering the walls or refinishing an antique rocker, you want this room to be as special as possible for you and your baby.

Among the many decorators and designers of baby wares out there, there is one that stands alone in her commitment to quality and passion for children and their nurseries. Nava Designs creates rooms filled with magic, whimsy and imagination. Through her designs, Nava Writz-Shoham, continuously tries to tell a "story" that reminds parents to enjoy their young child, especially those years when they are an infant and so dependent upon loving care and surroundings.

Ellen Anvari of Bellini in Rockville, Maryland has worked with Writz-Shoham for years. "We carry Nava Designs. Nava has unique and different fabrics. She uses lots of silks and jacards. The fabrics she picks and designs are special, definitely high end and very beautiful."

The names of Nava's sets give the customer a good idea of what their baby's future room will look like. She chooses the name to express the feeling and mood that goes with each design. Some names are "Whimsical Wish," "Heaven Sent," and "Dream Come True." Nava's custom designed beddings are meant to be kept and shared as a treasured family heirloom - small links between a child's past and the present. The design of "Dollhouse" and "Dress Up" were created out of the nostalgic feeling of being a child again. The fabrics and their luxurious textures make you relive the childhood period in your own life and make you happy that you are sharing the same with your own child.

Fun accessories in the same design

For all of Nava.$B'7.(Bs beddings there are many matching items to add such as stars, wall hangings, humpty dumpty, bear on the moon, mobiles, toy bags, diaper bags, tissue box cover, tootsie rolls, pillows, and the one is cuter than the other.
Nava.$B'7.(Bs choices and designs are diverse so that anyone can find a match for their tastes. At the same time every design is unique and made with a high level of rare craftsmanship and attention to detail.

For founder and designer, Writz-Shoham, the ultimate thrill is visiting stores that sell her bedding and connecting to her customers, especially ones that are new to Nava Designs. Expecting parents want to give their newborns the best in baby bedding.

"To witness the joy people have in choosing their nursery makes you realize how children make our lives so much richer," Nava says. She is continuously decorating baby's nurseries. Often you hear her say, "If Jordan or Ariel (her sons) were born nowadays, this (new design) would be my choice. Or if I had a daughter, I would call her Gabriella, and this would be my choice for her."

This level of personal attention, care, and imagination comes through in the quality of the bedding and designs. Anvari agrees. "Not only does she (Nava) know your name, she knows your husband, your child's name, etc. She really cares about the client. It goes beyond just sales - she wants to know all about you."

Nava loves to receive pictures of babies and their Nava nurseries. "At times I just feel that these images are a reflection of my creative flow." And as anyone who has ever treated themselves and their baby to one of Nava's Design's knows, there is plent of creativity - and love - flowing through them.
