CELEBRITY NURSERY DESIGNER SHALENA SMITH ON NBC’S “YOUR L.A.”

LOS ANGELES – March 6, 2007 -- Celebrity Designer Shalena Smith was put the test when NBC's “Your LA” television show gave her 24 hours and a budget of $4000, to pull together an empty room for a baby boy that is due any day. Watch Shalena give quick tips on how you can create a custom designed nursery on a budget and what you can do to make your nursery feel unique and dreamy. “I can create the nursery of your dreams on any budget,” explains Shalena Smith, owner and head designer, Ga-Ga Designs. “It’s all about being creative with the few existing items my clients already have and combining it with custom pieces.

Everything doesn’t have to be expensive. Often my rule of thumb is less is more.” The host of the NBC segment, Yvonne Cohen, had only 2 weeks before her due date when she sought out Smith baby trend expert of Ga Ga Designs. Cohen, pregnant with her second child after 10 years, needed Smith’s expertise in nursery decorating as well as her updated product knowledge and current safety tips. Cohen also challenged Smith to transfer her empty room into a nursery that would sustain overtime. Cohen wanted the nursery to also be a room that her son could grow old in. A challenge easily met by Smith.

“Shalena was affordable and stayed within the budget,”explains Cohen. “I haven’t had a baby in so long it was a comfort being guided by her.”
