The guest bedroom in her Ponsonby villa was going to be a basic baby room with just the essentials. But when she started looking into all the things she’d need, Jade fell into a whole new world of interesting and beautiful furniture and objects. “I couldn’t resist the opportunity to create a fun and interesting space for baby,” she says.
