Bohemian and Classic Nursery

A bohemian and classic nursery… be still my boy mom heart! I was a bit stumped at first on how to combine the two styles but I think the color pallet helped guide my choices in fabrics and textures and will help the room flow.

To start a room design board, I ask the client for inspiration pictures and color tones that they love. The pictures are everything to me because what one person may call classic/traditional, another maybe call modern… ya never know. The color pallet immediate puts a vision of the large items in the room and ways to build around those with fun patterns. And have I mentioned that it’s super fun spending other people’s money? My husband just loves that part of these projects

I still have some tweaking to do, but it’s coming along… just gonna need that baby girl to really complete it!

Wall Colors: Benjamin Moore Love and Happiness (pink) and Benjamin Moore White Dove

I have to mention that the painting can be customized and is done by my beautiful and talented friend Courtney, at Etsy shop, SurLaToile. Her work is just gorgeous and so heartfelt!

I look forward to showing the final reveal!

Super Hero Big Boy Room

My baby boy is now a big boy! It’s hard to believe… and to stop myself from weeping I will use the occasion to redecorate. It is a form of therapy after all!
Now he has had a few super hero things in his room for awhile- like these pics that I bought as floor models from Pottery Barn Kids…

and before you judge me… no those are not finger prints on them… it is some kind of weird reflection… maybe…

Anyway! I decided I wanted to add some more Super Hero to the long, blue accent wall above his bed and had seen some old Comic Book Quote Words in the Pottery Barn Kids store framed really cute- I wanted to buy them but they weren’t for sale!! what!? I know!!

I mean why taunt me like that- it was literally the store managers idea- and of course I didn’t have my camera so I just took a mental shot of them and left the store angry, mad, and confused!

Oh and then I went to Hobby Lobby to get justice and recreate them myself.

After some thought and wandering aimlessly around the store I found some frames (50% off- $7 each) and some blue matting (50% off $2each) and was about to buy some different scrap paper when it hit me that felt would give it a lot more texture- so the light shined down on me and yes… 50% off sheets of felt which meant that they were practically nothing!!

Awesome! now I just needed to go home and try to make these puppies…
Patience is not one of my strongest virtues- when I think of a project I want it done yesterday- so I had to slow myself down and map it all out and after cutting ten a couple different sizes and shapes and using chalk to outline the words on the felt (it rubs right off after you are done cutting) I came up with this….

I think they came out ok and Little Man Loves them so that makes me super happy!
So for about $30 total I like the added Super Hero Quotes!

Makes me want to find some old comic books and frame those or something… wheels keep on turnin people!!
