Nursery Inspiration Board

Let the baby planning begin!  Who am I kidding...give me a reason to shop, paint and decorate and I am one happy camper!  Here's what I've come up with so far:

We are hoping to marry rustic + modern.  My main goal was to create something not too baby, that would grow with her.  Our biggest task is to get our bench seat built in the nook area.  We'll be painting bold, black and white stripes in the nook, and Sherwin-Williams Worldly Grey will be on the rest of the walls in the room.  I'm using Caitlin Wilson's Navy Fleur Chinoise Fabric as the starting point of the color scheme.  I've already scored that ah-mazing lamp and created my "You Are My Sunshine" art!  Now to clean all the clutter out of the room so we can start on it already!

Sooo what do you think?!  Is it bad that I kind of want this room for myself?!  See you in a couple of days for Fab Find Friday!!

Getting Ready for Guests!

TGIF!  With high hopes of having some guests this summer, I've got my Guest Bedroom on the brain.  I haven't touched it since we moved in so I'm starting from scratch.  Here's what I came up with this morning...

I've been eyeing Caitlin Wilson's Textiles and got inspired by her color scheme.  I want something feminine but a place guys would like too.  The bed frame I have is actually my grandpa's that he used growing up.  It's similar to the one pictured, but has blonde wood that I'll be staining a dark walnut.  Sooo whatcha think?  Too boring?  Too girly?  Just right?  I'd love your opinions!  See you next week!

Let the Tablescape Planning Begin!

Happy Monday!  If you "like" me on Facebook, you got a little peek of my new office edition.  I'll be posting non-iPhone pics soon, as well as sharing my best buys from my weekend in Little Rock!  For now, my mind is all Thanksgiving, all the time.  We are hosting this year and I've been brainstorming decorating ideas for the last few weeks.  I thought I'd share my process with you as I go in an effort to countdown to my favorite feasting holiday!

Step 1:  Pick a color.  Aaaany color!

SOURCE UNKNOWN

There are no rules.  Thanksgiving doesn't limit you to orange, red, and brown.  I prefer to start with a textile and go from there.  In an effort to use what I've got, I found a great light blue and white chevron fabric in my closet just dying to be put to good use.  Pair that with a punch of orange and we've got a winner!  Then, I spent some time on pinterest checking out all that is blue and orange.  Here's what I found:

So, where are you getting your Thanksgiving tablescape inspiration?  A piece of fabric?  Your favorite side dish?  Or a current color-combo crush?  Have a great day y'all!

Textile Lovers Rejoice!

Let me start by saying that if I could afford it, I would own every. single. one. of these fabrics!  Caitlin Wilson launched Caitlin Wilson Textiles this week and they had me at hello.  I've been anxiously awaiting the launch since her teaser post, giving us just a peek at what was going on behind the scenes.  So go, peruse her beautiful and coordinating (yep, she already did the work for you) fabrics and pillows.  Oh, and grab your pocketbook because you won't be able to say no...

Modern Nursery Design Board

After finding all of those amazing mustard yellow and dusty pink combinations out there in the beautiful land of Pinterest, I decided to create my own.  How cute would those colors be in a modern nursery?  So, I made one.  And I love it!

1. Number Wall Art-cute enough for a nursery up through the toddler years, but artsy when placed elsewhere in the home.  A great addition to any office or living room.

2. White Resin Deer Head-modern rustic at it's best.  Adds an element of surprise in a girl's nursery, but the glossy white finish softens the look.

3. Eames Rocker-a great rocker and an even better statement piece.  Bonus points if you have an original!

4. Striped Rug-another great item that will get lots of use years down the road!

5. Panel Crib-this crib also converts into a toddler bed.

6. Bird Mobile-loved the textures, sophistication and price!  Thinking this would be a great DIY too!

7. Tulip Pillow-these really tie the room together and would look super cute in a guest bedroom!

8. Benjamin Moore Silver Chain Paint

9. Amy Butler fabrics for bedding and curtains-Honeycomb Linen , Martini Linen, Fresh Poppies Ivory (I even found the crib set here)

There are a few things (besides the color combo) that I really love about this room.  The rocker, rug, deer mount, art, and pillows could all be reused elsewhere after the baby has grown out of them.  Who wants to buy a bunch of decor for just a couple of years anyways?  Not to mention it isn't obvious nursery decor.  There is a slight sophistication when you use mustard instead of bright yellow.  And the mobile is genius.  The rustic stick hanger paired with the texture of the birds is art in itself.

Did you notice my sweet logo that was also in my favorite color combo?  That's just the start of my blog changes!  Be on the look out for a new look and a new name!  Details coming to you shortly!

Color Combo Crush

I officially have a new color combo crush:  mustard yellow and dusty pink.  I know, it sounds crazy.  But feast your eyes on this loveliness:

Not much pink (besides the inside of the flats), but how cute is this look?  Loving the jacket!

Yep.  I'm gonna need a couple of those pillows.  This color combo inspired me so much, that I have a special mustard yellow and dusty pink project in the works.  Here's a little sneak peek:

Ahhh, I love it!  And it's all thanks to Jenna over at q.a. design! Big changes coming soon!

Be Inspired...Navy and Gold

T.G.I.F!  This week has been jam-packed full of work at work, work at home, work with the Mr., and I'm exhausted!  This week, I started working on a Home Office for a client and thought I would leave you with some eye candy for the weekend!  Here's a hint at the color scheme we'll be going with...enjoy!
