Josephine's Nursery

A reader sent in these beautiful pics of her daughter's nursery - where she included both my Love Candy print in Grapefruit & 'Rejoice' - one of my first Cocoa & Hearts paintings! Which I'll be adding more of at the end of this month!!

I love how she put it all together don't you??

Carter's Nursery....

When a woman has a baby, she also gets a chance to try out her decorating SKILLS. Nurseries are a BIG deal for first time moms..... not only is it a celebration of a NEW life, but a chance to make a space to accommodate the little one!

A fellow blogger named Jenny recently welcomed her baby boy Carter in July & put together a gorgeous baby retreat!

I'm flattered that she even included my Blu Raspberry Love candy print as part of the nursery scheme!  Jenny was also put together a wall of books inspired by Elizabeth Sullivan who did this really cool one for a client, which I posted about here.
 

You can see the slight similarity, except, Jenny's is done on a much smaller scale than Elizabeth's design. Some of my favorite part of this room are the cute little elephant curtains & of course the book shelf !! 

Hope this post will serve as inspiration to you ladies about to have a baby & looking to decorate a nursery!

Nadia Shows Us Her Nursery...

I LOVE looking at nurseries. Even though I don't have any babies of my own, it's always nice to see how people decorate a NURSERY. I've never done it, but one thing I know is that nurseries are NOT what they used to be! I remember when women would choose a PINK room for a girl & a BLUE room for a boy - it was that simple. Nowadays, nursery decor has come a long way!

Moms-to-be are thinking OUT OF THE BOX for their newborn babies - they're deciding on unique color schemes, less Disney & more original artwork instead.

I've been blessed that my ABC customized kids print has been chosen as part of decor for so many kids rooms. In fact I'm definitely seeing A LOT more creativity when it comes to children's rooms & it's always nice to know that the children themselves may pick up on that.

In this post, I'm highlighting a little BOY'S nursery. It's by Nadia of House 36 blog and as you can see...... it's not your typical BLUE room. 

So, what do you think? Do you prefer creativity in a kids room over the same ol' same ol??




A great book that I'd recommend for inspiration is Rooms For Kids by Susanna Salk & Kelly Wearstler. AND...Thank you Nadia!!

Luisa's Bedroom by Angela Cunha...(Via Made By Girl)

I'm back! Sorry for the sudden disappearing act on my part...I had family in town & wasn't able to concentrate on my work for too long! I swear, I feel so behind on everything now. So much for playing tourist! Ha!  

However, thanks to all of you who commented on the GIVEAWAY (one post down) -it's not over yet so please enter. The WINNER will be selected on Monday April 25th! 

Today... I bring you a super CUTE bedroom that belongs to a young girl named Luisa. The pics were mailed to me by Angela Varela Cunha, a Portuguese Interior Designer who reads my blog. I couldn't be happier with what I saw!  

I'm always CURIOUS how other designers from around the WORLD design & decorate a space.  I tend to notice some subtle differences in style, color & even furniture which is always interesting! How about you?  Notice any differences?

Let her know what you like best & if it inspires you! 

 

 How cool are those pink striped walls??

Nursery by Kelsey...(Via Made By Girl)

Kelsey from Daisy Dreaming blog emailed me these super cute pics of her daughter's nursery- and didn't she do a great job? I also LOVED that she incorporated my Love Candy print in Tangerine, which you can get here if you like. 

It's a great feeling to know that one of the 1ST words YOUR child may see will be the word "LOVE".

 

thanks Kelsey!

Yvonne's Home Tour...(Via Made By Girl)

Welcome back - it's nice to say....but I still wish it was the weekend & that I was SUNBATHING on a beach somewhere....  That would be the best case scenario right now.  But till then, I'd like to share fellow blogger, Yvonne's home. 

She blogs over at a super cute blog called Simply Yvonne and recently had a gorgeous baby, whose nursery you can spot below!  She's also a graphic designer & talented photographer....with all that talent, it's no wonder her home is so cute! Hope it inspires you on this Monday....

 And what do you think of the nursery? Cute huh? I love the idea of hanging the baby clothing NEATLY along the wall and displayed openly in the room.
