Wall Hanging Desk

A really cool space saver desk from Junior Living. I love the styling as well. That black rabbit on top is darling. Some of my favorite wall decals are simple, black silhouettes!

One Print, Three Rooms: Part 3

On Monday and Wednesday, I introduced the first and second design in my new series – One Print, Three Rooms. In case you missed it, I’m using a painting or print as a source of inspiration to create a series of three different spaces. This week, I’ve been working with this amazing alphabet print from Etsy seller Ampersand:

In the first design, I used mossy greens and muted blues with just a few pops of pink and yellow, while design number two was full of creamy yellows and peony pinks. For the third and final design I went with pear green walls and vintage accents:

Per reader request I’m listing the total price for each idea board for comparison. This version comes in at $2344, although a large portion of that is the Oeuf bunk bed. A less expensive bunk bed can be found here, which would make the total price $1164.74.

And finally, here are all three spaces side by side:

So that wraps up this series of One Print, Three Spaces. Stay tuned – the next series will be all about snips and snails and puppy dog tails!

Thinking Ouside of the Basket

It’s Violet’s first Easter this year, and I’ve been at a bit of a loss when it comes to a basket. The H-Haus is teeny tiny, and storage for big woven Easter baskets is virtually non-existent.

So I thought instead of a traditional Easter basket, why not go with a handmade cloth bin? You could find one that’s covered in bunnies and eggs or go with a more neutral choice that can be used year-round – they’re great for corralling books, toys, you name it! And bonus – most fold flat for easy storage. Here are a few of my favorites:

Easter’s just around the corner, so hop to it!

Sunshine Kids Stow ‘N Go Car Organizer

i did some online shopping last night while watching the Real Housewives of Miami. i can’t decide if i like the Miami ladies yet- what do you think?

i purchased this car organizerfor the kids. (only $9.99!)

i’m hoping it keeps our car toys/STUFF a bit more organized. i am also thinking of putting an extra diaper, some wipes, and a sippy cup in it for emergencies! i’ll let you know what i think as soon as it arrives.

pretty storage bins

it seems like so many nurseries have the same square storage bins. you know, the ones that fit perfectly on that IKEA shelf full of cubbies. (i myself have them!)
