Ashley from House of Five recently made over her sons bedroom, and it stopped me in my tracks. I had to ask her to share it with us! I asked Ashley how she came up with the design idea for this darling “Americana” themed bedroom. I love the reason she chose this theme. Come see why it means so much to her and a complete list of sources.
When I saw Ashlea from This is Mamas Dance sons shared bunk bedroom my jaw dropped! I love the bunkbeds that she built with her husband. My favorite is the vintage lockers and all the charm and personal touches she put into their room. This bedroom will give you design ideas for your entire home. It is a must see.
Brittany from Addison Wonderland is known for her bold use of color and pattern. In a world of neutrals, whites and grays it is a fun welcome change. I asked Brittany to share one of her kids rooms for my article in Everything Home Magazine for column on Kids Spaces that I write for. She shared her daughters play room and some fun design tips. Her daughters are pretty lucky girls to get to use their imagination in this space.
We live less than a mile to the beach, one of the reasons why we chose to live where we live and in a smaller Cape style home. The weather has been so weird, really rainy it seems and colder than normal. Finally we had a nice night and decided to go. It was a little too cold to swim and it was after dinner, but I know my five year old would have swam if we let her. It was a great night to play in the sand and have ice-cream cones. Now that we are beach bums, we have learned a few things about making beach life a little easier.
I love anything that Cami shares on her blog Tidbits. I first noticed her kitchen then fell in love with the rest of her home. That included her daughters shared bedroom. I wanted to get the full scoop and share it for my column I write for Everything Home Magazine on kids spaces.
I get asked often on my Instagram account if we own a TV. We actually do, we have one in our family room upstairs. They girls normally watch maybe a 20 minute show a day. We just aren’t in the habit of watching it. We love music on and creating. I thought I would share some of things my girls have been loving this past month and a few things I love too. Hopefully to inspire more creativity in the home and also great gift ideas.
It doesn’t matter the size of the space, even in a tiny house everyone can have an area that inspires them to create and play. And honestly with an organized clean play area it creates play more often and encourages them to keep it nice and clean up when they are done. Read about the updates we did to create an inspiring area with a chalkboard wall and other ways DIY touches.
We are thrilled to be welcoming our baby boy soon into this world. We had been trying to have another baby for close to two years and I found out the most unexpected way we were finally pregnant. As I type this I am exactly 38 weeks. Getting closer and the anticipation of seeing his little face and wondering how it will all happen is just beyond exciting. Thankful we don’t have to worry about finishing his bedroom, it is complete and I am excited to share it with you…
I am so excited to share our little baby boys nursery with you this Friday! I have been stressed about getting this done in time for our baby boy who is due May 1st, I know babies don’t need much but I didn’t want to be working on a big project right after he was born. But rest assured the nursery is actually done. I wanted to share my inspiration and my idea board for this little boys nursery and a peek into some of the things we have done…
Mollie from Design Detail daughters bedroom caught my eye when I saw her statement painted floral walls. I shared the photo on my Instagram and it got so many compliments. Everyone loved the floral wall that was inspired by Rifle Paper Co. I had to find out how she created it and see the rest of the bedroom…
We had these Ikea white cabinets with the plastic bins in the girls playroom in our old house. I know you have all seen them if you don’t own one yourself. The plastic always kind of bothered me, but I thought “relax Brooke, it’s a play room.” Now that we are in a smaller house we use the bins in the girls bedroom. They have a good size bedroom and there was plenty of room for toys. But now that it is all open the plastic bothered me even more. So I came up with a Ikea hack to create something more pleasing to the eye.
