Fabric Lust:

So to continue the post about 'V's playroom, eventually I'd love to make bench cushions for the Expedit Shelves. This way, there will be a comfortable place to sit, especially for grandparents. I was really excited when I found this great tutorial on how to make them! I have zero sewing skills, and this tutorial by IHeart Organizing was right up my alley! Now comes the hard part. Which fabric to use!!

 

See all the great fabric selections from this store!

You can order samples for a $1 each!

 

V's Playroom:

After my husband was diagnosed with cancer, we knew our lives would be turned upside down. We knew there would be a lot of hospital stays, so we had to make a special place for our Victoria  to play.  Back in September I had started looking for ideas on kids modern playrooms. We knew the most cost effective way to go was IKEA, but we didn't really like the kids furniture because of the colors. So we found pieces that could easily be incorporated in a kid's room, and still be useful afterwards. It's still a work in progress, but at least she now has a retreat while daddy is busy getting better.

 

1. Expedit Shelves 59.99

They are the perfect height so she can easily access her books and toys.

 

2. Skubb Bins 14.99 for set of 3

Perfect for holding her lose toys, while keeping them well hidden

 

3. Gladsax Frames 7.99

I designed the posters and got them printed at a local printer

 

4. Lack Side Table 9.99

We didn't like the children's table, and this side table was the perfect fit for a third of the price.

 

5. Mammut Children's Stool 7.99

Adds a touch of playfulness to the room

Home Office:

Im dying to have a little corner (or entire room)  at home to call my own. Someday I'd love to have a cozy home office where I can escape and design. These home offices below are very inspiring!

Baby Chic:

Sometimes I wonder why it's not very common to find stylish and simple baby bedding. For the record, I'm not pregnant, but I have been to plenty of baby showers to know what's available out there. Thank goodness though, there are a few places that are catching up with those stylish moms and providing chic alternatives to bears and butterflies! Here are some dreamy nurseries that could be fitting for either a boy or a girl. They're a little pricey, but it's nice to daydream!

What's your design style:

I seem to have various alter egos depending on my mood. Sometimes I absolutely adore the feeling of cozy feminine decor and other times I love the look of crisp modern lines!
