I was recently introduced to Brian Hibbard’s art represented by the Shain Gallery in Charlotte, NC.  Here are a few of his pieces.

I love art that is not room specific and can transition to various rooms around the house.  I chose one of his pieces to demonstrate just what I mean.  This beautiful piece would make quite a statement over the crib of a nursery or in the foyer entrance to the home.

I am sure you have heard of the amazing powers of a can of paint…but it really is true.  One of the quickest and easiest ways to freshen up a room or a piece of furniture is with some paint.

I recently updated an old green chest with some fresh white paint and a can of hot pink spray paint to finish off a little corner of my baby’s nursery.  And lo and behold…

BEFORE

AFTER

So much better, right?!?!  The chest itself got a coat of Sherwin Williams Pearly White.  The hardware was in terrible shape.  I tried to polish up the brass, but some pieces were beyond help.  Enter the hot pink spray paint for a hit of color.  Doing the hardware was not enough, so I thought I needed an additional detail on the drawer fronts to tie it all together.  I was tossing around several design details in my head when I saw this detail on a chest in the latest House Beautiful magazine.

I knew that this was the shape I wanted.  I created a template and taped it off and used my hot pink spray paint once again.  I LOVE the way it turned out.  An easy update to a boring old chest.

Lately, I have been finding some fun alternatives to the standard gliders/rockers that you find in many of kids’ retail stores and catalogs.  What I love about these it that they can all transition out of the nursery into other rooms of the house. Are you planning a View More

Happy Valentine’s Day!!  I hope you are spending some time with the ones you love.  I am hoping to get some extra hugs and kisses today from my two little ones, and maybe a bit of extra attention from my sweetheart!!  I cannot say that this is my favorite of all holidays, but I do love fresh flowers of any kind and my husband never disappoints. 

For this Valentine’s Day post, I decided to create a nursery board.  Rather than fill it with pink and red and hearts galore, I put a different take on it.  Who doesn’t want to be struck by cupid’s arrow?!?!  Arrows are all over home decor right now, and I think, are a great graphic pattern to add into a baby’s room.  This is how I would do it.  A large scale for the rug paired with more a more simple arrow shape on the bedding.  A few pops of red, a gallery wall, and you have a lovely nursery inspired by this day of hearts.

Last week, I mentioned I made a trip to New York and while there, I had the chance to visit with one of my very best friends in Brooklyn. She did such an amazing job putting her THIRD nursery together!  The baby’s gender was a surprise, and I loved the neutral backdrop of furnishings with pops of color throughout with the wall hanging, toys, and mobile.  I was so impressed with this sweet room, I had to take a few pictures to share!

One of my favorite items in the room is the wall hanging she used above the crib.  It is so unique and unexpected for a child’s room.  I searched for wall decor with a similar feel that would be fun for a baby’s room.  Here are a few that I found.

Which is your favorite?
