Kids Room Revealed

When I first found out I was pregnant with my son Landon, I decided to go neutral when it came to bedding, because we knew that most likely our kids would be sharing a room. I originally went with black and cream french toile, then I accented with blue. My original plan was: add pink when I find out I'm having a little girl...so originally thats what I did! I went to DI, and I also found old frames lying around the house....I just painted some pink and blue picture frames. I liked it at first...but then I thought it was kind of girly considering Landon. So....I changed it....again...I was inspired by some vintage flash cards that I bought at Thanksgiving point a few years ago.

I was also inspired by the vintage toys that target now carries....that's what's on the shelves in the pic above...Paul and I made those shelves by the way....only $8 each!

We decided to go with a bunk bed for Landon's bed...he of course is on the bottom...I lucked out and was able to get the same bedding that we bought for the crib when Landon was a baby.

I bought these vintage flash cards off of etsy and hung them with jute and clothespins....I took apart the clothespins and painted them....Love it!

This is above the closet

We needed a little extra storage, so I bought these metal paint buckets at Lowe's...they work great and have that vintage look I was going for!

Vinyl Wall Decor, Inspired by Target Bedding

Last week my friend Becca bought this bedding at Target....

Super cute right??After Seeing the bedding, we were inspired to do some wall vinyl. Here is what we came up with! A big modern tree, with an owl and birdies, and acorns.

These are name plaques that I had made for a baby gift. They are 12x12.

A little family of birdies on the wall.

Birdies going along the crib....

This is below the big modern tree....acorns falling off of the tree, with a birdie going to get some.

Another view of the tree...

Close up of the tree...

A little birdie on top of the light switch...

The wall was kind of bare behind the dresser, so we came up with this...

I then surprised the 2nd time mommy with this at the hospital...

a magnet and wipe off board...I still need to make magnets for it... I also surprised her with the owl throw pillow to match her new bedding.

We are so excited with how it all turned out!!!
