Show us where you live Friday!




This Fridays home tour is on nursery and children rooms, MY FAVORITE. I strive to one day work for Pottery Barn and set up the rooms before the photo shoots, wouldn't that be a great job!
If you want to see tons of rooms be sure you check out Kelly's Korner.

This is Taylynn's room as a nursery. The crib was passed down from family. Her changing table was mine when I was a baby and before that it was a home economics table for a high school. The bedding is from Land of Nod. The Cinderella book was once my moms. Oh I did get the chandelier at Target for like 40 dollars.
I also made her mobile from crystal garland that was used in our wedding. They turned out so well, I still have them in her room for decoration.
This is her room now at 2 and a half. I have grown in my interior decorating skills, can you tell?
The pillows were my inspiration. They are from Pottery Barn, part of the Brooke collection. I bought the quilt from TJ Maxx for $19.99. I painted the tree on the wall. Bought a bird cage and hung it up. I love her room.


Here is Preston room. I love green and it is in almost every room of our house, so I had to use it here. I painted the stripes and it took forever, but so worth it. The wooded giraffe coat hanger was made by my Paw-Paw when I was a child. It means so much to have it in my sons room.


I did a lot my self in this room. I painted coat hangers and made his monkey picture about the giraffe. Also along with the stripes I painted the letters on the wall and all the circles in his closet, Let's just say his room will look like that for a while



Thanks for stopping by. If you like the letters check out my Etsy store.

  6. Your rooms are great! I love the green and brown room- those were my wedding colors so I am especially partial. I agree that the stripes and polka dots add that extra special touch.

  9. I love the letters! I'm currently in the process of moving but will be back to order my girls names! I admit that I'm a horrible decorator. I live in a gorgeous home with very little on the walls. You have inspired me to do more with my home. Thanks for sharing and I'll be taking some photos of my the girl's rooms and comforters and e-mailing you soon!
    I found your blog through Kelly's Korner and have been hooked ever since.

  12. I forgot to reply to you about the diaper. Yes, I've washed a few diapers when my children were much younger. I could not figure out what all that gel like stuff was until I found the diaper. LOL

  36. I love both of the rooms. I really love Preston's room, the paint design is so great and I am sure was very hard. I never thought to just do one color for the bedding, but it looks so clean and calm.
