Orange Bedding

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Making progress on Desi’s room! We have all of the curtains hung, also put some in front of the closet. Got him a dresser and shelf and they are put together. Still need lamps and painted walls. Trim would also be nice. Also liking this orange quilt and shams!

Well, not really new. But finally made it to the wall! Flower is from my yard. I need beds full of cutting flowers!

Desi’s Room Progress

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Today I put up the curtains in Desi’s room and rearranged furniture. I did frame his alphabet picture but haven’t decided where to hang it yet, so it didn’t make it into the picture. I love the curtains!

Still have: dresser, shelves, lighting, painting walls, painting his table and chair set, window seat and hanging curtains in that window.

Sophie’s Nursery

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

I never really did a nursery for Desi. We just collected things for him and then we blinked and he was in his own room ready for a big boy bed. So I gathered Sophie’s things into one area of our bedroom and here is the result:

What a fun stool for a kid room, or a mario fan!

Kid’s Table and Chair Set

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

We went to IKEA over the weekend to pick up a table and chairs set for Desi’s room. After seeing this transformation of the IKEA Latt Set on OhDeeDoh, we were going to get that one. But it looks a bit cheap in person. So we decided to spend a little more money and get him the Svala Table and four chairs. He loves them! I think we may paint them a glossy blue color when the weather improves. If you are looking for a kid’s set, this might be one to check out. The price is good and it is all wood.

Farmhouse Sinks - too trendy?

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

I love how these sinks look in kitchens. Are they are trend though? They seem to pop up on blog photos everywhere. I was wondering if they are going to be a trend that dates your house as late 2000s/2010s. They do create such a clean classic look.  photo via Desire to Inspire.

2010 Goal - Finish Putting Desi’s Room Together

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

It would be great to be able to finish decorating and putting together Desi’s bedroom next year.

Here are some things I think would look nice:

Dresser:

Open Shelf:

Orange Pendant Lamp:

A bookcase, curtain rods and framing and matting a print are also necessary and eventually a twin bed, desk, window bench seat, wall shelves and possibly a trundle would be nice. It would also be nice to rip out the carpet and have pretty hardwood floors, but for now, carpet is nice for little kids.
