Its Wednesday and we’d like to introduce – Wee Art.
A beautiful piece of art goes a long way in decorating a space – pulls it together, adds a pop of color, creates visual interest and most importantly is one of the best ways to reflect your personality and that of your space. So every wednesday we pick a favorite piece of art! I’m having a hard time picking one:)
Todays pick – Girl in the yellow suit by Lisa Golightly. I love the simple look, the softness and elegance of this portrait. I also love that its not too kiddie and can find a spot even beyond your little girls nursery or bedroom. And it has a pop of yellow, which makes me happy:)
Get it here.

Just got back after a week at the beach and nothings more inspiring than seeing white sand, blue waters and open skies.
Not everyone wants a nautical themed or a coastal beach inspired space…..but how about a little blue & white or some fun accents that can bring in some of that laid-back feel! Here are my 5 favorite fun and versatile picks that do just that!

The boy is now 2.5 and the nursery with a rocker and crib doesn’t seem to be cutting it anymore. So its time for a new space for the little guy! Yay! My favorite color is yellow and until he can make up his mind, I think he loves yellow too! And tigers! And the moon and stars!
So here’s the inspiration/design board for an updated toddler space with all of the boy’s favorite things and some of mine:)
One of the key things here was how to repurpose as much existing furniture as possible and add fresh accents primarily by way of accessories. And I must say the only single piece of furniture I got new here is the Ikea Sundvik toddler bed that converts into a twin. We plan to use it in the extended twin bed version, set up against the wall and designed as a daybed with lots of pillows so it can be a good spot for reading and good night cuddles before he gets into his converted toddler bed. (Oh and while we are on the topic of toddler bed conversion….I must say that finally after what seemed like a very long week….he will stay in his bed for most parts!)
So why didn’t we get a daybed you may ask? I figured in the long term if he wanted to shift into the twin bed he could or we could also resize it to a toddler bed if need be once we need the crib for baby #2.
Other than that the dresser, crib/toddler bed, most of the lighting and storage are repurposed. Its necessary to have furniture that can grow with your child and accommodate to their changing needs. I also believe that while picking key accessories like rugs, curtains etc its great to keep in mind how these designs can transition to another space if need be. Here I’ve picked a rug and curtains that can work in a variety of spaces.
When it comes to art, smaller accessories and bedding, I think its a great and affordable way to bring in some fun into the space while staying within a budget.
