Ribbons and Bows

bows1 Ribbons and BowsBy adding a ribbon and bow (with center flower), the picture becomes visually more important.

Coordinating quilt used as a table topper.

You can’t quite tell but a sconce has been added to either side of the bed. To hide the unsightly cords, coordinating fabric and ribbon have been tied around the cord. A great trick when a room has not been pre-wired.

When you put accessories on a table top, remember the rule of 3′s or 5′s. Here they used a photo frame, greenery, and a small glass clock.

Lime Room

limeroom1 Lime RoomWe love the bold use of color with the 3 electric patterned fabrics—lime green, black and turquoise.  Black shutters were attached to the standing mirror. Visually it gives a more dramatic impact to the corner.

A rod was attached over the bed—2 glass chimes were added—with a picture anchoring the middle.

A clever use of frames over the dresser in lieu in a mirror. These mirrors have no backing!!! It is the frame with glass only. Best of all the picture is wrapping paper. The art seems to float on the wall.

A small wooden sign—AWESOME—gives the window seat a punch.

Cat and the Hat Room

catinhat Cat and the Hat RoomThis nursery is bright and crisp in colors of red, white and black—only two focal walls are striped.

An artist painted the Cat which is truly the highlight of the room. If you can’t find an artist consider our Cat in the Hat art. On the opposite side of the room this art is used.
The great thing about this theme—it will grow with your child from nursery to 2nd grade—and that’s what you want, longevity.

Blue Room

blueroom Blue RoomAn inexpensive way to give a canopy look without the heavy feel of a canopy bed. Often a child’s room is too small to carry off a large canopy bed—but your kids love the look. The solution: rods are afixed to the ceiling and to both sides of the walls. Sheer white fabric is draped through the rods and puddled on the floor.

Paint your walls and use white as the unifying color. Your room will pull together quickly.

Fabric Squares

blueroom2 Fabric SquaresQuick trick using fabric. Here different cotton print fabrics are overlayed on a square piece of wood covered in a thin layer of batting. Pull the fabric tightly and staple. Contrasting ribbon is criss crossed and a button has been attached.

This great piece of wall art does not match the bed covering but picks up the pastel colors of the bedding. Three small pillows, however, were made that carry those colors over to the bed.
