Baby Rose's room, or at least that's what we'll call her for now since her name is undecided at the moment :) We'll meet her any day now though! My friend Laura, gave me the honor to design her baby's room - she picked the bedding and left the rest up to me.
I envisioned the room filled with loads of pink with hints of natural colors, browns, greens and sky blues. I wanted to stay budget conscious at around $200 for the entire room. Paint, decor, drapes, storage pieces, lighting etc.
Over 1 month I spent time searching for inspiration on the web, paroozing Goodwill for that perfect half off piece, flipping through CL posts and couponing for JoAnn's fabric. With help from the blog, Sewing for Scarlett, I was able to easily apply the custom fabric branch and owl decal that I had designed.
These are the result...
 |
| Personalized artwork & frames for family portraits |
 |
| Custom fabric wall decal to match hand-made owl pillow |
 |
| Closet organizer, drapery, hardware & flower light |
 |
| Cubby shelf, decor & bird lamp |
| Pottery Barn rug & custom drapery |
With help from my sister and a friend we were able to pull the room together one afternoon while Laura was at work and give her a great surprise when she got home.
Overall this project was a learning experience - I was able to demonstrate the same principles of graphic design that I use everyday and apply them to a livable space.
