AMARA'S SIMPLE WHITE TODDLER ROOM

I just recently did a wall of gold dot decals from urban decals. I am totally in love with all of their designs. The customer service is awesome as well! (my product plug for the day! ;) Moving on.... 

This is not the room we started with when my daughter was born. She was in a different room in our house, there was a lot of pink, a chevron wall, and it was right at the top of our staircase with two french doors. As Amara grew, I realized it wasn't the most practical room to have her in. So, I decided to start fresh in a new room with white paint (Glidden's parchment white color matched in Behr). It is the "perfect" white. I even have it as my dining room color. I love fresh white walls with pops of color.

Overall, I just wanted to create a simple, sleek space for her. It is one of my favorite rooms to be in!

^The kitchen was a DIY gift from our dear friends for Amara's first birthday! I fell in love with Vivi's kitchen from Lay Baby Lay , so that is what they mimicked! Amara loves it!!! ^

Gotta have a place for tea parties ;)

^ There is no really great shot of the curtains due to the lighting in this room, but they were my first real sewing project that I did on. my. own! I splurged on some of the most beautiful white linen fabric and some seafoam pom pom trim. I even lined them with a blackout liner. I followed this tutorial if you are ever interested in giving it a try. Take it from me...I can't even sew a straight line. You might surprise yourself! There is no way I could have afforded the curtains that my little beginner skills made me. ^

^ These wooden photos from Picture Bungalow are one of my favorite things in the room. I love these photos so much, and was so happy with the print quality! ^

^ I found a pedant shade at West Elm for $15 dollars. I knew I wanted something yellow against all of that white, and I scooped it right up. My husband installed it using a light kit and I simply wrapped the cord in fuschia pink yarn! ^

^ I ordered a pack of felt balls and strung them myself to create this garland. Easy Peasy, and half the price if you do it yourself. I don't remember who I got them from, but they are allllll over Etsy! ^

^ Amara's first piece of artwork she created at the top is my favorite! ^

^ I saw this idea on Pinterest and totally copied it! ;) I just cut some little plastic animals in half, spray painted them, hot glued them to card stock and voila! ^

^ I wanted something with Amara's birth details on it, and I found this cute little alphabet print (you can customize your colors) on Etsy! ^

^ Found this old french provencial looking dresser on Craigslist. I painted it gray and added my own handles. I lined the drawers with Snow & Graham wrapping paper from Rock Paper Scissors ^

^ Hooks for hanging and a toddler height mirror, which I found at Goodwill and spray painted! ^
