Turkish-Barak Rug Inspired Girl's Room

When designing a child's room, most people start with the 'theme.' Winnie the Pooh? Disney's Cars? 

I'm not the biggest fan of this method. One, you're are limiting yourself to a specific style. 

Two, kids grow up. Are they going to be a big Batman fan in 5 years? Probably not.

I prefer to gain inspiration from an adult piece of decor and build a room that is youthful but not childish.

I have used wallpaper as inspiration for a nursery, a chandelier for a shared bedroom, and here, I'm using a
 TURKISH-BARAK RUG to INSPIRE A GIRL'S BEDROOM.

I don't know about you but I would be just as happy in this room at 20 as I would be at 8.

Pink: Corals to Honeysuckle

I a self-admitted girly-girl, but I typically don't lean towards the color pink.

 Too me, pink can easily be too sweet and too feminine.  Lately though, I have dreamed of bolder shades of 

PINK FROM CORAL TO HONEYSUCKLE.

 

 

 

 I'm trying to convince my mom and sis to make me this skirt in 

10 colors so I can wear only maxis, Ts and sandals this Summer.

No wonder Honeysuckle was the Color of the Year 2011.

 

What do you think of PINK?

Pink and Tiffany Blue Christmas

I stumbled across a single image of this 

PINK AND TIFFANY BLUE CHRISTMAS

on Pinterest and instantly feel head over heals.  

Call me crazy but I have a thing for non-Christmas Christmas decor and 

this home is one of the best examples I've seen!

Check out this eye candy:

Makes you want to buy some sheepskin throws and some candy colored confetti, no?

Kitchens Conundrum: Black vs. White

Along with gallery vs. shelf art displays, another design dilemma is deciding between black and white kitchens.  Now, I'm not to the point in my life where I'm having to design my own kitchen, and thank goodness! I would never be able to decided what I want more-- a stunning black glam kitchen...

...or a polished clean white kitchen...

Which look do you prefer?
