We have lived in our current house for 6 months; Papa Diva and his brother own it ,and its had been let out to tenant for the last few years, so it's a lovely place but all very magnolia and neutral.
We have no idea how long we will be here for, but while we are we want to make it a) more homely for us without spending a fortune and b) more sellable.
The first room to get a sort out will be the nursery. The girls share a room, and it's quite large space.
They still currently have cots, although Mia know nows she can get out of hers whenever she wants...so it may be time also to consider their very first grown up (ish) beds.
I have been pinning away on Pinterest some ideas for the nursery. I love colour, illustration, typography and books (well, I am a designer), and it would be great to make the Mini Diva's room full of colour, texture, shapes and cool stuff.
I really love looking at images for inspiration, although I really believe a nursery ( and home) should be lived in, enjoyed and fun. No pristine untouched order, please...
Here is the Pinterest board I have been working on, and some screen grabs from it below.
From what I have seen so far I am starting to formulate a bit of a wish list:
✿ Making a feature of the girl's artwork and images of them, framing some artwork and their paintings
✿ A wall decal, (sticker) possibly worked as part of a bookshelf, possibly designed by Papa Diva and I.
✿ Letters, and letterpress prints - I would love to make a feature of the alphabet, and possibly the girls names. We can easily cut these out of wood or MDF (Papa Diva designs playgrounds and knows the deal).
✿ Lovely fabrics and a mixture of prints for cushions, curtains and throws
✿ To make the room more of a playroom for the girls and somewhere they enjoy being to read, play and sleep.
Watch this space as we design and decorate it!
