designing baby boy's room


Tuesday, July 10, 2012

With Jared being gone, that has left a TON of free time on my hands for nesting to swing in to full gear. "Designing," if I can qualify the cheap things I whip together as design, is always such a great creative outlet for me. It is also a source of stress and laborious contemplation. Since I am cheap, I do not like to spend a ton of money on decorating a corner {we have a 2 bedroom and baby boy will spend the first 5 months in the nook of our bedroom}, but I also appreciate a sense of personal style and allurement.

So here's my inspiration board for baby boy. I am loving the geometric scheme of things! Leave the Chevron at the door, peeps, triangles are so in! And I never thought I would want an animal skin rug at the foot of a crib, but I'm kinda digging the woodland creature thing going on up there. I am convinced that my son's favorite movie will be "Fantastic Mr Fox."

Striped bed sheets, knit mint and oatmeal shaded blankets, paper plane mobile - my mind is coming to peace with all of this. Now to get crackin on making this design board a reality!

  3. I just found your blog, it's lovely! Love the fox theme, you'll have to read "Fantastic Mr. Fox" by Roald Dahl to your little one when he's old enough. Great book!

    my goal hopefully before the end of the summer is to attempt to crochet woodland animals, if I can get the fox down right then I will make one for your little guy :-)
