You all know I love a good thrift shopping trip. Many times I pick up items that I just can’t stand to leave behind. Most times it’s a piece of furniture that I have to safe, but another favorite is fabric. I always check out window treatments and tablecloths. There are so many pretty retro/vintage one out there and you can always give them a new life as a pillow or frame it as a piece of artwork. Case in point during one of my last thrifting trips I found this adorable colorful animal filled window panel that looked perfect for a nursery. So, I grabbed with no need for it myself or for a client. I started building what I would do with it in a nursery and here is my plan.
No. 1 I would use the animal window panel and stretch it on canvas to make it artwork instead. It would be the focal point for the room and would look adorable above the crib.
No. 2 I love the retro vibe of vintage window panel. I wanted to have another vintage inspired item in the space and new right away would it would be. How amazing is this chandelier by Sazerac Stitches.
No. 4 I tend to just go with clean lines when it comes to cribs. I really liked the square base on this one.
No. 5 You can never go wrong with a stripe in my opinion. I think I manage to squeeze one to every room I design. Love the width of the stripes on this rug.
No. 6 Another nod to the retro feel in this space is done with the rocker. I really loved the mix of wood and upholstery and loved the lines of the rocker. Top it off with a colorful ikat pillow. I have never seen one with such bold colors.
No. 7 My last touch in the space would additional artwork for the space. I love the animal bust trend in nurseries and when I found these felts ones with whimsical color accents I was sold. I like doing art groupings in odd numbers so, I would do 3 and get an elephant, zebra and Tiger.
Now I just need someone to have a baby so, I can use my thrifted find and put this plan to action!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
