I am not frilly.\u00a0 Nor am I lacy.\u00a0 And as much as I like kittens and puppies, I refuse to decorate with them.\u00a0 This, in combination with having a baby (toddler) girl becomes a problem.<\/p>\n
Throughout our house, Dan and I have chosen decor based on simplicity, clean lines and neutrals with pops of colour.\u00a0 \u00a0And thankfully, our new house was VERY tastefully painted before we moved in…well, the main living areas were anyway.<\/p>\n
Exceptions:\u00a0<\/p>\n
And that brings us to the point of the post.\u00a0 Since we moved in I have been trying so hard to come up with an idea for how to decorate Jaia’s room.\u00a0 Her nursery was cute, but a little boring, and I wanted to do something really fun this time around.\u00a0 You are only a kid once, right?<\/p>\n
The first piece of the puzzle was the bedding.\u00a0 I searched and searched but nothing I found was quite right.\u00a0 I even contemplated making my own but quickly remembered that I don’t know how to sew.\u00a0 And then a random search one day brought me to a website where the perfect bedding was ON SALE!\u00a0 I bought it immediately and couldn’t be more pleased with it.<\/p>\n
And now, with colour palette decided on thanks to the bedding, we were one step closer to coming up with an idea for the wall colour\/style.<\/p>\n
But nothing came to mind.\u00a0 Nothing that I was 100% sure of, anyway.\u00a0 And here we are, 6 months into living\u00a0in our new house and the walls are still blue.\u00a0 And they remain,\u00a0but for one,\u00a0completely blank.\u00a0 It seems very ‘unfinished’.\u00a0 And it turns out that I’m VERY non-commital when it comes to paint colours and wall hangings.<\/p>\n
And then yesterday, I found it.\u00a0\u00a0I was scouring websites to find something, anything, that might inspire me.\u00a0 And finally, months\u00a0into my search, there it was.\u00a0 An idea.\u00a0 A real idea.\u00a0 I can’t wait.\u00a0 We are starting this weekend and hopefully, in just a few days, we’ll be done.\u00a0 And Jaia will finally have her perfect (or make that my perfect) room.<\/p>\n
