Modern Sparrow Nursery

Hi All! 
Just thought we'd share our latest nursery for with you for a lucky little baby girl...
Our inspiration for this room was this beautiful sparrow paper, and after that, everything just fell into place.
Notice how the yellow in the rug pops off of the blue paper? Just because the yellow doesn't necessarily match the paper, it still works because they are opposite on the color wheel. It makes the space more interesting when everything isn't "matchy-matchy".
We found this adorable vintage dresser and had it painted coral to match the birds in the paper. The glider in the corner is in an adorable charcoal linen with white contrasting piping and buttons. The chair really brings in the dark color from the wallpaper over to this side of the room for balance.
How cute is that owl vase? We think it looks very Jonathan Adler. Fresh flowers tie the yellow back in to this side of the room.
Design is all about the "little details". We had a little extra wall paper, and lined
 the drawers with it. It was a little labor intensive, and a lot of sticky fingers due to the spray mount, but it was worth it!
Never underestimate an artistic display of books on ledge shelves.
What we love about these ledge shelves is that
A. The covers act as an art element in the room.
B. The kiddos can actually look at the covers and pick which ones they want to read.
C. You can just keep adding to the collection and the display just gets better and better!

We hope you have enjoyed this little tour!
Til next time!
XOXO

The Cutest Little Easter Basket

Easter is almost here!
I love everything about Easter...I love the reason, the food, the drinks, the family getting together in our Sunday's best...but mostly I love watching my kids search for the most Easter Eggs...
and then discovering their Easter Baskets outside our front door!

So... what would the cutest little Easter Basket hold?
Take a look at some of our favorite little goodies....
First Let's start with a cute Easter Basket...
If you are a mom of boys, like me, ...maybe this easy DIY basket would be right up your alley...

I love the simplicity of this bucket with foam stickers...A basket that can be used in the sandbox or for storage again and again!

I love this basket from Martha Stewart (who else?)
 This slipcovered basket is really sweet and heirloom worthy.

You can't go wrong with the classic wooden basket. Again, from Martha Stewart.
To make the "paper grass" the editors at Martha just took colorful paper and shred it through an office shredder....cute and environmentally friendly!

For Girls, This basket is so sweet!

I love the glued on bows and the variety of goodies in the basket. From home made treats to store bought items re-packaged in cellophane bags to make them extra special.


How about a Flowered Easter Basket? Trim your basket in silk flowers or dried leaves...

Use vintage berry cartons as cute baskets for young ones...

Instead of the traditional basket, how about a paper bag embellished with ribbon and cut paper accents.


Some personalized baskets from PB kids are adorable for any little Girl or Boy..

Need some cute Ideas on what to put in the baskets?
How about  some adorable Sheep Sugar Cookies from Just Crumbs on Etsy


Aren't these polka- dot bunnies adorable?
 Package them individually in a cellophane wraper with a cute tag.
Available on Etsy from Sugar and Flour

Bubbles are always a Hit! Especially when they are battery operated!

Sunglasses are a popular treat around our house at Easter...especially in Arizona!
PB Kids

You can't go wrong with the Beatrix Potter Books at PB Kids...A classic!

We hope that have found some inspiration here...
