Inspired by Turquoise......

Love it.

Little girl

to

big girl...

so many

sweet

ideas.

 

Have you ever

thought about doing

your own

 headboard like this?

Try it.

plywood, foam or whatever stuffing, however big & puffy....

big buttons, fabric, fishing line/heavy duty thread.

It doesn't have to

be

 just like this ~

but

it is an idea.

This chandelier

 is

 a bit pricey from

Maison Luxe,

However,

 I Love it.

 If you can afford it Great!

How about for your child's room?

Definitely a Show piece.

You

 need a large room.

Turquoise

 is a fabulous color

 for

 nursery, teens & even parents.

How about trying to create one

yourself.

On a smaller scale

&

with turquoise stones from the craft shops or online

(Etsy?)

You get the idea....

Make

 one similar

or

completely diff.

 but use stones/beads

whatever....

........................            African turquoise * turquoise round * Oval *round

 &

so many more from there....

get creative!

.I Love

all white & old iron.

Pale aqua or blue

little pillows

 would be

sweet.

or

soft silk ribbons

 &

a few bouquets

 tucked around would be

 precious.

.Adding color with fun

artwork

from your local artists

is

wonderful.

Or

 find new artists

on

Etsy

as I did with Kat Hannah.

 Etsy ART

You can have a beautiful room

 &

 maybe all white.

Adding some unexpected

 art

like this

completes the look

&

makes it more welcoming

&

not so fussy.

*maybe these two are not what you want for little ones,

I happen to like the colors.

but you get the idea.

It is fun to find

new

art.

Do not think

 you

 have to have the artwork

 in those stores

for

baby & child

that might "match" your bedding,

 get

 creative.

*Be original in your designs/style.

AND

 If you do use

ARTWORK

 in those stores.

be sure to use OTHER things

 to

 add YOUR individual style

 to your room.

 Stand out

&

 be unique & charming.

Those

boutique pieces

 you find in a million stores

 are to be used

 WITH

other items to blend in and work together

but

 not alone

SAME SAME SETS alone.

You know...

Work with it all.

FIND your unique style

with

Your pieces.

Those "store bought" things

 are

to help

 you.

Get Creative.

This is one of my favorite rooms and the picture that started my

 "Aqua themed"

color style

post.I Love those bolster pillows!

 (the color & fabric!!!)

 the chairs on the end are

 darling.

Notice the plates on the wall.

*Add a fluffy teddy bear or bunny with your own silk ribbons and bouquets to add little girl charm & place on the beds.

Trust me,

rooms can look

beautiful & classy

yet

still be

sweet

for

baby & little girls.

(baskets, painted pails or creative toy boxes filled with toys & lots of books)

I have about 20 large bins to be painted

into some charming

little

pieces

to store  toys & books

etc...

&

a pretty little

place

for little ones to

put their own little mess away.

(design ideas anyone? colors?

DREAM away)

One of my favorites.

I LOVE this little jacket.

These outfits are adorable.

Precious.

Wallpaper is another great idea.

 If you can't "wallpaper"

you

can use it other ways.

Paper inside a cupboard.

Leave doors open

or

replace with glass.

Frame wallpaper.

Large frames, or several hung on wall.

How about as a backdrop over a large piece plywood & frame with moldings.

(great when you can't paint or wallpaper if you rent)

Wallpaper one wall with expensive wallpaper.

 Or

 paper a narrow divider wall.

(Or use expensive wallpaper

on only the bottom helf of the wall 

&

 add a decorative chair rail

or a neat & fun molding

you

created.

Get creative!)

Get creative with your choices out there.

Love this chest

from

Graham and Green.

I Love that store.

 So many fabulous pieces.

Wonderful displays of inspiration too.

LOVE IT!!!!

This room is sooo Vogue.

(notice the touches of red,

 I myself would still want an old antique brass/gold & crystal chandelier,

but

the Punch of color is great.

again,

those turquoise stones

&

MAKE

your own chandelier/light fixture)

I Love it but so much more my teen daughters style.

I Love those Bolster pillow's once again.

Get creative with paint.

Headboards.

GET Creative!

These Old French doors are amazing.

Used

as

 headboard.

(Ditton Hill)

Find your own creative

&

original

headboard...

ARTWORK

Did you ever think about using pictures

 for

your teens rooms

 from

magazines like

Vogue?

Cheap black frames, with mattes or without.

Or

in ornate Gold frames

or

whatever

you

like.

Just more ideas....

get creative.

Love these looks @ Domino Magazine.

 Decorative touches add so much to a room.

(Decoupaged Bird & Branch chandelier from Anthropology)

(sorry,forget where I found this. Please let me know if you do,

hate to leave this one out, so simple,clean & fresh)

 

.Art & Ghost (always Unique artwork with Fabulous Colors)

 The Bella Cottage

You

 can always find something fabulous

to

decorate

with

One of

my most favorite

 Boutiques

tons of

French designs.
