BABY, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE WORK OF ART!

Is there any more precious gift in the world than that of a baby? From there precious bodies to their adorable clothes and home furnishings that go along with them, babies are the single most adored gift to this world. For that reason, I dedicate today’s post to decorating the nursery and all the creative ideas for adding color, cute accessories that embody the beautiful creations we call babies.

 

Decorating the walls

The walls of a nursery are the perfect place to house keepsake memories such as shadow boxes of adorable clothing, or baby’s first shoes and memorabilia. Wall art in the form of painted murals, adhesive stickers and decorative shelving can take on themed nurseries that can change your child’s room into a wonderland.

 

Furniture makes the nursery

Let’s face it, the furniture in your baby’s nursery is what gives the room a personality and what easily defines the interior style of the room. From the crib and changing table to the seating, lamps and accessories around the room, the furniture you choose is important. Decide if you will choose furniture that evolves with your child or if you will get new furniture throughout their stages of childhood. Bring color and a theme from the walls into bedding, accent rugs, and throw pillows for the parent seating.

 

The nursery is one of the few rooms of your home that you can let your imagination run wild and enjoy the creativity to show off sweet dreams and beautiful decor. Use these images as inspiring ideas for your nursery and create lasting memories of your own. Every baby is unique and so should their nursery. Fill it with all of the love and wonderment that your baby will bring to this world!

Preparing your Home with Spring Garden Ideas

Spring is around the corner and the renewal of your springtime home isn’t far behind. Gardening is one of those spring activities that makes you feel great and makes your outdoor home look even better. Whether you are planning to add curb appeal to your front yard, beautify your patio, or plant some gorgeous flowers and shrubs, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about your gardening chores for the season. Here are a few tips to help you get your spring home ready for awakening of the spring season. 

 

Welcome guests with gardening decor

Whether you are throwing a spring brunch get together or you are trying to brighten your front entry, adding garden decor is the perfect way to add color and a welcome surprise. Consider using urns, decorative resin planters and bring color to your front entry with fresh spring foliage. Position rustic benches, lighting sconces and garden motifs throughout your courtyard and outdoor entry for an instant wow factor!

Entertain with nature at your doorstep

Spring is the best time to entertain and enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. From the moderate temperatures and changing foliage to the simple gardening decor ideas you can incorporate, your neighbors will love hanging out at your home. Depending on your lifestyle decide if you want formal or casual dining, lounging and mingling. This will help you decide if outdoor accessories like a fire pit, lanterns, fireplace or other garden decor will be needed. Use planters and foliage to decorate congregation areas and to cleverly disguise unattractive fences and neighbor’s yards.

 

Bring the outdoors in with smaller interior gardens

Carry the outdoor garden theme from your outdoor home into your foyer, atrium or interior garden. The beauty of gardening is that it can be at home in the warm sun, or you can utilize them inside to make your home come alive with greenery. I love how these homes have made an oasis inside of their home with the use of rocks, plants, water and lighting. There are many different ideas to choose from, and they all stem from a simple garden.

 

Now that spring is here there is no excuse not to go all out with springtime renewal and bringing nature into your outdoor and indoor home. Use these ideas to welcome guests from the curb to foyer of your home and into your backyard. Gardening accents throughout your home can be simple and will start off the spring season in the right direction for your refreshed springtime abode.
