Natalie's Room Inspiration Board



Picking out pretty things to create a room is really, really fun. And someday, maybe Natalie's room will look a little something like her inspiration board :)

For girls, I love white rooms with white beds, bedding, and window treatments. I think it looks, airy, crisp, and fresh. With a blank canvas, it's fun and easy to add vibrant pops of color with accessories and decorations.

I love the bright, cheerful fabric. I would use it to make colorful throw pillows, and a patchwork quilt - it would look great folded and place over the coverlet at the foot of the bed.

To keep the room from looking too grown up, Natalie has a collection of stuffed animals and dolls, and I plan on turning her apple green crib into a funky reading bench.

It's a room that I think can work for a little girl, but grow with her as well.

I love white bedding too. I have whites on all our beds in the house- even the kids. I was afraid I was being boring, but glad to hear someone else likes it too :)

I love how clean and fresh it looks.

Such pretty stylin!

yay for white bedding!! I don't think it's boring at all. I think it's a great way to use bold color and patterns (through accessories)without being too overpowering.
