Raspberry & Linen for Layla

Description

I had the honor of designing my new grand daughter's room... Layla's nursery is full of items that were repurposed, reused, sewn, painted and crafted especially for her. Cheerful, sunny and full of vibrant color; it is a room that will "grow" with her.

Design Inspiration

"Raspberry" pink was the main color my daughter wanted to use for Layla. We searched for a monochromatic wide "tent" stripe and came up with the "Mia" bedskirt from Pinecone Hill. We ordered a full/queen size and re-purposed it into a crib skirt and large pillows for the daybed... and that's where the inspiration came from and the fun began!

Decorating Style

Casual, comfortable, with vintage pieces ...I believe your home should reflect who you are and who you love!

Favorite Items

I have several favorites:

I love the faux finish we did on the chalkboard wall... we taped it off and painted "shadows" to look like a "board and batten" wall as well as a "framed" chalkboard.
The Chalk art - the scripture they chose for Layla
The colors! Raspberry, citrine green, orange
All the handmade items: the play tent, the ragdoll, all the pillows, etc... made with love! <3

Advice

As always, my advice would be to come up with a plan - put it together visually with photos saved in a word document, on pinterest, etc. - if it looks good on "paper", most likely you will like the end results!
