Mandy Ford’s “This Girl’s Life” just got a bit more complicated for the better on May 30th, 2008, with the arrival of twin boys Ben and Landon. 

Kudos to Mandy’s on her choice of dark paint for the nursery: ”Tree Branch” by Sherwin Williams. Mandy says she was going for ”a subtle nature theme with owl accessories…the main colors being, sage green and chocolate brown, with aqua blue accents”.

We have to admit that the crib bedding found at Walmart has impressed us lately. We knew they are affordable, but had no idea that they offered such a modern, good-looking selection.

It’s all in the details, otherwise known as great accessories! The owl theme makes a sweet statement with an owl lamp from Urban Outfitters, owl bank from Target and cool owl rub ons for their wooden letters. Splashes of color brightens the room with a green clock from Restoration Hardware and aqua suitcases from Hobby Lobby.

Cherished family details include a little green rocker that was Mandy’s Dad’s when he was a boy, an antique corner cabinet passed down from Mandy’s parents and curtains made by Mandy’s mother-in-law which are to include brown ric-rac on the bottom, eventually. You know, when Mandy has a free moment!

All the best to the Ford Family! Enjoy your boys and their new room. - PN

Expecting parents Dennis and Denyse of new online kid clothing boutique Acme Factory are seriously cool and on the ball! They have designed and completed a nursery filled with vibrant confections for their daughter Hannah who is due in September. Their inspiration came from two great kids collections, Small Paul and Dotilicious.

Dennis says,  ”My wife and I dig Paul Frank’s designs. I painted the room with large dots to compliment the stickers shape and colors… It all came together nicely and created a simple, modern room for our daughter Hannah.” 

Dennis and Denyse loved the style of nursery pieces from Nurseryworks and they found a similar look from believe it or not WalMart! The crisp bright white of the crib and changing table were just the feel they were going for. Both pieces had clean lines and popped nicely with the bright lime color of the walls. The money they saved on the furniture they plan on investing in quality pieces for Hannah down the road once she moves up to toddler digs. The bedding is also from WalMart and matched their color palate perfectly. A modern white ceiling fan by Minka-Aire was selected and the closet was decked out with the Elfa system from the Container Store. White shelves from Pottery Barn, lamp from CB2 and pink side table from Ikea complete the nursery. And of course those precious stickers from Small Paul and Dotilicious add the finishing touches. Hannah is a lucky little lady. Surely she will brighten her parents lives and enjoy many smiles and giggles in this cheerful, modern nursery. Thanks for Sharing! We love it..
