What was your inspiration for the room?
Scarlet is girly without being frilly, so when we moved into this house a few months ago I took the opportunity to create a room that matched her personality!

What best describes your decorating style?
Modern, laid back, functional and a little bohemian.

Please share with us your choice of paint colors, furniture, art, diy tips, etc.
-The crib and changing table are from WalMart – they’re inexpensive, yet modern and of good quality.
-The bookshelf is the oeuf mini-library and the bins I picked up on sale at Michael’s
-I made the pennant and pom-pom curtains, an easy and cheap DIY.
-I even made the cornices using this amazing cornice kit I found here.
-I also made the crib sheet, a simple DIY.

– The zebra rug was from target.
– And Rody the adorable inflatable horse is from Plastica Shop.

What is your favorite item(s) in the room?
My favorite thing about the room is the way it smells like her when i walk in. But I’m proud of the homemade curtains and their dramatic height, and I also really appreciate the black out cellular blinds that are underneath. Since I ordered those naptime has been a breeze. I also love the easel because she has so much fun scribbling on it, and I think the moroccan poof is adorable even though she uses it more as a drum.

Is there anything else you would like PN readers to know?
I’m the author of the blog and upcoming book Prudent Advice For My Daughter and I’d love to hear their thoughts an inspirations!
