Inspiration from a Brush Stroke

Maybe it's because spring is in the air, but we've noticed a beautiful trend that we'd like to share. It seems that everywhere we look, watercolor patterns and colors are blooming. We first spotted the trend in a gorgeous scarf featured in one of our favorite style guides, the Zoe Report. Since then, it seems that we're not the only ones dreaming of beautiful ways to incorporate watercolors into our homes. Here are some of our favorite picks for nursery and child spaces. Can you imagine this gorgeous mixed-media wall mural hanging on the wall of your child's room? This stunning wallpaper from Black Crow Studios is so breathtaking—have you ever seen anything more beautiful? This beautiful (and surprisingly durable) fabric would look fabulous on a glider. This oh-so-feminine throw pillow is so whimsical and would liven up a neutral glider or bedding set. So, if you're anything like us, you're looking for ways to enjoy some beautiful watercolor inspirations of your own. Be sure to upload your photos to the Project Nursery gallery today!

How to Pick a Paint Color

Picking the paint color for your nursery is as important as everything you put in it! It either adds a pop of color or creates a backdrop for your design masterpiece. Whether it's the softest shade of pink or the brightest shade of white, you never realize how many variations there are of one color until you are standing in front of the color bar at your local paint shop. All of a sudden, greys can look green, and brown's can look pink—for the untrained eye, it can be very overwhelming! We get asked all the time for color recommendations on paint to match our different bedding sets, so I thought I'd share with all of our lovely Project Nursery readers my top picks on the most popular paint colors for the nursery. These colors from Sherwin Williams are my tried-and-true, favorite picks—what you see is what you get! (But remember, colors read differently on computer monitors—so still take the time to see the color card in person!) If you are having trouble visualizing the color on your walls, Sherwin Williams has the coolest interactive program on their website, where you can easily upload a picture of your room and drop in different color options to see what they might look like! Just for fun, try some crazy color combos—you just might like what you see! TIP: Looking for a unique custom color? A lot of paint shops will digitize the perfect color match for you. Just bring in a fabric …

Belly Armor Wanted

I have a belly, it's just not pregnant right now (chuckle). But I also have this horrible habit of sitting on the couch with my laptop, watching my new favorite show Smash, and this isn't great for oh so many reasons. But I was pregnant not so long ago, and I used my baby bump as a human shelf for the most part. Looking back, I think about the everyday radiation from cannot-live-without gadgets like my laptop in my life then and now. The new Belly Armor blanket seems like a smart invention given all the recent data out there about cellphones, radiation, etc. Pam and I simply wanted to share it for your consideration along with the Belly Band and Belly Tee. What do you think?

Canopies Galore

Using a canopy in a nursery or child's room is a quick and easy way to create a dramatic look in the space. Rich fabrics surrounding a beautifully styled bed gives a more complete, polished and classic look. Besides loving the color scheme of this room, I love the bed crown with canopy. The vaulted ceilings and high windows give the space such a regal look. Using a sheer, airy canopy is a whimsical way to frame a crib. This room is a mix of shabby chic and sweet baby; the canopy is used perfectly to add height and interest while staying in the same monotone color palette. Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter's room uses a gorgeous canopy with bold colors to cover the entire bed, making it the focal point of the room. Although this canopy is simple, it still makes an important statement in the room. This one even looks like it could be an easy DIY with a simple piece of moulding and some fabric (not simple for me but for those of you who are a tad handy). Have a great canopy in your baby or child's room? Do share!
