This room was once our spare bedroom that had beige carpet and beige walls. After trying for baby #1 since August of 2010, we found out we were finally pregnant this year near the end of February. I was so excited that I immediately put all our spare bedroom furniture up for sale on Craigslist. After clearing out the room, we took the money from the furniture and spent it on new baby furniture :)
We put together this gender-neutral nursery before our son was born. He was a delivery room surprise and we plan to use this room as a nursery for future children – so we wanted a neutral palette. We gutted everything in the room except the flooring. Our home was a foreclosure – so each room needs a lot of work! It was so much fun to DIY this space for our little one.
An Elmo Inspired 2nd Birthday Party for my daughter, Camryn.
My daughter turned 3, and we upgraded her nursery to a “big girl” toddler room. I wanted something that would grow with her, but yet still be fun, colorful & playful for a young child.
Although there are a few golf themed parties out there, I was really inspired to make my little boy’s birthday a fab “par-tee” with lots of candy and lots of fun! Happy 3rd Birthday my sweet little boy!
A contemporary nursery for a baby girl
A black/white/pink nursery with a touch of polka dots and primary colors.
My dear friend from high school is finally expecting her baby girl. I had the pleasure of working with our mutual fabulous friend Billye on the event.
Cute silhouette nursery I painted in Atlanta, Ga. This nursery will also transition into a toddler room very easily. I wanted to keep the mood light and carefree. The black silhouettes add a bouyant quality to the room that really has a charming effect. We loved it and hope you all will too! My painted tree is available as a decal at my website www.anitaroll.com. Or at www.etsy.com/shop/AnitaRoll.
My daughter Chloe’s modern vintage nursery
Modern, whimsical nursery for a bouncing baby boy.
A girl’s nursery to grow.
We celebrated Mila’s 1st Birthday at a local Gymboree Play and Music. She loves butterflies and we did a butterfly theme for her party. I did most of the shopping through Etsy, from her costume, decorations to cookies. We selected fuschia, orange and lime green as the theme colors, very cheerful. We hang the fuschia with white polka dots fabric as a backdrop for the dessert table. We also hang a butterfly chandelier from PB Kids as the focal point. Everyone loves the chandelier.
We celebrated Preston’s First Birthday in “P”erfection. Inspired by Michael Miller’s “Lolli Dot” fabric, I got to work! There were Polka dots, Pom Poms, Popcorn, Pretzels, Party Mix, Pop, Peanuts, Pizza, Rice Krispie Popcicles and Punch. I also had a small candy station set up with bright colored candy to match the color scheme of red, yellow, orange, lime, turquoise and navy. There was a smaller snack station in the living room-everything served in Pails! His friends took home small pails. Each pail had a personalied letter ornament for their name (purchased at Land of Nod for $1), Puzzle shaped soap, Playdough, freeze Pop cozies, a crayon roll, a Pocket game, Pop Rocks, and a Ring Pop. For the only other baby, I substituted the crayon roll and pocket game with a small lovey toy purchased on Etsy. It was also from the same seller and done in the “Lolli Dot” fabric. They also got a coordinating bottle of bubbles and a Pinwheel! Many of the favors were purchased on Etsy, or the Dollar Tree, and some of them were also done in “Lolli Dot” fabric. All of the napkins, plates and cups were in red and purchased at the Dollar Tree. I ordered a yard of the fabric, from an Etsy seller, for layering on the table, but the orange plastic table cloth was from Walmart! Most of the paper items were purchsed at Bushel & Peck Paper on Etsy, but I did make the food labels in Microsoft Paint, and I made the cupcake toppers with my Cricut! Preston wore a navy shirt, from Etsy, done in the “Lolli Dot” fabric. He also had a matching birthday hat and bib-also Etsy purchases! I made the cupcakes myself-to save money-but the smash cake was purchased at Walmart for under $8!

My boy + girl twins’ gender-neutral nursery! I REFUSED to do anything yellow or green…so we went with polka dots and pops of color.
A fun circus themed nursery filled with color.
We are custom rug manufacturers and specialize in creating custom rugs for Baby & Kid’s Rooms. These are rugs we did to coordinate with the baby bedding.
We wanted to create a nursery that was cheery, bright, and girly, without looking babyish. We found the bedding first (Land of Nod) and created everything around the bedding, focusing on various shades of pink and bright green. We used a few of my husband’s favorite records from his childhood on one wall and polka dot decals on the other wall. The finishing touches were the polka dot curtains from Pottery Barn Kids, a Mod Rocker, a flower tissue paper mobile from Etsy (PomLove), and a pink ceiling lamp from Ikea.
