Description
Despite me being a quilter and my mother owning a fabric store, I couldn't for the life of me find anything I liked (or could afford). That was until I saw the "Little Kukla" line from Suzy Ultman. . . . **swoon** I am such a nerd, I actually wrote her a letter proclaiming my ultimate fan status to her work. She never responded. Hahahah.
Design Inspiration
The onion dome print that I used in the drapery panels was my launching point. I thought of cold winter days in Moscow, St. Basil's Cathedral, onion domes, and matryoshkas.
Decorating Style
Eclectic, inexpensive, quirky, whimsical

Don't underestimate what you can do yourself. :-)
What color wall paint did you use?
Thank you, Carol!
Thank you!
This is so great! I adore it! I love so many details you took care of and am loving the nesting doll pillow! I think i might need to make one for myself!!!!
Oh, sweet Felicity, she’s gorgeous! Her room is great.
Thanks! That was purchased at Lowes for $20-something.
Great nursery! Just curious, where did you get that floating shelf? Thanks so much!
Sure, they are from http://www.etsy.com/shop/MarmeeCraft
I want to know where the illustrations came from. ?
It’s a pretty awesome church! One day we will see it in person!
It’s from a company called DanDee and they also make a frog and a monkey.
where is that cute elephant stuffed animal from?
St. Basil’s Cathedral is really beautiful and it’s wonderful of you to choose it as a theme. Perfect for a colorful space!
Oh how wonderful! I saw some really cool fabric on spoonflower. . .kind of expensive but would be cute framed or on a pillow or something. Let me find it. . . http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/382063
I just love it! Our little girl is going to be a Felicity, too! Plus we are also doing a gray and orange nursery, fox themed.
I need to paint my ceiling! Oof! :-O
