Bright Colorful Boy's Room

This room was designed for a five year old boy who loves Dr Seuss books. His parents didn't want a 'themed' room that he would quickly grow out of, but still wanted something colourful and fun for his age, that could be updated easily later. I was asked to keep the wall colour and timber blinds, and had to work with a budget of about (Australia Dollars) $200 for the accessories. I designed the bed which features a bookshelf, cubby house (under the bed), blackboard and a ladder to climb up. Whenever you visit you regularly find all the visiting kids squeezed inside the cubby playing games!  Dr. Seuss influenced boys room designed by Anna of My Design Ethos.

Cubbies painted in bright colors and filled with books and toys is perfect for under the bed storage.

The bed has a cubby underneath it which is accessed through a secret door.  The panel next to the blackboard has a small lever near the mattress which you pull to make the door open.



I love the creativity and practicality of this cubby hole bed, the secret door and play area under the bed!! Great job Anna!

Grey & Yellow Modern Nursery

Using grey paint on the walls as the foundation creates a neutral backdrop for the yellow and black accents that help make the room pop. The grey and yellow combo color has a clean, simple modern feel and is perfect for a gender neutral room.  Wall Paint: Benjamin Moore Silvery Moon. My favorites in the room:

• yellow pouf 


• zebra rug


• yellow dresser


• cream colored with black piping rocker


• and the abacus above the dresser

Room designed by Dina of Honey & Fitz (for her little boy Knox) with help from friend Nicole Lanteri of On My Agenda.

Dresser paint: Benjamin Moore Bold Yellow. 

Small Spaces...Great Places!

 A small yet stylish room for a sophisticated kid or teen. Great placement of bed and storage built-ins. The rooms walls are mainly white with one wall a bright vibrant green. A pop of color was painted on the ceiling of the built-in cubby bed. There is also another bed to the top left of the ladder (where the railings are). Room designed by Philpotts Interiors.

Baby Nursery: The Littlest Birds Sing The Prettiest Songs

I'm totally in love with the song title "The Littlest Birds Sing The Prettiest Songs."  Doesn't that best describe a sweet baby? Chelsea Hooper came up with some really darling ideas for her little girls baby nursery. The wall paint color is Behr Ultra Balmy Seas. 

 Chelsea describes the room, " I chose the paint color first, then the fabrics and then just sort of let loose with the projects! The guitar is an old guitar that my husband sanded down and painted. We then attached the fabric strings and covered the pick guard with fabric. It was a rather simple project that turned out exactly as we wanted. The letters on the wall are cardboard letters purchased at a craft store. We just simply wrapped the fabric around the letters like a mummy. The rings on the wall are just embroidery hoops with fabric in them. That was probably the easiest project of them all. I think it is such a great way to tie in all of your colors and fabrics and also take up a wall. The two framed bird fabric pictures were very simple projects. We took poster board and cut out the shape of the birds and put some batting behind the fabric and put the frame together! It was so easy and so cheap and such a great way to display the birds and showcase fabric! The pillows, window valance and bed skirt are all made out of our fabrics as well. But probably my most favorite project displayed in the room is the branch of birds with the song lyric. I found this idea and the sewing pattern and couldn't WAIT to do it in my nursery. I am so happy with how our nursery turned out. It all came together piece by piece to make a very welcoming and serene area for our daughter."

Chelsea sewed these fabric birds using the pattern below.
