Decorating for little ones

Recently we moved our three year old into his new room with a big boy bed! With help from Spoonflower I was able to hang custom wallpaper and buy a duvet and yardage of fabric with my designs to complete the bedding set. I purchased the rug from Ruggable and totally lucked out that the colors in this rug were an exact match to colors in my Moving Love Around collection I used in this room! I am happy I can easily wash this rug if necessary, which will happen considering a little boy is living in here =) The bed is from Ikea and can flip into a bunk bed when he is a little bit older, a most amazing design from Ikea! The tent is from Etsy and was made in Canada and the painting was made by my son.

How to paint a mural

So you are sitting around your house right now staring at your walls and inspiration hits! I want to paint this wall with this idea… I have a fairly good idea about how to do this, but I never have before…. Well here are some tips and tricks and a DIY guide to painting a mural, an accent wall, or an entire house! Please feel free to reach out with questions and other tips, or mural painting info. I like to keep these DIY guides to one PDF page so it is easy to follow and tons of scrolling through advertisements doesn’t happen, so they are brief, but helpful. Stay safe out there and try to use what you already have, if you want to buy paint, order it online and pick it up in the store prepared for you.

Finish off the mural and update the space by making some new curtains or buying a fun new rug that ties it all together! This balloon pattern is available in my spoonflower shop as wallpaper, gift wrap, or fabric.

Wallpaper Installation

I just completed this installation of my “When Haring Met Matisse” wallpaper. This design is of course inspired by Henri Matisse and Keith Haring, with their energetic biomorphic shapes and abstracted nature interpretations. The pattern is black and white with a pop of bright blue in there. I had enough left over wallpaper to cover a bookcase as well! The wallpaper can be purchased here https://www.spoonflower.com/designs/7454017-when-haring-met-matisse-by-rousehousedesign
