Shabby Chic wall decal from Expressing You

Adorable girl's room ideas from Crafty Nest

Just some cute children's bedroom decorating ideas I've been gathering. So much you can do without necessarily spending a ton of money.

[ Woodtec ]

Very clever iPod dock idea from Woodtec. The first one sold out already, but I'm putting it up to show such a cool idea. The great thing about Etsy is you can always contact the seller and ask for a custom piece.

< Halloween Preview >

I saw these great little pumpkins today on Etsy, from Pumpkin Hollow, and thought they were a nifty find. These have Tim Burton written all over them.

[ Work Revisited ]

I did a letterpress project in college that was a very literal homage to medieval stained glass. At a friend's request, I just revamped it to make it more graphic...and made an accompanying illustration. Compare with the original, below. Someday I hope to do something with these, hopefully some cards.

** I Heart Misha Lulu!! **

It's too much! I can't handle all this cuteness. I am in LOVE. I'll take one of everything. Misha Lulu has the cutest clothes I've ever seen! The above are from the Spring and Fall 2009 lines. How come I never saw this stuff before? I discovered Misha Lulu because she posted about The Paper Nut on her blog she posted about The Paper Nut a little while ago, here.

{ Modesty is the Best Policy }

Check out these gorgeous wedding dress styles from Charlotte Casadéjus in London. I know there is a huge market for wedding dress that still leave something to the imagination (and that aren't boring enough to make you scream), but they're so hard to find! So I'm going to try to hunt down more styles to post.

[ My House....just kidding ]

The Martha Stewart site has a gallery of beautiful homes featured in past Living issues (organized by color!). Perfect for bulking up your digital inspiration scrapbook. I am particularly glad to have these images of Martha's personal "crafts room" (below). Being true to her namesake. I think it would be heaven to be so organized.

* Nicole LaRue *

Another alum from BYU's graphic design program, Nicole LaRue was actually my bookbinding teacher after she graduated. She is an amazing artist, illustrator and designer, and has been super successful. LaRue and Company, and white elephant collective (Martha Stewart, Design Sponge, The National Stationery Show, to name a few). Her Etsy shop has been sold out for awhile, and I believe it hasn't been restocked because she is too busy trying to open up her dream "destination art boutique and cafe" in Utah. I can't wait. Oh, and check her blog here.
