I’m a huge fan of the Noelle Dass artwork you see here.  I’ve got a couple of these prints in my son’s room and plan to get a few new ones for the new one on the way.  I love how whimsical and bright they are.  Our house is pretty colorful and I feel like these definitely help tie the house together.

Do you try and tie your kid’s rooms into the rest of your house?

Noelle Dass Artwork, Oompa

I purchased a few of the items shown here in preparation for that whole toddler transitional security item thing.  Specifically we own #1, #2 (ours is different colors and who we like to call Sid), #6, #8 (isn’t he adorable??)–I know I know, I’m super out of control…or am I so IN CONTROL of the planning, prepping, organizing of a lovey that it’s BLOWING YOUR MIND?!  Though he plays with all of those a little here and there, he’s completely smitten with Elmo!  WhodaTHUNKit?!

When I found out I was having a boy, I knew what I didn’t want in a nursery. I didn’t want pastels, I didn’t want typical.  What I did want was his nursery to look like it belonged to the rest of our house which is colorful and eclectic.

I had seen, at a local antique show, a slew of owls painted on some weathered fence boards and immediately wanted it for my son’s nursery however it was a GAZILLION dollars, so I set out to make it and therein came the theme for my son’s room: owls.  I read somewhere after I picked that theme that owls bring good luck, wisdom, and watchful protection to your home–LOVED IT!

My hunt for owls then returned the Flights of Fancy Mobile, which just embodied the colorfulness that I wanted.  From there I wanted unique animals and found the Dodo Bird print, Pongo (who I loved so much I framed him) and Magnus.
