ELLA'S SOFT PINK AND GOLD TODDLER ROOM

Over the moon excited to share our newest project, ELLA'S ROOM!

This room was created for a toddler girl and is bright and airy with touches of gold and rose quartz, Pantone's colour of 2016.

Three-year-old Ella and her family had recently moved into a bigger home and were looking to have the room transformed from a baby nursery into a space that Ella could enjoy not only now as a toddler but somewhere special that could be used and loved for years to come. The overall goal was to create a bright, airy and whimsical space in soft pink, hints of grey and accents of gold - something completely dreamy!

Starting with the Numero 74 canopy, the rest of the room took cues from there. The perfectly muted pink fabric is soft and forms a lovely little retreat for laying, reading and playing with friends. The gold stars add to the whimsical decor and tie in with the gold throughout.

Keeping the crib from the nursery made sense, as it was easy to remove a side and convert the crib to a day bed. Lots of cushions and soft linens are fun for the day and so simple to remove for bedtime. Above the daybed are feather light angel wings that can come off for wearing or put back on the wall for display.

Lucky little Ella loves dressing up so a sweet little dress up corner was created for her to hang her special dresses and fairy wings as well as house her growing collection of wands and accessories. 

She adores not only dressing herself, but also her stuffed animals. The sweet deer and cat are exquisitely handmade in Poland and found on Etsy. Ella loved them so much that more clothes for the animals were ordered for her to play dress up with.

A lovely little DIY touch is the cloud shelves. Ella's mom found this idea and happily pitched in to create this special touch for her daughter. The rain hooks were painted to match with the Rose Quartz throughout the room and are great for hanging little jackets and purses at just the right height. 

The gold mirror adds a huge pop of glamour to the space and will easily grow with Ella and be used through the years to come. Looking through the mirror, you can see the angel wings and dreamy bedding.

To keep the room looking as beautiful as when it is styled, sufficient storage was a must! Sweet Ella has lots of stuffed animals that she loves to pull out and play with. Thankfully, they can easily be tossed back into the baskets when it is time to clean up!

With all the sweet details and special DIY touches, Ella's new room is now a gorgeous space for her to grow and create memories in.

HEART TREE DIY...

Everyone loves an easy DIY and this one is just that! On a rainy Friday afternoon, with the help of my 4 year olds, we created this pretty Valentine’s Day tree. To make it, you will need the following ingredients…

You’ll need:

-       paper (construction paper didn’t work well; scrapbooking paper is great)
-       scissors
-    stapler
-       string
-    tree branches
-       spray paint 

Here’s how:

1.     Take your tree branches (make sure they are perfectly dry) and spray them with white paint (or gold, or any colour you wish).

2.     Have your kids help cut strips of varying sizes in various colours (we used white, gold, and a variety of leftover pink patterned papers.

3.     Fold the paper in half,  then pinch in the open top to make a heart shape.

4.     Staple!

5.     Tie string and hang on your tree.

Enjoy!
