Another great way to create the monkey theme without actually painting that walls or sticking decals onto it is to hang a series of monkey themed paintings. Check out this great idea with each painting containing a letter spelling out the child’s name and a cheeky monkey hanging about the letter.

Blue and Pink Bedrooms

Inspired by the absolute gorgeousness of this amazing bedroom I decided to centre today’s blog post around the idea of pink and blue bedrooms (mixed in with some white an creams of course).

With stunning white and pink paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling, the china blue bedspread and assorted pink trimmed pillows even the wooden panelling looks romantic and welcoming. This is the source of my inspiration!

Following on from above we reverse the roles with a light pink bedspread and wonderful china blue details in the pillows and all over the room. Furniture in white like in the picture above for that vintage chic feel.

In a slightly darker shade of blue and deeper shade of pink. Playing with florals, pure white walls and painted furniture comes this wonderful bedroom from Fiona of Blue Bell Gray.

From Country Homes & Interiors comes this next bedroom. Country mixed with coastal blues.

Another country style home with light blue walls and a feature wall in soft floral wallpaper. Again white painted furniture seems to work a treat when combined with pastel pink and blue bedding.

What about this wonderful old fashioned light pastel blue bedroom with a few touches of baby pink here and there!

And now let’s take this idea up a notch and match the chequered headboard with the wallpaper and just about everything else! Intense room but nice combination of patterns.

With wallpaper from Thibaut comes this unique pink and blue bedroom design.

A large coastal print gives the room personality, while the addition of a third window allows light in and takes full advantage of the beautiful outside view.

Glittering Beads at The Window

May 3, 2011 Colorful / Decorating / Windows

Strands of colored beads can be used to soften a stark window, rather than to provide warmth or protect privacy. Adding beads to your window automatically creates a bohemian feel and vibe to your room.

The heart shaped glass beads and larger droplets give emphasis to the inverted v-shaped profile in this beaded curtain below. The glassy theme is extended into the windowsill arrangement with the glasses and bottle. The rainbow of colors in the glass beads has a definite bohemian feel and manages to transform the otherwise plain and stark window into something more magical.

When hung like beaded curtains in front of windows, these snowflakes make a subtle, modern, and whimsical addition to any seasonal room décor.

A grand window with a beautiful view. The view has been unobstructed by heavy curtains. The colorful glass beads are placed subtlety framing the gorgeous view. I particularly like the lantern hanging in front.
