I love this! I've always loved botanical prints, but found them a little old fashioned for my home. These are gorgeous!!!
One question: I notice there are three size on the gallery wall, but only two sizes for sale on the online shop. Are there plans to sell that in between size?
Lovely job!

I have always justified my $92 (its always $92) Target bills by explaining that I am a woman and therefore a "gatherer". I come by it naturally. But sometimes its just too much!
Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed by the STUFF in my house or a little light in the purse, I go on a short SHOPPING FAST. That means only buying necessities:
Food
Gas
Diapers
I usually say its for a week-- which feels manageable. And its so liberating! My house gets cleaner, my kids toys get played with, I'm more relaxed because I actually have more time! The benefits go way beyond an uncluttered home and a fatter wallet.

5 Ways to Spend Less & Reduce Clutter

There are a few hotspots in our house where stuff seems to get stuck, but the most problematic spot has got to be the mitten/ hat/ child shoe pile in the front hall. There are two baskets there already, which is clearly an organizing attempt that failed. Can't wait to find a solution! No more hunt for the second shoe!
Since this project won't take a few hours, I will also pledge to rid my back hall (which is really an oversized outbox) of outgrown baby gear.

My 2 year old daughter has a big girl bed in her room and chooses to sleep on the hardwood floor in the corner, behind her glider... Children love small spaces! Just make the closet safe-- nothing to pull down or fall on her and she'll love it!!


Is it OK for Kids to Sleep in the Closet?

We replaced tile with board and batten wainscoting-- all on the cheap. First we removed to the tile but left up the nasty wallboard, since we were just going to cover it. Then we put sheets of plywood over the nastywalls, and then used strips of wood to create the board and batten look. Very successful-- definitley DIY and very cheap! good luck!

I love the color choices! Can you tell me if the curtain rod for the closet curtains is a tension rod? I want to do the same thing for my son's room, but didn't know they made such a wide tension rod. Thanks!

Yes! Just this week! I'm changing a guest room into a nursery. On Tuesday, I bought a changing table for $40. The next day, I sold the old bedside tables for $50. That's $10 in my pocket!!

Two sheets for your size bed make a perfect duvet cover. Discount stores have great, cheap patterned sheets so you can get two looks for one low price!
