good idea!

@kk415.. we used masonite board from Home Depot. Super light and cheap...and can easily be cut to any size (or shape with the right saw). Also, you can paint directly to a door or wall.

ah yes, maybe that's a good excuse to go to France. ; )
Perhaps if you have the author's name there would be a chance to find it online.
Either way... sounds adorable!

love love love. I have knock down finish on my walls.. so I don't think decals would work.. and I can't afford the glider... but I'm really considering using the dark paint color with pops of the bright blue in my 2 year olds room. Oh I so wish I could get that glider though...

You've inspired me to try this color for my 2 year old's walls. I'm going to do pops of blue and orange color... but nervous about pulling it off! Hope I can do something even remotely as cool as this room!!! (especially on such a tight budget)

love it. I have a 2 year old boy and a baby on the way... and am trying to get up the courage to try a dark gray room for my toddler. I'm thinking of doing pops of orange and blue...and I mostly have white furniture. Hoping I can pull it off half as well as you have!

I got the best deal on a crib EVER! Cute white crib (in great shape with no recalls) off freecycle. Then I actually won an organic mattress from a blog! Now that the 2nd is on the way..and I'm not willing to switch out my 1st.. I'm back on the hunt. I don't think I'm going to be so lucky this time...

I like these ideas. My son is two and we recently moved.. so I'm about to "redecorate" his room. I wish I could get more input from him actually.. but he doesn't know what "favorite" means yet. He does love letters and airplanes so we are going with that. By the way, does anyone have the links to the rooms "Something to Read" and "Something to Question"? I'd like to take a closer look at both of them! Thanks!
