Spaces from Instagram to Reality: Laurenrene93

October 11, 2012

I couldn’t launch this series without featuring Laurenrene93′s space. She was the real mastermind behind this series and her son’s room is nothing short of perfect. There are so many things about this room that I LOVE. I don’t know where to start. The striped wall is pretty amazing though no?!

Lauren is an interior designer in Southern California, but her business is on hold on account of two littles who fill her day with laughter and adventure…so evident in her beautiful Instagram photos. Take a look at her feed, add her to your following and you won’t be disappointed. And in the meantime…share a peek into her eldest son’s room.

Thank you Lauren for sharing your space and your ideas!

Spaces from Instagram to Reality: MadebyLon

October 9, 2012

Every day beautiful, creative spaces fill my Instagram feed. Spaces for children and adults. Spaces that are lived in and loved. They always leave me wanting to see more, how about you?

Well the lovely Lauren, of @LaurenRene93 on Instagram suggested that I start a series featuring real spaces as seen through the eyes of Instagram but taken one step farther. And so here we are! Full of inspiration and lovely designs of moms and dads just like you and me.

I have been following Madelon {@MadebyLon}’s adventures on Instagram for almost a year now. She was one of the first people I added to my “following” list and she will stay there until the day I no longer use Instagram {gasp…not any time soon!}. Madelon‘s style is effortless, whimsical, modern and Scandinavian all in one. I was very much interested to see more of the beautiful room she created for her son. Its pretty lovely isn’t it?

You can follow MadebyLon‘s adventures on Instagram {username @madebylon} and as she is ready to add a new baby to the mix, you can be sure to see some gorgeous inspired photographs coming shortly.

“Mellow Yellow” Nursery Inspiration

June 12, 2012

Did I mention that I’m a contributor to Chic & Cheap Nursery?! Well I am! If you want to be inspired for beautiful children’s spaces that is definitely the website you need to be at.

I originally shared this nursery inspiration with the Chic & Cheap Nursery readers, and I think its time I shared with you as well.

Deciding on the perfect nursery pieces for a soon-to-be little guy or girl can be a challenge, especially if you do not have a color scheme in mind.

The best way to start is with a piece of inspiration. This can be a photo, a piece of furniture, or even a quilt. Decide which colors attract you and how you can incorporate them into a complete design.

Yellow based color schemes are lovely and bright. The color opens up rooms, and creates an inviting atmosphere. Tie it all in with crisp white furniture and some bold colors such as pinks and blues, and you have the perfect retreat for you and your baby.

Dreaming in Lilac Nursery Inspiration

I love lilac. Everything about these flowers is calming and peaceful. Its a perfectly tranquil color and reminds me so much of the outdoors. Green fields, sunshine. So so lovely to incorporate it into a nursery.
