Aren't these little piggy banks cute? Hobby Lobby sells ceramic ones that you paint for a fraction of the price the Pottery Barn sells them for. One day when we have our own house I am putting some of this white chair rail up. I love the height of it. I was never a big fan of white but I love this look. I especially love the shelf along the top if it.

I am not going to pretend that I am some kind of artist but these would be so easy to do. I am dying to try to paint one of these. I think I will start with the little flowers. You could even do them on wood rather than canvas because canvas can get pricey. I really, really want to try the top one with all the houses. I love all the little details. Plus I like the white dresser underneath it with the pink polka dot handles.
Oh all the pillows. I am head over heals for all the owls and bird silhouette. Darn if only I had the money to do all these things.


More wall decor. These would be fun to. Just some scrapbook paper, square canvases and some mod-podge. Oh and a bit of creativity would go a long way to.

Definitely a green room for Laine.
More ideas on my list of wishes...
A weekly menu planner. I can't decide which one I like better.
I think I am years and years away from getting any type of bedroom set for Jer and my room. So I think until then it is going to be pretty eclectic. I love the idea of and old door for a headboard and a bunch of different types of patterns for the bed linens.
Clip board wall organization.
And last but not least a chalk board door. You can buy them already built in or buy chalk paint. Martha Stewart has a line of chalk paint that can be tinted different colors if you aren't fond of black.
Wow, you are much more creative than I am. Want to decorate my apartment?
ReplyDeleteCUTE!! I want to do chair rail in our nursery too. AND, I've ALWAYS wanted a chalkboard door!! I think they are so fun!
