Sickie Weekend Inspiration

Evie and Anabelle were sick over the weekend which resulted in 3 whole days at home. A lot of that time was spent in my bed :) So I passed a lot of the time (in between snuggles of course) perusing design sites And collecting inspiration for FINISHING the girl's room! Have I mentioned that I love DecorPad?Seriously, how delicious are these girl's rooms?!!!These rooms got my wheels spinning on lighting...Window treatments...Arranging wall art ...And fabulous-ness in general!

Be sure you have a) time and b) a tissue for your drool if you decide to visit the site! Anyway, needless to say I was feeling motivated to finally tackle some of the lingering loose ends that I addressed in my last post about the girl's room. For example... I finally decided where to hang things on the wall. Remember this project? I actually redid these wall letters weeks ago, but I had yet to determine their proper placement on the walls, and I needed to find something to add some height over the bed.So I dug this vintage mirror out of my garage and put the letters on either side of the bed. Good, but not great. (You can tell I had sick kids by the state of their room - hence the humidifier - I didn't bother to hide it)I decided to paint the mirror green and I moved some prints into the arrangement as well. I like it!I'm not sure that I've shown the headboard on the blog yet. Well, here it is - fabulous right? Thanks to my mom!Next, I figured it was about time to get crackin' on some sort of plan for the window treatments. This is as far as I got. My mom has agreed to make valances (that will cover the craziness you see going on at the top) and I want to add some sort of coordinating trim going down the inner middle of the outside panels. What you see here is an assortment of pinned on trim samples and an (un-ironed) combination of these two products...Sheers from Target and solids from Walmart, and I used a simple double rod to hang them together. I think (if my plan comes together as planned) that the generic solid panels will customize nicely. Time to visit the fabric store for swatches! Up next on my agenda will be this vintage ceiling fan fixture (currently in my garage) from a garage sale a while back. The girl's room does not have great temperature control, so removing the fan to put in a chandelier is unfortunately not an option, but I think this fun "fan accessory" will be a great compromise. I wonder what a little spray paint will do?

The girls are doing a little bit better since the weekend, but they still have a lingering cough :(

Until next time...
