Ava's Room-The Beginning

My little girl is growing up. Out with the lullabies and onto the books. Goodbye baby dolls and hello Barbie. No more puppy dogs, rainbows, unicorns...well okay, she still loves unicorns.

So I was on a hunt for new accessories to put in my oldest daughter's room. We have lived in our home for two years now and she is "getting tired of staring at blank walls everyday". We tried to girly it up a bit by painting one wall purple and filling it with an amazing Craigslist furniture find, although those pieces need some TLC as well. I'm not much into doing anything character oriented even though she got some Monster High sheets and a quilt last Christmas. With characters she is changing her mind about whats her favorite way to frequently and there are always new dolls coming out. I want something that is going to be fun and girly and will be able to grow with her as she grows by doing minor upgrades here and there.

Well, I have found it! Thanks to a post from Blue Egg, Brown Nest I was introduced to a new designer duo at Pottery Barn Teen, Emily & Meritt. This new collection is vintage-glam meets Alice In Wonderland. And the best part (for my daughter anyway)? There are unicorns!

My First Official Post!

Well I was going to post a project I completed for my first official post...but then I found this amazing new shop Bowl & Pitcher and I just couldn't resist sharing! This new retailer just opened to the public last month and specializes in aprons, cutting boards, linens, of course bowls, & pitchers, and other fresh, vintage looking home goods. Check them out! You will fall in love too.

                          I must have one of these aprons!

           Is this not the most beautiful blue you have ever seen?
               And paired with the gold spoons? To die for!
 Also, special thanks to The Farm Chicks for leading me to this gem.
