Susie's Room - Guest & Grandbaby Room


AND....drumroll please...
The lovely Guest/Grandbaby Room!

A mix of California {7}, Personal
Taste {2}{8}, and France {13}!


Love the versatility with all the storage
and two sleeping areas - the bed is a twin, 
but if you want to fit a married couple
just substitute it for a double/queen.

 See below for Other Decor, and the Ladder {10}
 and Dresser {16} DIY Tutorials!!


LOVE how it turned out!

This is such a great storage piece!
Absolutely love the larger-than-life massive quality of it,
and how so many other types of storage can work with it!

On that note... check out this woven chest from IKEA -
We designed the dimensions of the ladder to fit
this great storage piece - you can slide it underneath!!

Just bought this book by Kim Barnouin,
and I absolutely LOVE it!  I've been slowly phasing out
unhealthy products and chemicals and replacing them
with healthier choices -

Don't let the title deter you, it's a very informative book 
- a great read with lots of helpful tips and information:


Decorating should be fun & safe too~

Oh Deer | Living Room / Play Room



A fusion of "Young Buck" and "Little Doe"
led me to create this Living Room - it also doubles
as a Play Room for Children.

Who says you need a whole room for each area?
If you are short on space, combining the two
might just be the right thing to do!

. . . . .

Today's Featured Artist is Photographer, Katya Horner,
Read about her art & inspiration below:

Check out more of Katya's photography on Etsy 
via her shop Slight Clutter found {here}.

Little Doe | Enchanted Wood Wallpaper




Wallpaper rendition of the original, "Little Doe" {here}.

Little Choux has some very creative wallpaper -
this one is called Enchanted Wood and you can find it {here}.

LOVE how this turned out!
Maybe you could use the Woods Wallpaper {10}
for the inside of a closet - that would be so cute!

Tomorrow I've got a Living Room & Playroom
Combo with featured artist Katya Horner - 
so be sure to stop by for more deer fun,
interior design, & fine art inspiration!

Little Doe | Nursery / Baby Room





"Little Doe" is the Girl Version of "Young Buck"

I went with the Light Lavender version to stray from
the traditional Pink - Girl, Blue - Boy assignments.

As the title suggests, this design tends to have
a smart, sassy, and sophisticated feeling.

. . . . .

Below are two additional color versions
{L} for a soft look and {R} for a bolder look:

 

{L} "Whimsical and Charming | Little Doe"

Here's your traditional Girl - Pink room!

{R} "Striking Black and White | Little Doe"

I love the punches of black and hot pink, it adds
a boldness - I think it would be a neat addition
to paint the trim color black, dark grey OR hot pink!

This version of the room would be very striking.


. . . . .

Happy Decorating!

Young Buck - Nursery / Baby Room


Bright, fun and a touch rugged! 

This nursery is the room perfect for any little man!

Having been inspired by the Painted Deer Antler {9} -
I derived the color palette from it.  Also notice the
Deer Paper Art {11} {12} - these are strait from my
own studio!  Both originals and available on Etsy!

Also, absolutely LOVE the Child Sized Deer Plushie {6}!

I've got more Deer Decor & Inspiration on the way, so be
