Outer Space Boys Rooms and Oopsy Daisy Art Winner…

Any guesses on where this image was taken? Let’s just say we spent more time chasing down princesses than riding rockets. However, the swirling planets and rockets got me thinking about how fun it would be to design a boy’s bedroom with space exploration in mind.

Here are just a few items from Rosenberry Rooms that would be darling in a boy’s “outer space” bedroom. The digital clock is the best!

Also, I wanted to thank Rosenberry Rooms for sponsoring the Oopsy Daisy art giveaway. Selected at random, Alisha {lucky comment #46} has won this playful & colorful Favorite Things Alphabet - Girl Canvas Reproduction by Oopsy Daisy.

Congratulations Alisha! Can’t wait to hear {or see} where this beautiful artwork will be hung.


Have you guessed where I was last week? Perhaps this giant teacup will give it away … and let's just say it may be been the "busiest place on earth."

Will you be redesigning or decorating a child’s bedroom soon? The designing process can get a little overwhelming, but having a plan will save you time and money. More importantly the end result will be a space you and your child will love.

Today I am sharing tips on how to decorate a child’s bedroom at Polka Dot Peacock. It covers the process step by step including advice on color, lighting, furniture selection and of course storage. Here is tip number one:

Ask Your Child

When designing a bedroom for your child, it’s important to get his/her opinion first. Here are a few questions parents should ask their child before starting the decorating:

1. Describe your dream bedroom.
2. What do you like about your current bedroom?
3. would you change about your current bedroom?
4. What are you favorite colors? 

Of course, not all of their ideas may be practical or fit in the budget, but this exercise helps make the child feel involved in the process. From their answers you will be able to pick up on colors and themes (i.e. trucks, butterflies, dinosaurs} that will help inspire the room’s look and feel.
