Loft Beds?

Loft beds get me really excited.
What kid wouldn’t love a loft bed? I mean, it would of been my dream come true.
My friend Whitney and her husband Kevin, recently built this loft bed for their little boy.

I absolutely love it.
Those two are truly amazing.
Check out how they did it here.
Since Emory will be turning 4 next month (what!!) I am toying with the idea of doing a loft bed in her room.
Of course mine wouldn’t be built-in (my construction skills are weak!), but semi-custom.
 I love the look, how much space they save, and how functional they are. 
So what are your thoughts, thumbs up or thumbs down to loft beds?

Gallery Wall Update!

Things have been a little rough around here the last couple of days.
Emory caught a nasty cold and has been feeling pretty yucky.
Poor thing, it just breaks my heart!
I was able to update my hallway gallery wall.
I added 3 smaller frames from ikea, $6.99 each, and changed up the layout a little.
I like it so much better.
While I was at Ikea I found this print in the sale section for $1.25.
I love it and you can’t beat that price.

And I am sure you have noticed that I added 2 of my chair printables.

Slow and steady right?
Now I am off to snuggle with my little one, the only benefit of having a sick kid!

Cross Stitch Embroidery Wall Art

I am so inspired by Eline’s Pellinkof’s embroidery wall art.  
She creates beautiful pieces of art by painting cross stitch patterns, so unique.
 This cross stitch owl would be so fun in a kids room or play area.
I would love to try this out!
Do you think this is something you would be willing to try?

I wish I had somewhere to paint one of these, but my 2 bedroom condo is skimpy on the free wall space.
So when I came across this DIY cross stitch art, I was thrilled.
I am thinking of creating one of these for my gallery wall.

I still haven’t decided on the exact pattern I want, but I think it will be a fun project!
What do you think? Can you get on board with cross-stitch art?
Also, you may have noticed that I added a FB ‘Like’ and ‘Send’ button to the bottom of each post!
I am hoping this makes it easier for you to share things you like with your friends.
Feel free to share away…we are all friends here, right?

Keeping It Kid Friendly

If money wasn’t an issue (which it is, boo!), I would splurge on kids furniture.
There is something about it’s mini size that I can’t get enough of.
Restoration Hardware Baby & Child have some furniture pieces that make me drool.
Yes, please.
Or this dining set?
I am pretty sure this is tea party heaven.

I love the classic lines paired with the rustic finishes.
Perfect for kids, they tend to be a little rough on furniture.
And wouldn’t it be nice to have kids furniture that is easy on the eyes?

I highly recommend you check out the rest of their kids furniture line.
It is amazing.
Unfortunately for me, I will be waiting a long time until I can afford theses beauties…sigh.
Maybe my grandkids will have cool furniture?
Would you splurge on good looking kids pieces?
