I find that either 2 large frames or 3 small frames work best.

It is simple, classic, and refined.

Whether the art stands alone or in a gallery wall, I love the bold look a large piece of art creates.

I think abstract art adds a little color and playfulness to a room.

Sometimes less is more. When there is an accent treatment on the bed wall, I like to leave above the bed bare. I think it is simple and elegant.

A mirror seems to be my go-to. 

It adds a little sparkle and makes the room look larger.

Round seems to be my shape of choice, I love how it naturally creates a focal point.

I also like a to use a variety of sizes. 

I think this over-scaled mirror is playful and bold.

What is your go-to item for above a bed?

xo,

Spoonflower is one of my favorite places to search for fabrics to use in my designs.

Lately I have found a few new fabrics that would be perfect in a little girls room or nursery.

I really love this floral fabric. The pattern and colors are so good!

It comes in 3 colorways and I adore them all.

This Mum fabric is fresh and modern.

I would love to see it as drapery! It comes in 5 colorways.

You can never go wrong with stripes in kids spaces. This colorful thin striped fabric comes in 30 colorways and is perfect as crib skirts or sheets.

I am excited to use a few of these in designs, especially the florals!

Happy Monday,

Ok, this post is not going to knock-your-socks-off but it is a very exciting change in the Oakey home.

Since our move is just over a month away, we have started to sell our furniture.

Last weekend we said goodbye to my kitchen table, which left me with an empty dining nook.

To date, we have never had “playroom”.

Only a few minutes after our table left I couldn’t help but whip up a make-shift playroom.

Having the kids toys so accessible and on the main floor has been amazing. 

They have gotten so much use out of this space already.

I do miss having a kitchen table, but I am starting to think the sacrifice might be worth it.

Our next apartment will have an eating bar on the island, which makes me wonder if we could live without a table permanently.

The extra living space is wonderful and Ikea does have several folding table/chair options.

I think we just might just give it a try.

What do you think? Could you live without a table?

Also, have I shared my newest DIY art pieces with you?

I honestly can’t remember!

I painted over my last DIY art piece and I like how it turned out.

I think the bold colors are more me.
