Roomspiration and Moodboard Party!

Today's Roomspiration party is all about KID'S ROOMS!

The ever fun and fabulous Aubrey from All Things Bright and Beautiful is hosting so be sure to head over (after you read my post of course) and link up.

If you don't have a kid's room's to share, don't worry...make one up like I did, or just stop by to say "hi" to Aubrey. I promise you don't want to miss her blog!

In addition to Roomspiration, there is another fun party going on today that I know you'll want to check out...which is one reason I did a moodboard.

It's Moodboard Monday at Pewter + Sage. This week's inspiration... wallpaper.

I really wanted to participate in Roomspiration and Moodboard Monday, so I decided to"kill two bird's with one stone" and design a little girl's room around Leafy Sky Paper from Layla Grace.

This paper is beautiful. It is soft, feminine and sophisticated. Perfect for a little girl's room.

I started with the Leafy Scroll wallpaper as my inspiration and the design grew from there. I knew I would have to add pink. I mean, really...do you know of any little girl who does not want pink in their bedroom?

The Leafy scroll wallpaper (#1) is only being used as a focal wall behind the bed. The remaining walls will be painted (#5) Pool Party and the trim throughout the room will be painted (#6) Snow Day.

Pool Party, Snow Day

Custom Roman shades will be designed for the space using a soft cream fabric with a pink striped grosgrain trim (#2).

Trim: Riley Blake Grosgrain Stripes-pink
Fabric: Cream

In this style

Custom Bedding will also be designed using a soft gray for the duvet cover (#14), euro-shams using a gray and white stripe (#13) and a fun pink geometric (#12) pillow will finish off the bedding.

Finally, to top off the pink touches in the space...a pink geometric area rug (#3), and a bench at the foot of the bed, upholstered in a pink buffalo check print(#11).

When choosing furniture my for my imaginary kid's room, I wanted to be a little practical and use furniture that would last. Or maybe I am just loving Restoration Hardware's catalog right now and wanted to take full advantage of using it in my "imaginary room" because I can.

Either way...the bed, dresser and nightstand are from Baby&Child Restoration Hardware.

Finally, to finish off my sophisticated and feminine kid's design...lighting. As you know, lighting can make or break a space and in my imaginary kid design it is no exception.

A soft gray pendant will add a modern touch offsetting some of the traditional lines of the furniture and will be sophisticated enough to keep in the space as the little girl gets older and wants to change her room.

Caprise lamp

And this pretty, modern table lamp will be on the nightstand. This I am not sure is practical for a little girl's room, but it's pretty and fun and I'm having fun, so it's a perfect way to finish the room!

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you had fun playing make believe with me today.
