Lovely Little Room: Boys' Shared Space

I've been a long-time fan of Danielle Thompson's home. The bright colors, the retro patterns, and the mid-century furnishings give the house so much style and character. Her boys' shared bedroom is no exception. Danielle managed to create a colorful and whimsical space (that yes even includes pink!) that still feels perfectly boyish.

Perhaps my favorite part of the room is the wall of brightly patterned fabrics clouds, which Danielle applied using corn starch - perfectly natural and removable. Genius!

I'm sure the boys' imaginations run wild in this wonderland of a room, and that their biggest argument is weather to play airplane pilots or soldiers on that particular day. Thank you so much Danielle for sharing your boys' lovely space with us!

Lovely Little Shop: Colette Bream

I'm completely infatuated with the magical world that is Colette Bream. She's the mastermind behind her namesake Etsy shop, full of whimsical and lovely things for little ones. Her passion for creating began out of a desire to surround her daughter with simple, natural, beautiful things. And beautiful they are - from her lambswool pillows to her linen bedding, her knitted garlands and her papier mache wands. Each of her creations is uniquely lovely. See more of her magical creations by visiting her Etsy shop here.

One Lovely Thing: Custom Name Sign

I'm completely smitten with this custom name sign from knock knock custom signs on Etsy. I'm incredibly into stars right now, so this caught my eye right away. It's hand-stitched using linen and gold thread, and the hand lettering is divine! It's definitely on the pricey side, but what lovely inspiration.

Lovely Little Room: 'Unruly' Animals

Sometimes themed nurseries can be completely over the top, but this one got it just right. Alyson Brown of Unruly Little Things (as well as its grown up counterpart, Unruly Things) decided on an animal theme when she was expecting. She kept it simple with a handmade jungle animals mobile (made by baby Wolf's grandpa) and some fun art and accessories sprinkled on the shelves.

Everything is gorgeous, but the very first thing that caught my eye (other than the adorable baby) was the fern print. I was sure it was vintage and was completed shocked when I read that it was made by Alyson herself! I love that Alyson was able to pack so much style into such a small space (Wolf shares his nursery with the Brown's home office), and was able to pull off a beautiful nursery without a designer price tag. To see more inspiration from Alyson, visit her at Unruly Little Things here and Unruly Things here. Thanks for sharing Wolf's lovely space with us Alyson!
