Looking back on 2013, one of the highlights of my year was the trip my husband and I took to Los Angeles. It was a favorite because we had two entire days with no agenda, no alarm clock, & no responsibilities. And because I achieved the impossible – finding the perfect pair of jeans 🙂 As if that wasn’t enough to make a girl’s day, we stumbled upon a Restoration Hardware Baby & Child store – something that I didn’t even know existed outside of the catalog. And let me tell you, the store was gorgeous and chock full of design inspiration.
So if you can forgive the crappy iPhone photos, grab a cup of coffee and let me take you on a tour around RH Baby & Child, sharing some decorating ideas inspired by my visit:
1. Use a large pair (or two!) of angel wings as wall decor in a girl’s room. What girl wouldn’t love that?
Use one of these pairs of angel wings from RH Baby & Child or find something unique such as one of these handmade sets of wings from Anita Spero Design on Etsy:
2. For a kids room or nursery, add warmth and texture with a fabulous ceiling treatment:
All it would take is some jute rope from the hardware store and several yards of inexpensive fabric (or even canvas drop cloths). An amazing chandelier or pendant light helps too…
3. Hang sports balls on the walls of a boy’s room using holders such as ball claws (affiliate link). You’ve created an extra spot to store sports equipment while decorating your little guy’s room all at the same time.
4. For the room of your favorite girly girl, hang a set of these amazing framed vintage map dresses or how about framing a couple of her favorite party dresses that she’s outgrown?
5. Create a simple DIY draped canopy by attaching two poles to the ceiling with chain or rope and draping fabric or canvas over them:
6. Make a statement with large marquee letters – these RH Baby & Child’s illuminated letters are fabulous but to save some $$, you can get much less expensive large metal letters from Hobby Lobby, Pottery Barn, Land of Nod or Etsy. Great idea for a teen’s room!:
A pair of these antiqued wishbone sconces (swoon!)
or these Ellis Swing-Arm Sconces
can transition all the way from a nursery to a master bedroom.
Which of these ideas is your favorite? I’d love to do some type of ceiling treatment (like idea #2) in making over my youngest daughter’s room. She and I have totally different taste when it comes to design so this project’s sure to be the most challenging (but I’d bet also the most fun) of 2014. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
I love those framed party dresses! So, so cute! And I have to say, the tufted bunk beds are pretty cool. My daughter is asking for a room redo, so kid spaces are on my radar! What a double score – jeans that fit (that’s like finding a unicorn) and a RH Baby store? Amazing!
Jeans that fit? Would love to hear about those. Do like the angel wings, and the party dresses. Also, thought the ball claws were a neat idea. Perfect for my sporty boy.
I thought it was a fun idea too but coming from a house of all girls (and girly, non ball playing girls at that), I don’t know if I’ll ever get a chance to decorate up a boys room!
Oooh, the lighting and TGIF sign (for me) are my favorites, what a fun outing!!
I have to say RH really does a beautiful job with soothing nurseries!! THese are gorgeous examples!!!
I love RH nurseries too – where was all this great stuff when my girls were babies??
I loved the four wing chairs around the central ottoman in the girls room…so grown up! And the #TGIF…I need that in my room!
Happy 2014!
I can totally see my oldest daughter hanging out with her friends in a group of chairs and loving it! Of course, the likelihood that she’ll ever have a bedroom big enough for that is zilch 🙂 Happy new year to you too Celeste!
Wow! I wish my room growing up was this stylish and cool! Kids’ rooms have evolved so much. Hope RH Baby and Child opens here in DC!
