Nursery Spruce Up

Cot sheet trimmed with Black Skipping Boy fabric from Sprout Design

Box covered in faux fur is a great space to store things out of sight


Wall Decal from Wall Allure

Recently I have had a little time out from Tees 2 Knees and despite not having a huge amount of time to spare I did find some time to get a little creative and spruce the boys rooms up for a very little amount of money and given that I was pretty happy with the final outcome I figured I may as well share them and maybe inspire others to get creative in the process.

For anyone who hasn't heard of Sprout Design then you don't know what you are missing out on. I purchased some the the very adorable skipping boy fabric in black and used it to trim a lovely set of crisp white cotton sheets for Monty's cot.

The walls of Monty's room were spruced up with a delightful decal from Wall Allure which I just love and my beautiful mum helped me recover a very daggy old rocking chair that despite not being very stylish just so happens to be super comfortable and works a treat to get an unsettled child off to sleep in the middle of the night. Practicality over style in this case unfortunately.

An old wooden box belonging to my grandfather was also recovered with some faux fur and it has proven to be a great space to hide all sorts of things away and out of sight and the artwork on the walls were easily created with a little inspiration, cheap canvases and bright paints.

Anyway it is not magazine material but it is a practical space that is bright and fresh which we love.
