Nicole's California Home Tour Pt.1 ... (Via Made By Girl)

I'm super excited to let you inside the home of Nicole Davis who blogs over at, Me oh My.  I have blogged about Nicole's home before, but not to this extent. In fact, it's so amazing that this post will be 2 parts. 


I'm certain you will gather INSPIRATION after viewing these pics, most of which were shot by photographer Ashlee Raubach , which I'm a big FAN of! It's funny because after looking at Nicole's beautiful California home, I was reminded of my own. It seems we have similar taste in things.

Below: her sofa was custom made from Sofa Craft. It's upholstered in a velvet fabric, which is what I'd like MY next sofa to be in....VELVET.

My favorite part of her decor is the BLACK powder room for guests, her gorgeous white kitchen with the BLING chandelier..... & of course I really love what she did in her daughter's room! The paint is PINK, but it's not foo foo pink - you know what I mean? It's a pink I could definitely live with.

The coolest powder room, all black with a DIY chandelier & gold plated mirror. This look feels very chic to me & would remind me of a hotel stay....

below: check out her chunky dining table by oly studio. I love it's unique features.

below: Nicole put together a wall with several framed photos & personal items belonging to her daughter. One item that caught my eye was the cute little bathing suit, what a great keepsake. Of course, I also adore the abstract artwork, I'm assuming her little girl painted it!

For those of you WONDERING...Nicole told me her daughter's room COLOR! It's Benjamin Moore Cool Lava - it's the prettiest coral PINK ever. 

Stay tuned for part 2.....Thank you Nicole!!

So, tell me, what's your favorite part of Nicole's place?

Emily Decorates Her Daughter's Room...(Via Made By Girl)

Blogger & Interior Designer Emily Clark sent us these few pics of her daughter's room. I thought it was so fun! It's great to have a mother who knows how to decorate & helps with the decor in a little girl's room right?! For me, I really thought the monogrammed pillows were a great touch as well as the cute HOT PINK lamp bases!

Oh & let's not forget that HUGE polka DOT wall....oh yea! It was sweet to see that Emily managed to find a place to hang my Love Candy print in a cluster of framed art on one side of her daughter's room! Thanks for sharing Emily!

Danielle Oakey: Daughter's Room Makeover...(Via Made by Girl)

Since so many of you liked the stripes in Catherine's home tour - today I'm sharing a lovely bedroom makeover with striped walls!  These lovely pics were submitted by Interior Designer, Danielle Oakey, who also blogs at Danielle Oakey Interiors blog.

The bedroom makeover is of her daughter's room. I love how she used the colors, turquoise, yellows & reds. But my favorite part is that bold black & white striped wall!  Danielle briefly mentioned that she has ONLY spent $370 on the entire room so far!! Can you believe that?  


I always love it when people think outside the box when decorating rooms for kids. 

This one is going in my inspiration folder for future reference! Thank you Danielle!

Made By Girl Here & There....

Always great to see Made By Girl prints designs displayed in homes all over the world! The Love Candy DESIGN below is actually a CUSTOM 24x36 CANVAS that was purchased by Julia of TysonandJulia blog. 

This is such a great size for a larger wall space... fills it up that much better don't you think?  We normally make 16x20 canvas sizes, but if you 're interested in a custom size like Julia's, then just email us the size & the color you'd like! Or you can play with the colors here.

This gorgeous dining area is from Janell's home over at Isabella & Max Rooms blog. I love the way she placed the 'I love you, blogs & coffee' print onto the chalkboard, clever!

The screenprint below is the kraft one, you can find it here.

Thanks ladies for taking these pictures!

A 10 Year Old's Room by Giannetti Designs...(Via Made by Girl)

Brooke Giannetti over at Velvet & Linen blog has agreed to share her daughter, Leila's room with all of us. She designed this lovely girl's room with her daughter's growing tastes.  

She NO LONGER craves PINK, but more "mature" colors. (A true sign that your little girl is not growing up).  Brooke's daughter is now 10 years old and for Leila's B-day, mom told her she could re-decorate her room! 

WOW....I remember being 10 years old....I was STILL sharing a room with my little sister!! Leila is a lucky girl!

The design starts with a trip to Anthropologie where Leila chose a beautiful and colorful flowery rug!  I love the vintage feel of the room as well as the architectural details on the ceiling. 

Below: beginning the process

And...how about all that FRAMED artwork hanging on her wall??! How cool is that? I've always thought creative-type spaces (like this one) really open up a KIDS creative energy!

Great job Brooke!

Honey Pie Design... (Via Made By Girl)

One of my favorite Etsy shops to visit is Honey Pie Design. I love this shop because of it's bright colors and usually anything with the word "LOVE" wins me over! Here's some info on how these colorful and decorative pillows are made:

 •Fabric is 100% cotton.
•Felt is eco felt made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.
•Opening on back to remove insert.
•Pillow insert is hand-filled with cluster free poly-fil.

I'm always H-A-P-P-Y to hear when a product is made from recycled materials, a BIG plus! All these handmade are quite affordable and would look so amazing in a little girl's or little boy's room! 

Lana, the designer & gal who makes these lovelies at Honey Pie Design also offers customized pillows where you can place any name and fabric style available (see below). You can check out the custom pillow options  here.
