Stumble!!!

If only I had the time, all the money in the world... and of course owned my own place that had more rooms to decorate. Currently I’m on a mission, decorating the best boys room for my lovy. I hate stereotypical. I hate the colour baby blue! Boys are aloud to wear and have other colours. The world is not just baby blue and pink. No the world is covered in deluxe and crown colours. Pick one! Hard! I know.
My idea from the start was to paint one wall in colours, fast way to teach colour, and have my baby’s name letter spelt out. That idea went down the drain, as we got this curtain, again baby blue, dark blue, red and white types of boats. So English??? It’s far away from Swedish. In Sweden it would have been Pippi style or Barbarpappa etc etc. We received more room décor in this fabric. As I really did not have time to decorate a baby room while being pregnant, so I have left it till now. Its fun, plus I can do things on me own without needing help.
So far we have painted the room white, such a timeless colour but handy. I bought some really nice big baby postcards with really nice frames in different colours where they will go. I have bought some really posh letters from www.poshgraffiti.com
They arrived 2 days ago and in size 23cm. perfect! Bought a pax wardrobe from Ikea.
My idea for that was as baby will grow up and we will be forced to replace kiddy wardrobe for a more adulty one so why not just do it now and for kiddy feeling I picked mirror door, where lovy can sit and laugh at himself. Babies love mirrors…
And the wardrobe is so big even the toys fits. Hate mess being spread about. I got a box with a lid, put it all in after end of play. I’m falling in love with the idea of making my own chalkboard, where we can illustrate over and over, non-stop.
It could be a door? Frame? Anything. L.O.V.E the idea. And I would love to cover it up with tiny hand made Polaroid magnets and use kiddy hand style writing. 
And as have re-fallen in LOVE with an old friend, Curiouse George and I have introduced him to my little one who seem to be fallen as well.


I made one of those inspiration mode –board, after finding all these really elegant and personal and so not ick feeling like the colour baby blue.
