The wallpaper is just gorgeous! It’s girly, but so delicate at the same time! Lovely!

i love all the vintage wallpaper you shared! i don’t know if i’d be brave enough to try it, plus i want to change a style of a room so often it might become more of a hassle for me.. maybe i’ll just frame a few pieces of the wallpaper instead! :)

those bedrooms are great! it’s so fun thinking of room designs.

Am I weird for not being a fan of the wallpaper? It’s a bit too vintage looking for me. Growing up in the 80s, that style wallpaper/fabric pattern was a sign of a home in serious need of updating!

i love the first wall paper..i know a lot of ladies are liking the vintage haha i just love how it’s so simple yet so fun. and not too girly? dunno, i was never a pink girl so maybe i’m biased. lol

These wallpapers are really lovely. I really like the way the chair in the picture with the bed on the floor matches the wallpaper. It makes a fabulous accent. I think that framing wallpaper is a really great idea as well. Or as a frame for a child’s artwork.

Now that I am working form home full time, I am in the process of sprucing up my home office. One of the things I would like to do, is incorporate pops of wallpaper. It is such a great alternative to paint/artwork The above pictures reaffirm my love for wallpaper.

I love that room! We’ve been thinking about the IKEA Minnen bed–it’s larger than the usual toddler bed, but it’s not quite a twin size, either. You have to use one of IKEA’s odd extendable mattresses for it (unless you get a custom one made.) We need to make up our minds soon, as Aurora is almost able to climb out of her crib. I love the Lea “Spring Garden” metal bed in yellow (also comes in pink and white): http://tinyurl.com/2c8zetf It’s a pretty enough bed that Aurora could use it for a long time, and you can set the rails at both a toddler height and a “bigger kid” height. And we can always add safety rails to keep her from rolling out.

And I love the Unikko pattern, it’s my favorite Marimekko and a favorite in general. I have a blue Unikko umbrella. I think it looks great in that little girls’ room. Considering Aurora’s room is coral, that paper would look neat in there, but wouldn’t match her other floral items, such as the Target Liberty “Sixty” curtain and storage boxes.

oh, me oh my – I love that vintage wallpaper you found!!

it’s funny, I grew up in a house that had lots of wild 70’s wallpaper, but I think that’s why I still adore these kinds of prints! can’t wait to see how fabulously you pull it all together!

Viv

Yes! Love!

I can’t wait to see her completed room. I’m still thinking about Robert’s big boy room. I’m in no hurry to move him out of the cot though. I’ll be getting a standard bed too.

This post has possibly inspired me to hang the wallpaper in the study. I must get onto that!

As always, beautiful ideas Nicole.

Love the unikko flower design wallpaper I have a vintage roll of bright pink/purple, you can often find pieces of fabric to match on ebay. That first room is adorable!

As to the toddler bed versus regular bed decision let me add my two cents.

With our kids (now grown) we did have a small toddler bed, then a regular twin and then bought them a full size bed as pre-teens. If I had to do it again I would do the Ikea toddler bed now(much bigger than the crib/toddler converts), and then switch to the full size bed at the pre-teen age.

This being “vintage” concerns me, because I actually remember this pattern.
