Monday Design Inspirations: 03/26/2012

Today’s roundup is filled with the coolest ideas for weekly pregnancy pictures, magnetic wallpaper, an affordable idea for displaying kiddie art, a bird nest for the entire family, and a handmade car wallet for boys on the go!

pregnancy photo ideas

Miranda of One Little Minute had a wonderful idea to track her second pregnancy — Project Baby. Miranda made a 40-week tee (which she sells right here) and snapped pics of her growing bump every week, creating fun photo collages like the one you see here.

Magnetic Wallpaper for Kids

Holly Becker of Decor8 always has great finds to share. It is thanks to her that I learned about many favorites, like Spoonflower and Elissa Hudson. And now, Sian Zeng! Xiang ‘Sian’ Zeng is a fabulous designer with a new, fresh magnetic wallpaper collection. Sian’s designs are simply darling, with a hint of vintage.

pegboard decor

An organized and functional art space for kiddos! If you’ve got a budding artist on your hands, then you know that the pencils, crayons, paper and projects are endless. This stylish solution from Style Cookie (a Dutch website) uses a painted pegboard, with looped wire and clothespins, to display children’s art. It’s an affordable and creative kid’s art display idea!

Giant Bird Nest Bed

This is by far the coolest bed EVER! This giant bird’s nest bed by O*GE Creative Group was created as a prototype for new and inspiring socializing space, which resulted in this combination piece of furniture and playground. Available (on demand) in three dimensions, the larger version can accommodate 16 people!

And last but not least, check out this fun wheelie car wallet for the little boy on the go! (made by My Happy Hobbies)

Color Trend for 2011

Each year, the color experts at Pantone choose a color that will set trends for the new year.

2010 was all about turquoise. Calm. Serene.

But 2011’s color of the year is… Honeysuckle.

Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day – with nothing “everyday” about it. – Pantone.com

honeysuckle pink nursery baby

That’s right!

This year we move towards the vibrant, dynamic, brilliant and upbeat Honeysuckle Pink.

While I absolutely adore this color, I know most of you are not going to run off and paint the walls of the nursery in Honeysuckle.

I suggest adding a touch of fun to your decor by incorporating it in smaller items throughout the room like picture frames or a table lamp.

1. Light Years Lamp

2. Ornate Resin Picture Frame

3. Square Rice Paper Lantern

4. Elizabeth Double Roll Wallpaper in Pink/Silver

5. Koko Company Floormat Optic in Pink/Red

6. Boon Pink Flair Pedestal High Chair

7. New Arrivals Curtain Set

8. New Arrivals Crib Bedding Blommin Dahlia

* Budget-Friendly Tip: Update an existing piece of furniture by repainting knobs and drawer pulls in Honeysuckle.

To Wallpaper, or Not to Wallpaper: That is the Question

Yes. I can’t believe it either.

Wallpaper has made a come back and I can’t get enough of it!

Consider wallpaper for an accent wall to create a dramatic effect. Go for a large-scale patterned wallpaper on one wall and paint the remaining walls in a soft, yet complimentary, color.

Terrified of wallpapering your home? Turn wallpaper into art by framing it. Use two or three large frames hung side by side or create a 3 by 3 wallpaper feature with smaller frames.
