The Finishing Touches

The devil’s in the details, and interior decorating is no different. The right curtain, area rug, or even accent piece can make a room look complete, or make a room look cluttered. For this Pooh-themed nursery, the obvious next step in finishing the project was to choose bedding, window coverings that would provide shade from the bright sunlight, a soft floor covering that would give baby A a place to crawl around as he becomes mobile, and accent pieces that would be both aesthetically-pleasing and practical.

It’s All In The Details: Making The Room Pop

My brother is an illustrator by trade, so initially I was hoping to recruit him to create a Pooh mural for the baby’s room. Unfortunately, with his schedule (and his geography, given that he lives 1200 miles away), committing a week or more to paint a mural simply wasn’t in the cards. For those with big budgets – you can typically find artists in your area who are willing to work on murals or other work. For those of you on a budget, I found another option: wall decals.

Amazon.com is an awesome go-to site for anything that’s seemingly random – as in, “Hmm, I really want a giant Winnie the Pooh on my baby’s wall. Let’s see if Amazon has that.” And almost always – they will. I was lucky enough to find an entire collection of wall decals that suited my needs.
