Some Room Pinspiration

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you may have noticed that a room change-up has been going on at my house.  It's turning out to be quite the undertaking and involves a new bedroom for my two-year old, and a new office for my husband (they're trading rooms), which has also necessitated some reorg of my office.  I think it goes without saying that getting to redo three rooms, with the husband 100% on board, makes me so excited that my heart almost stops.  But, it also stresses me out because I just want it done and pretty (remember how I don't have that thing called patience?).  That being said, we've made some progress this weekend.  So I just thought I'd share some of my inspiration.  Remind me again what we did before Pinterest?

The Little One is currently ballet OBSESSED, so I told her she could have a ballet room and the original plan was very soft pink and white.  And we're still going that direction, but when I stumbled upon this, it stopped me in my tracks.

I die over these colors.  So, I think some aqua will now be worked into the palette.

And a few other little bits. (Who needs mood boards when you have Pinterest?)

Lighting (this may change).

I love that this tulle valance also has lace worked in.

One of the fun parts of this is that I get to do two rooms that are COMPLETELY opposite.  For The Husband, it will be masculine & sort of industrial.

The desk has already been purchased and painted in this color.

Dark woods, metals, a little industrial shelving, and maps, he LOVES maps.  But all of that stuff is in my head--oh that's how we did this before Pinterest!  I'll be back next week to show progress.

Oh, and if anyone is getting the impression that I'm avoiding The Couch--I am.  I need a break.  There's been progress, but the covering it part makes my brain hurt.  I did promise The Husband that I'll get back on it soon though so we can have a functional basement family room again (baseball season is fast-approaching so a basement is a must).
