If you’re looking to add a little life and spunk into your nursery or kids bedroom, a simple way that involves no crafting or painting is to purchase a rug. Rugs are good for bringing the design elements of a room together, adding simple comfort, or creating a focal point for an otherwise neutral room.  Here are some of my favorite rugs, paired with similar rugs that are currently available, and easy on the purse.

David Jenkins is more typically a wedding photographer, however he has recently opened up a studio in Cheltenham UK and did this elegant maternity shoot there. I am smitten with the modern red chair contrasting this neutral shoot, the relaxed posing, and the stunning elegance that the mother is made of.

Brooke Fitts of Brookelyn Photography is the master of modern NYC styled shoots. All of her work has an urban flair that adds so much life and flavor to any photo she snaps.  This family is a modern blended family, that’s rather good looking and well dressed, so I simply adore all their happy photos and I’m pretty sure you will too!

I have discovered a blog that you would be silly not to follow. Kelli Murray is an illustrator and designer, but the best part is she has a baby girl, which makes her relevant to us and our search for the most superb, well designed, and DIY baby shenanigans that can be found. You may remember her from THIS top notch nursery of hers that we featured a few months back.

She’ll teach you how to make this tent.

and how to make this baby girl t-shirt

She’ll share her fantastic fashion finds including shoes…

Mini & me outfits

Her miniature wishlist

and a bit of Rylee’s closet

She’ll give you ideas for fantastic invitations and parties
