Inspiration Tuesday!

Big Boy Room
Our inspiration today comes from this photo from Southern Living Magazine. Bunk Beds are a great furniture choice for a little boys room! Timeless shades of red and blue make this room really "pop." We love how they brought in both old and new furniture, didn't stick to the norm and brought the bunk beds off the side wall, and weren't afraid to mix it up a little. Little tricks like having a hugger on the bed verses a duvet can make a messy boy's room appear more crisp and tailored. The window treatments are adorable and very easy to duplicate. Start with some coordinating fabric pennants and add in a couple of vintage pennants (maybe from Mom or Dad's Alma mater). Notice that they used a rug on carpet...something we always suggest to our clients (don't be afraid), it adds a punch of color in a sea of neutral. Local antique stores or small boutiques (like POPIN) are a great source to find that unique accessory, you've got to think outside the box!
