Anthropologie inspired kids rooms

Kids rooms inspired by Anthro!
It can be done!!

Recently my daughter complained she had outgrown
her kid room and wanted something more updated,
which inspired me to do a little research and
find "kid friendly, Anthro mom approved"
decor


Imagine and create
some whimsy and fun!
Some parents are crazy
about matching and order
in their child's room..
what fun is that?






The key is using some of
what you already have in
the garage, or scanning
thrift stores
with a vision!
Then adding a few new items:
bedding and wall art
and a fresh coat of paint.
Crafting some accent colors
with pom pom balls
or oriental lanterns or lighted stars!
and what you get is
fun!

cute!!


some teens like a little less color


Here is what I ended up with
on my daughters room:


It isn't completely done
we ordered some decals
on Etsy and need to apply
in the places she wants them
but you get the idea..
FYI: the bed was my childhood bed
with a fresh coat of flat black
paint!! turned out great!

This is the Etsy Shop I used,the owner
is amazing and willing to do custom

In my search here were some items that
were my faves:

Winter Weddings with a sprinkle of Anthropologie Style...

Winter is here and it made we think of how
fun it could be to create an Anthropologie
inspired winter wedding!

Why Winter you may be asking?
Well, there are those folks who adore the
season and I have been told that
it is almost half the cost to hold an
off season wedding!
That makes me think of more money for
an amazing honeymoon!!!
If your a true Anthro girl, you
always dare to be different and what
could more different than
a wedding held in
a winter wonderland!

So lets explore some ways to make you and your
guest feel warm and cozy
and Anthro Inspired!

There are so many different dresses and wraps
to choose from that give that
overall feeling of winter wedding..



Be sure to check in

winter attire


Even if you want your guests to be
warm and cozy use the
outdoor landscape
for some amazing photos!
(that you could never get in the warm months)


Indoors and some photo opps outdoors
can be magical!




gift for you guests a hot coco set in a mason jar

Now lets move on to the onto the reception
think indoor and cozy




cozy and warm...

and try out bright and wintry

your style...
