Setting up a dreamy nursery- some pretty decorating ideas // and a giveaway not to be missed!!

I have this little dream. A future plan up my sleeve. I would LOVE to one day spend my time as children's interior stylist & decorator. To create spaces that make little hearts flutter and imaginations run amok. That make mums and dads smile when they walk past the bedroom door or sit in the rocking chair holding their bundle of perfection. I spend countless hours on pinterest checking out inspiring rooms and ideas. I play around with the girls' rooms constantly. Changing, moving, making. And one day it is what I know I will be doing in other homes too. Somehow. One day.

Here are a few of my favourites when it comes to making a dreamy space. A collection of photos from many stages of the girls' spaces.

Beautiful prints and artwork. We love etsy for finding the perfect unique and budget friendly prints. The lovely hot air balloon is from Oliver's Twisty Tales and makes the room whimsical and fun.

Wall shelves. You can make a such an impact with a few simple shelves. We filled the little houses with knick knacks and toys and lined with floral gift wrap. An Ikea spice rack to store favourite soft toys and turned upside down becomes a little clothes rack for baby. I adore Ikea's picture ledges for displaying books and have one in Piper's room. If I ever make another nursery I will be using one for board books and little toys. Pops of colour that can be changed when the mood strikes.

Handmade buntings, dream catchers and mobiles allow you to make things pretty in your own signature way. The bunting above is from Steph and the dream catcher a simple creation.

I love vintage sheets. You can find simple tutorials to make cot sheets online and can turn fun fabrics and old sheets into something new and wonderful.

A little nightlight to make bedtime calm and soothing, Heico lamps are just beautiful. Nothing compares to them. We have a toadstool in each of the girls' rooms and use them for bedtime stories and Poppy falls asleep with hers alight.

One can never have enough baskets. These ones were spray painted to add some fun and store sleeping bags, wraps and toys.

Every nursery needs a beautiful rug (or two) they make soft crawling space and the perfect little play spot.

And of course a sleeping baby (drool and all!)
