I'm so taken with the work of Nate Duval (have you entered this week's giveaway for Nate Duval stationery from Linda & Harriet?) that I just had to do some mood boards inspired by his fabulous illustrations. I love it when children's rooms feature art that both parents and kids can appreciate, and the whimsical quality of Nate's prints make them perfect for little and big kids alike! This shy bear feels right at home in a modern nursery with a woodland sensibility. A classic Eames rocker, Oeuf bed and cubby storage set a clean foundation for accessories like cheery pillows, an alpaca knit bunting, a cheeky lamp, and a wooden birdhouse.
A Decemberists gig poster in a kids room? Why not? The best children's spaces can evolve as the child grows; a curlicue bed, a sophisticated tallboy, and a bistro set are young at heart without being juvenile, and a warm color palette is gender neutral. Vibrant cushions, vintage blocks, and handmade critters inject a kid-friendly touch, while a brass lamp and graphic rug create welcoming warmth. What a perfect place for a bedtime story!

The Decemberists gig poster is my favorite! Plus the vibrant flower cushion, the graphic rug, the furniture . . . Might be time for me to redecorate!

Amazing...I love these rooms, I bet the kids who live in them are going to be creative!

There's such a retail push toward princess rooms that it's very refreshing to see something so stylish, gender-neutral and different.

Artwork to room? I love it. And they're both fabulous, of course. I'd use either of those boards for my kids...if I had any.

I love the first room and all the precious finds you chose. I have the Eames rocker and the little dwell pillow in my youngest's room, perhaps a cheerful bunting is in order!

these are my kind of kid's rooms for sure!

Geesh - I just reread my last post, and it's gibberish! (Can I blame that on pregnancy brain?) Anyhoo, I was trying to say that I'm definitely going to check out all the links you posted since I think every little thing looks wonderful. ;)

If you are willing to buy a house, you would have to receive the personal loans. Furthermore, my father usually takes a financial loan, which is really reliable.
