Brooke's Look: Upcycled Old Easel

A great way to make a picture ledge out of something you probably already have, it to deconstruct an old art easel. One, it's easy to hang, and perfect for subbing out your favorite paintings/framed pictures/letters/etc. Two, it brings all that love...the dried paint, the smudges...that an old easel has and essentially you have a piece of art holding up other pieces of art.  It's green, it's fun, and it's incredibly easy to do.

An other option is to use it as a shelf to display your child's favorite books in his room. Makes for easy access and rather colorful display!

Brooke's Look: Kid's Room Chic (One)

In our little girl's room, I just couldn't go all pink...it's not me.  BUT throw in a little (or a lot) of my favorite color, gray, and some pale pinks are right up my alley.  This great rattan rocker has been my go-to feeding chair for both kids and the beautiful handmade blanket is from my dear (British) friend, Emma (thanks, girl!).

Don't feel stuck with standard boxes and containers...look outside the box (pun intended) like Lynn taught us last week, and find great and unique storage pieces that can hold a little girls bows, or her socks, or even diapers!

Who says a young ladies' room has to be pink? Bring in frills in shades of gray (not fifty...) and you'll still get that feminine look without all the pink PINK PINK!
