Update Her Nursery into a Big Girl's Room

She's growing fast and, unbelievably, it's time to update her nursery and make it into a room more suitable for a big girl. Here are a few ideas to inspire you (and her!) as you make the changes that will transform her space.

Use color for all it's worth–and it's worth a lot. It sets a whole different mood and gives you a lot of bang for your buck. What little girl wouldn't love a rainbow-like, color-filled room? But be sure to use a neutral tone (white, cream, tan) somewhere in the room to balance out the brightness.

Little girls and big girls love wall sayings and wall quotes. Let your daughter help you choose the wall decal that suits her perfectly–just click on our website! We have lots of wall stickers for baby girl nursery decor, plus amazing choices that will strike a non-baby mood as you update her space into a big girl bedroom. You might even want to pick more than one!

Is she ready for a little sophistication in her new girl's room? A pretty monogram wall sticker using her own initials is so easy to do–and the appeal is timeless. 

How about making a Chalkboard wall? These are a little more work, but worth it for the years of use it will get and the creative aspect it will add to your girl's room. When she's tiny, you can draw pictures or write on it for her. Then, as she grows, she'll have a ball making her own artistic creations, from a toddler's scribbles to a teen's drawings, poems, lists or goals, or even math equations. And, don't forget to include a bulletin board somewhere in your girl's room for all those special photos and keepsakes. 

Zebra Alphabet with Name

The perfect way to personalize your girl's room is a monogram sticker with her name. This is also a great idea if siblings share a room; it helps them each define their own space. You can even choose a zebra print monogram for some extra fun, or to go along with an animal theme.

Determined to use pink in your girl's room, but don't want it to be too sweet or too pastel-like? Try incorporating some richer tones like browns, charcoal grays, or even black to balance those sweet pink tones. That will add a welcome note of sophistication.

There are loads of ways to make your little girl's room into a big girl's dream come true! Let these ideas inspire you as you transform your baby girl's nursery into a big girl's room she is sure to enjoy for many years to come!

Give Your Kitchen a Spring Spruce-Up!

This year, welcome spring with a total kitchen spruce-up! Start with a good cleaning–clear and wipe out all the cupboards and drawers. You might want to work with a checklist so you don't forget any small appliance (or big ones!) or any of those nooks and crannies.

It's easy to add some fresh color to your kitchen with a new coat of paint. Choose a color to add to the warmth and energy, or try bold colors for a modern look.

Need to change that ho-hum backsplash? Turn it into something unusual–maybe even a focal point! Or, for something totally different, remove your cabinet doors, then paint the inside of your cupboards a striking new color! What a creative way to show off your favorite dishes.

Add organization and ease of use to your cupboards this spring with labels for jars and containers! We have some super cute labels made just for this! Chalkboard vinyl was just added to our website and makes for super cute container labels!

Area rug from Pier1

Welcome spring into your home with fresh flowers! Try a dramatic bouquet of flowers in all one color, or maybe all in white. Add a pretty vase and viola– instant spring!

Add to the appeal of flowers by choosing a new floral area rug! Ideal for those whose spring allergies keep them indoors. Choose a rug that complements your home's style at overstock.com, Pier1, and lots of other websites or stores!

Make Your Boy's Bedroom a Unique Space of His Own

Every boy wants a space of his own. A place full of all his coolest stuff. Here are some ideas to inspire you in making your boy's room into something special that will be uniquely his. 

First, determine how he uses his space: does he play in his room? have company over? hole up with video games or his computer? Maybe it's just a restful place to sleep? Or is his room multi-functional?

Boys like color! What are his favorites? Even if you can't paint the walls, you can liven up his space with colorful bedding, lamps, and other decor–like wall decals!

Next, consider his interests. For the boy who likes cars (or the boy who wants to keep sister out of his room!) check out the lively "Boys Only" sticker. Does your boy collect "stuff"? Baseball hats, trains, rocks, model cars, action figures–all make interesting displays on walls or in clear containers. He'll take pride in showing off his special things.

Most of us are on a budget–especially when it comes to kids' rooms. Check out your local thrift shops or buy at rummage/garage sales. Repurpose an old dresser with a fresh coat of paint. Special drawer pulls are always a fun touch (nautical, cars, animals)–lots of fun ways to customize that old dresser.

NauticalChart

There are lots of ideas for themes at digsdigs.com. Whether he's into astronauts, cowboys, cars, boats, music or sports, you'll find ideas there. Make his space patriotic, or channel a pirate ship or a tree fort. We have wall decals for so many themes. Don't forget the growth chart shown here so you can monitor how quickly your little boy is growing! 

We also have some great sports related wall decals! These would be perfect for that young man who really cares about nothing else but sports (well, maybe eventually cars and girls).

Have fun with this boy's room project, creating a unique space that reflects the special interests that your boy enjoys.

5 Easy Ways to Brighten Up Dull Rooms

Dull rooms got you down? Bored with the ubiquitous accent wall painted a contrasting color? Let's make it easy to brighten things up! How about painting all your walls one color (or even keep your accent wall) and then add wall stickers?! There are lots of styles and designs to choose from, and endless ways to use them. Wall decals are fun, easy to apply, and won't damage your paint at all.

1. Don't you just love bright and cheerful polka dots? And there are so many ways to use them! You can create a random pattern all over the wall, or make a path of bubbles or stepping stones toward a featured item–or surround a larger piece of art with dots or bubbles. They're loads of fun when combined with stripes too.

2. Entryways are the first things our guests see when they come to our home. We want our friends to feel welcome when they arrive. Brighten up your entryway with our unique teardrop design. You can use this wall sticker alone or combine it with other stickers from walldecorplusmore.com.

3. Dreaming of a Victorian-theme nursery? Let our vintage floral pattern give your baby nursery the elegant and refined appeal you envision. With its touch of sophistication, I can imagine it adorning an adult bedroom or a dining room too!

4. Circles are full of fun and will bounce around and brighten up even the dullest walls. Arrange them in a myriad of ways to add punch to any room. In the lively laundry room below, sorting colors from whites won't seem like so much of a chore after all!

5. If you have ever labored over the tedious task of painting stripes on a wall–take heart! Say goodbye to taping and measuring, and so long to wavy or crooked lines. You can get the snappy appeal of stripes without all the fuss by using wall decals! You'll still need to do some leveling with these wall sticker stripes but it will be lots faster and easier than painting–and your results will be sharp and snazzy.
