Recently they contacted me about trying out some art for Jett's new room (which is almost done by the way!).  They have an incredible selection of great kid's art.  It was really hard to narrow down what I wanted so I was happy to find out about their new pin board tool. You can make your own pin boards as part of their site and bookmark the prints that you like. 

This is the inspiration board I created for Jett's room. 

You can see all of my boards here. 

I ended up choosing this Alphabet in the Round print. 

It looks amazing in his room. I can't wait to show you pictures! Plus he has such a fun time naming off all the things on it. 

Right now Minted is offering 15% off all  baby and kids (art prints, birthday party invites, birth announcements etc.) through July 30th. So if you are thinking about buying anything now is the time! Just use the code SUMMERFUN.

Cresthaven Master Bedroom

So far I've shared the Living Room, Dining Room and Basement that I designed for the model home. Today I'm sharing the Master Bedroom with you. 

I love designing bedrooms so I was pretty excited about doing the Master Bedroom. Here is the board I created for the room. 

Our budget was $1,600 for this room. This is wasn't a lot considering we needed a bed, dresser and two nightstands plus all the extra stuff! 

The inspiration for this room was really centered around the Arianne duvet cover from Pottery Barn. I loved the colors in it. 

I actually bought one queen duvet cover and had Kristen from Blue Spindle cut it up to make two decorative pillows for the bed as well as curtains. One queen size duvet really goes along way! For $149 plus the cost of sewing we got 2 curtain panels and 2 throw pillows. 

One of the biggest challenges in this room was finding a bed in the budget. I knew I wanted an upholstered bed and preferably a fully upholstered bed not just the headboard.

I stumbled across this Costco Nailbutton Upholstered Bed  for around $600 and I knew it was the one! (We ordered the queen but it doesn't look like that size is available anymore). 

Sunburst Mirror: $25 on sale at Hobby Lobby

Greek Key Sham: Jennifer Lopez Shams from Kohl's (The shams are from this collection but it doesn't seem like they are available anymore.)

Floral Pillows: Made from the Arianne Queen Duvet Cover from Pottery Barn. Sewn by Blue Spindle.

Tan Lumbar: Blue Spindle  

White Duvet Cover: I found this Pearl Embroidered Duvet Cover from Pottery Barn on sale at DownEast for $25. 

Nightstands can be SO expensive so we tried to get creative and stay within the budget. We bought the Rast Chest from Ikea and had it painted blue. Then we ordered 12 of these  from O'verlays and I spray painted them gold. The hardware is from here.

Curtains: Made from the Arianne Queen Duvet Cover from Pottery Barn. Sewn by Blue Spindle

Cresthaven Basement

So far I've shared the Living Room and Dining Room that I designed for the model home. Today I am sharing pictures and sources from the basement. 

Our budget for the basement was $2,200. This needed to include a sofa, rug, barstools, toy storage, chair, media piece and accessories. It was not an easy task. We were able to find some great deals on the sofa, rug and t.v. piece. 

This fabric was the inspiration for the room. 

Sew Hip and Humble made some beautiful pillows for the sofa and we pulled out the tan and blue from the fabric for the rest of the room.
