word on the street / art buying for kids rooms (part 1)

after posting [lincoln's room], and the most recent [nursery ideas for a shared room], i have received some interest about where the art we buy comes from. here's a few places you can get your hands on some amazing artwork that will work great in your kid's room. some of these are prints, not paintings, which frame easily and wont empty your wallet. and paintings are a great investment, because these will gain value over time. think of art being a savings account that looks really beautiful on your wall and constantly inspires you. all these artists below are currently working in their field and producing some amazing larger scale projects as well. please browse around and fall in love.

here are my current favorites:

nursery ideas for a shared room

the plan is to share our bedroom with baby #2 until he sleeps well enough to share a room with his brother. we have a dedicated "corner" of our room for baby #2. living in the city means our bedroom is already pretty small. but we measured out enough space and can fit a mini crib.. tight squeeze but it will do. i've been nesting like a wild woman, and even though he doesn't have a full nursery, i still want to get excited about decorating something ! i made him this [moon phase mobile] for his space, and here are a few other things that would look cute in his "corner". i kept in mind there is not much floor space.. so sticking to walls, some plush & blankets inside the crib, and maybe a small basket to go under the crib.

1. [bryn mountain display shelf - UO]

2. [roxy marj - heirloom bear blanket]

3. [land of nod - with a chance pillow]

4. [lunar new year "a dream of reality" painting]

6. [colette bream - little house pillow]

7. [crane floor lamp - cb2]

8. [babyletto mini crib]
