The Red Bookshelf

It all began when we were shopping at Ikea with my parents, we wanted to get this red tall bookcase, but were debating on it because it wasnt made very well. My dad suggested that we could make it for less and it could be the way we wanted and with better, more sturdy materials. So we came up with a design and with the help of my dad made it! Now I have that mentality to make things, my next project is an upholsterd bed frame, and head board. Then 2 night stands!

We came up with many designs on paper then choose one. Then Brandon with his magic computer fingers came up with this computer rendering.

The result!

Layla's Nursery

The goal was to use pink, but to make it look sophisticated.

Make it a girls room, but not overboard. 

Also something she can grow up with, and easy to change if needed.

The walls are a latte color, and is complimented by pink and brown. We gave her flower vinyl appliques that match the bedding, and can be easily removed in a couple years if needed.

I made this custom mirror, painting each circle the same pink and brown in the rest of the room.

I made more circles to hang the ribbon from. I painted the circles the same color as the wall, but with two coats and a clear coat. The edges are painted the pink. This gives a suttle effect, but still stands out.

Frames to have pictures of Layla and Family

accented by ribbon and crystals, to give a sophisticated and sparkle effect.

A border around the room keeps your eye moving around the room. Making the room appear larger.

I also made these curtains, and put a pink ribbon 

to add interest and color.

Layla's name above her crib

hung with reversible ribbon to add color

and interest. Decals surround to also add

color and interest.
