I like the hanging birds. Did you make them? Also, where did you get the white lanterns?

I think those are STRIPA shelves from IKEA:

I think they come in two lengths? I was thinking of doing the same thing with our books. I love how it looks!

Is that a dwell rug from Target? May I ask how it holds up and whether it sheds? Great inspiration in this room!

Yes, I too want to know about the Dwell rug. I really want to order one for my son's room.

Hey guys! I am glad yall like the books on the shelves! Thanks!
Furthermore...yes the shelves are STRIPA from IKEA and the white only comes in the shorter length but you can connect them when you hang them on the wall, the black comes in the longer length. The rug is dwell from Target and it seems to be holding up great, and for $75 I'd say its a bargain. I think it also comes in pink/white and blue/white.

Oh also....yes I made the birds...the mobile idea came from spool sewing and the pattern is on their website...also I think it is a DIY project on design sponge. It was easy and fun to do! Secondly, the lanterns are from IKEA called KNAPPA KLOVER.

I love the yellow wardrobe with the yellow picture frames and box on the walls. Good job on the Spool birds too - Im in the middle of pinning my pieces together for a similar thing.
