thumbs up
Name: Olivia
Age: 4 months
Location: Suwanee, Georgia
Color Inspiration: I wanted to use bright, modern, but girly colors and shapes. Being an artist and an art teacher, I thought it would be great to feature original black and white artwork for the baby to look at, and to contrast with the corals, pinks, and mustard yellows.
Give Katie & Olivia a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
Tip For Using Color: In order to tie a new color into the overall color scheme, I usually repaint a few items around the room in that shade.
Colors Used: Behr paint + primer: cool lava 180B-5
yellow gold 360D-6 with a little black added in to make it more of a mustard color.

Ready to join in? The entry form is up through November 9 on our contest page.

Is the bookcase Ikea? What are the drawers/boxes? It looks great.

I love the idea of painting just a section of the walls...it looks great and seems so much easier.

thanks guys! It was MUCH easier to paint just a section of the walls, and since I did it while I was 8 1/2 months pregnant, that was all I could handle. Yes, the bookcase is IKEA, and the drawer/boxes are from Target.

What a mind for design! You must have a mother who passed that trait onto you or something!

this is an amazing room! love the mobile, and love how you've taken a small, square space and made it fun and interesting (and even created the illusion of architectural elements) with the pink on the walls.

Sweetness! Your room is really awesome, but where are the dumbbells and the weight bench! You've got to make that little baby strong!

Every girl would love to have a room like this. It is fun and bright, a lovely place to grow up in. Very well done

Katie, i looked at everyones rooms and the reason why i love yours so much is because it doesnt look anything like anyone elses. You are completely unique and have such a neat creative personal twist on everything you do, that brands itself as yours. You can see something and just know "thats katie" - you are a true designer. I cant stop staring at this picture, it is just the cutest room i have ever seen for a kid katie im not kidding. I love you so much and i know olivia will love and appreciate it when shes old enough to appreciate more than milk and a ceiling fan! xoxoxo

I gave this room a 'thumbs up', but I'm curious as to all the commenters--are any of them NOT from friends & family? I know that's within the rules, but still.
view SQ's profile
um to the commenter above. yes many of the comments were left by people I know, but I think they thought they had to as part of the voting. and lots of the comments are NOT from people I know. thanks for your vote though.
