my indoor garden is shaping up nicely, i just crocheted some hanging baskets to get some of my smaller starts out of junie reach. we also hung to strawberry plants outside with some thrifted macrame plant hangers, i love 'em...

little houses...

before...

after...

i went on a craigslist rampage the last couple of weeks, this was my last find a "dollhouse bookcase"... i wasn't happy with the quality of the bookcase but the fact that it was shaped like a house won me over. i painted it all white and added some fun paper to the backing. i am really happy with how it turned out, now junie's room is officially a toddler room!!!

guest post: design shuffle

Hi! Iím Joanna, a writer for Design Shuffle, an online portal for all things interior design where designers post their portfolio and design enthusiasts can browse top decorating ideas. I get to spend my days writing guest posts for great blogs like ICC Design and sharing them with blog readers like you. Thanks for letting me share some of my favorite vintage kids' rooms.

If you like your vintage finds and shabby chic dÈcor, then these kids' vintage rooms will surely appeal to you. The rooms pictured here are filled with nostalgic elements such as iron beds, old signage, vintage toys and rustic furnishings. Which is your favorite?

This quaint childís room features a vintage tin sign and toy stove. A braided rug adds color to the all white floor. Quilts and a chenille spread decorate the sage green bed.

An adorable birdhouse-adorned bed takes center stage in this all-white vintage bedroom design. The chandelier and table lamps cast a warm glow when lit.

A boyís retro room features vintage games and toys, a mid-century modern chair and art deco furnishings.

Vintage wallpapers in a mosaic hang above a blue iron bed. Lovely vintage fabrics are layered on the bed. Rustic floors and armoire give an extra touch of nostalgia.

Vintage books and toys sit on offset shelves above a tiny child's desk. Another iron bed (they're so popular for vintage style rooms) adds a touch of yesterday.

Rustic vintage furnishings set the mood in this kidís bedroom. Period fabrics add interest to the window and a quilt is hung on one wall. Does this space give you any interesting interior design ideas?

This is such a pretty space! The chocolate painted brick makes a nice backdrop to this room in done in shades of pink.

A vintage sign hangs above twin beds with unusual leather headboards. The plane soaring high above the room adds another element of youth to the room. Images 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

cloud dress...

we celebrated junie's lil friend stella's first birthday on saturday!!! i made her a dress, since i got this pattern down... this cloud fabric was another one of sol's old tee shirts that i printed on probably almost a year ago. i used some screen printing fabric ink and mixed it with a tiny bit of acrylic to get the color i wanted and i made the cloud stamp from some lino, everything from michaels. and junie tried to eat the donut off the package...ha
again dress pattern here: summer frock from freshly picked

birdman dress...

i made another "summer frock" dress... i love this pattern,  it reminds of my favorite american apparel dress when you make it in a knit... plus i'm recycling, this was one of sol's t-shirts that ran a little too small. i wore it a bunch while i was pregnant it is super soft.
