Hello and Happy Thursday!
Today I'd like to introduce you to my new blog friend Aimee.
Aimee is a self-proclaimed, "do-it-yourself girly-girl with a head full of ideas and fingernails perpetually splattered with paint".
I was so excited when she emailed me about her latest reno project.
She used our reading room as inspiration...
...as inspiration for her recent nursery make over.
Check it out!
Before...
After...
From ripping out the old paneling and ceiling tiles, to installing new windows, to completely re-wiring the room- Aimee really created a beautiful room for her baby-
don't you think?
For the full story, and more before and after shots, head on over to Aimee's blog:
My Pink Life
And Aimee, if you're reading this, way to rock that re-do girl!
Now on to the free stuff!
If you dig the vinyl "wall words" in Aimee's nursery, you will love today's giveaway!
Leen the Graphics Queen
has offered to give one lucky TLC reader a $50 Gift Certificate to use on the graphic(s) of your choice!
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post between now (Thursday, May 27th, 2010) and Monday (May 31, 2010 at noon CST).
And, yes, she can create custom graphics too.

LOVE the nursery makeover!!!
And great giveaway! I'm totally digging the vinyl art right now- what an easy, cool way to make a statement in a room!! :)
I love that the nursery is so calm and soothing. My husband and I are trying for a baby, and I don't think I'll want to find out whether it's a boy or girl. This room offers the perfect option for decorating a beautiful baby room that isn't all pink or all blue.
Nice work Aimee!!! Love the vinyl lettering!
Jen
i love your reading room and the inspiration nursery that came from it!

I have just the phrase in mind if I was lucky enough to win! Love the stripes here, love them on your wall as well. I have painted stripes before and know what a challenge but so worth it. thanks.
What a gorgeous nursery! and I love the "fingernails perpetually splattered with paint" part...I can certainly understand that!
Lovely nursery!!
The nursery turned out so lovely -- I especially like the branches turned curtain rods. So creative!
Yay, I love vinyl! Thanks for the great inspiration! (and giveaways) b
I.am.in.LOVE with that nursery! I always dreamed about doing something magical with my future nursery, maybe something mystical like wizards and unicorns - or something nature-related and this is perfect! I would love to win one of those vinyls although I wouldn't know where to put it just yet, as we're still renting our place. But I have tons of plans for my future home - I even have a floorplan drawn out! I love your blog, you have inspired me SO much over the past few weeks!
-Rachael

I love the drapes and rods for the window! I also love vinyl lettering! Pick me, pick me!
I love how one design can look completely different but yet the same. Both of the rooms are lovely.
I love the nursery. And would love some vinyl for my new home!!

queenofkings76@yahoo.com

I love Aimee's room makeover, and the wall lettering is fabulous!! Love it!
I'm beyond psyched for this giveaway- and in love with both the reading room and the nursery! How fab :)
I'm a new reader to this blog and I love it. It gives me such awesome ideas and so much inspiration!
The nursery is so beautiful and soothing with the neutral color palate. I love the idea of vinyl lettering, so much easier than painting by hand! (which is how I roll:)
Loved the nursery transformation and the inspiration!
I totally adore that nursery! It is fantastically peaceful, elegant, modern and homey all at the same time. Love!
I would love to win the vinyls! The nursery is so sweet and I love the words.
I could go overboard with vinyl lettering--we have Joshua 24:15 in our entryway with our family name and it's like a tattoo. Once you get one you always kind of want another one!
Painting the kitchen over this long weekend. Have been online looking for vinyl "sayings" to use. I am doing my kitchen as cheap as possible, nothing cheaper than FREE. Absolutely love your site...
Makes me want to re-do my nursery...or get started thinking for the next one ;)
Love the nursery and the giveaway!
beautiful nursery and i love the vinyl lettering!! have a wonderful weekend!!
