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.
Remember the number 3 she made for me?
All I had to do was tell her the size and font I wanted, and voila!
Instant vinyl awesomeness!
Good luck!

Absolutely fabulous nursery! Way to go!
What a beautiful space. Well, both are beautiful. I'm going to recommend the nursery as an idea for my sister in law. They're not finding out the sex of the baby beforehand, and this is a pretty neutral room. And heck, you could always add pops of color later.
Oh I love that verse she put on her nursery wall...so precious!!! I would love to win!!!

What a serene baby room - love it!
Love the vinyl... does she do nature inspired branches, flowers, trees... meaning graphics instead of words? i love it all.
What a precious space. Would LOVE some vinyls!
Beautiful nursery. I sure could use some vinyl decor in my home. Thanks for the opportunity!!

I LOVE the horizontal stripes but I'm totally too intimidated to try them! I'll just have to live vicariously through you and Aimee.
Love vinyls and I have been wondering where to get them...this is great! My only problem would be choosing what to get!
what a beautiful job on the nursery!
and what a generous giveaway! fingers crossed! : )
I'm featuring Aimee on my Feature Friday tomorrow!!! Great minds think alike. :)
Love, love, love the striped walls - both in the study and the nursery. The idea is already in my "Future Home Book".

Yahoo! I need some vinyl.
And darling nursery . . .
I have never heard that hymn but I was kinda wondering if she had a thing for Pirates of the Caribbean"...not that I would blame her...
Room is gorgeous, but I bet not as gorgeous as the baby will be!
You mean I have to wait all the way until Monday to find out I've NOT won yet another giveaway!?!? LOL
I really like the neutral nursery colors and I love the branches as curtain rods.
Kelly
She did a great job on the nursery. Count me in for the giveaway.
I love vinyl, and I love that nursery!
What a gorgeous nursery! I love how she used your two tone stripes as inspiration. I love the soft, neutral palette. The tree is really great too!
I really love what you did with that platter Layla. I thought about it while garage saling and picked up a oval, metal one that I hope to do something similar with-so thanks for being the inspiration for that little project. You have amazing design style. :)
What an awesome giveaway, keeping my fingers crossed. I would love some vinyl letters & numbers.
Warmly,
Karla

Layla, I'm so glad you found Aimee. She is my sister-in-law and lives about 5 minutes from me. She is one talented chickie and I don't ever invite her over because my house looks like poo compared to hers. : ) We are always talking about Layla's latest project and I know she was so excited to be featured here. I can't wait to exit renter status so I can start doing fun things to my own place!

Beautiful room! So calming and peaceful. I would love to get words for one of my walls... it's such an inspirational touch!
I don't know why, but seeing that lovely nursery brought a tear to my eye (Aimee did a fab job). I guess it's because the babies grow up too fast...mine is getting her 'big-girl' room when we move next month. I enjoy reading your blog, thanks for all the wonderful design stories and inspiration:)

I love the stripes! Abbey
Love your what you are doing in your house...also love vinyl letters!
LOVING That nursery. My friend recently painted vertical stripes in her nursery.. I just think horizontal stripes are much more pleasing to the eye.. they are calmer... which is perfect for a baby!
Thanks for the inspiration, as always! You are wonderful!
I love the quote on the wall! Such a great nursery space.
Love the stripes in both rooms!Now what room can I start painting?!
Amazing transformation - a beautiful nursery!
Lovely baby room, and great inspiration.
Love your give away
I am going to check out her blog right now for the beautiful ceiling and walls.

Love the nursery! So calming :)
Love the nursery!! I do have one question. I love the fencepost color that you used in your room. When I went home depot to get a sample they didn't have it. The guy said that behr doesn't have that color and so he looked it up and found one by sherwin williams. I got a small sample and I'm not sure that it's the right one. Do you have the formula for the color that you could maybe give? Oh ya, I would love some vinyl too!
Awesome giveaway! I love vinyl lettering - I NEED to get some on my walls!!
By the way, that nursery is great! And no wonder. You ARE inspiring! I can't wait for summer to get here so I can whip this house into a style more like myself. Your blog has been much fodder for this brain! :)
Beautiful nursery! And what a cool give away!
Love it, very, very cute! I like the number on the plate on the mantel and the nursery is oh-so-cute!
