I first came across the exuberant and whimsical designs
of Laura Day in issue "four"of Lonny Magazine.
It was this image in particular that
really captured my imagination.
I love the idea of using bulletin boards in children's rooms.
Laura Day listed her resource for this idea (Ballard Design)
and mentioned that she simply painted the frame herself.
Now, with resources and inspiration at hand
it's just a matter of time before I try this fun project
in my daughter's room.
Curious, as to what other gems I could mine from this
talented lady, I went searching on the web for more.
That's when I hit the mother load of inspiration...
Laura Day has a really great website!
Not only is Laura Day's beautiful portfolio
on her site, but she has this amazing
"bi-monthly webazine that brings insider
tips home...one room at a time"!
It's like she read my mind!
Seriously...go check it out, you will love it!

Bulletin boards are the best! I can't wait to know where we are going to be moving so that I can really plan out the nursery space and add touches like that. :)
rad shots!!! her stuff is lovely! although stacked books are very attractive, they are not easy to deal with when you want one anywhere but at the top! believe me, i tried it!
Love the 7th pic!! x
Lonny Mag is the best! I am glad they captured such a great space...
I Love Love Love everything in your post! I will be checking her web site often!
At some point I thought my blog could be like a magazine, one room at a time, but alas, I was too lazy :)
Love this. Thanks, Z!

Happy, happy to you!

I think the bulletin board is a perfect idea. I have something similar (without the gorgeous frame) and call it my inspiration board!
Love this! I did the bulletin board in Kate's room. She loves it too!
I will definitely check her site out! So inspiring:)!
Love the walls and really like the first photo!

Her style is great! I have seen her work before and I am always in awe!
as usual, i love all of those pictures. i wish i could have more white but i have a brown dog :)
also, i'm very jealous about your toy watch !
Yes I love that idea for a kid's room. Both Oscar and Isabella would love it.
Something I shall do when we are finally settled in a more permanent place. Perhaps next year when we move to Sweden.. yay.
