Our ‘Neverland Corner’

I read something this week that really spoke to me:

“Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love.” – Nate Berkus This got me thinking of all of those home projects and decor “ideas” I have that I toss aside because they aren’t traditional or they may be a bit different. It pushed me to start working on something that’s been on my mind for a long time. Here is a peek at my children’s corner they now call the “Neverland Corner”.

It is full of bright light, architectural salvage, live plants and repurposed items. The teepee was made by Edward and I. This corner has always been a space that I have struggled to decorate. Now it’s a favorite spot to relax, play make believe and read stories for my whole collection of little people that I love so much.

Update:

I switched out the gallery wall that was originally behind the Neverland Corner. I think the new wall of refurbished wood planks, repurposed tin cans for storing “treasures” and salvaged garden fencing makes the corner look even more fun and magical.

Floral Light Chandelier

Today I made an inexpensive floral chandy for my hanging light. It was fast and easy!

I attached the additional greenery and flowers using hot glue and I used floral wire to wrap the finished garland around the light and attach to itself. There was a lot of left over greenery and stems (which means more projects!)

I decided to add an old metal basket I had lying around as well to give it a more farmhouse feel. I just removed the handle, turned it upside down, unscrewed the light bulb and reattached with the basket between the light and the bulb (the bulb is holding the basket in – hopefully this makes sense?) It’s a very light-weight basket so this works just fine for this project.
