Such a perfect way to transform a nursery or child's room!

Our Peter Pan quote looks great in this customer's nursery!

So come with me where dreams are born and time is never planned.  Just think of happy things and your heart will have wings, in Never Never Land.  - Peter Pan

"And though she be but little she is fierce."

-Shakespeare

 

I think it speaks for itself.

What a fun quote for a nursery, girl's bedroom or woman's office space!

We created this for a customer in need of a confirmation gift.

It turned out so sweet, we had to share.

We love how this turned out for one of our customers!

There are so many possibilities and ways to spice up a nursery 

with our large line of wall decals.

Many of these were designed with a little one in mind:

Pops of color with Pom Poms!

Some of the goodies Adonna brought with her were these fun pom poms.

Here is a great tutorial from Creature Comforts blog on how to make these pom poms yourself:

http://creaturecomfortsblog.com/home/2011/11/30/5-minuted-diy-yarn-pom-poms-how-to-video.html

It's amazing how much such a simple thing can add 

so much color and pop!

Sweet curtains

I am loving these sweet curtains Missy and Adonna created!

They add just the right touch to our shop.

Here's how to create these adorable, no-sew curtains:

**  Cut the burlap to your desired size in 2 panels per window.

**  Staple the burlap in pleats to the back of a thin board.

**  Drill the board into the wall or door.

**  Staple or hot glue cute burlap flowers in contrasting colors along the board.
 

--Missy twisted a small strip of burlap around itself into a round rosette and glued it in place.
--We wanted a splash of color so she spray painted ours.
--Then she accented the center with a vintage button.

 **  Add tie backs (ours are just strips of burlap).

I can not believe how cute these are,
how happy they make the space and
how quickly they were able to be made!
A win, win!

Happy Chairs

We LOVE these fun, bright chairs!!

They would be such a cute way to add cheer to any space!

They are certainly cheery here in our shop!

Wonderful Webster Staff

We could not be doing all we do without the help of our staff!

Introducing our Webster Groves Staff:

 Angela Kim and Missy Castro

 Both have been with us for almost a year now and what a difference they have made!

They started out helping in my basement and are so thrilled we have a new space (no spiders!).

We all worked hard to take the space from this:

To this!

An incredible transformation...

a lot of work but a lot of fun, too!

We came up with our own "shop rules" 

to help capture all we do:

Such an honor to work with such talented, amazing women!
