I have been participating in the Mood Board Monday party for awhile now and I really think some of the rest of you have got to get on this train with us!

This party only happens once a month or so, but it lets you be super fun and creative.  At our last party - one of the inspiration pieces was from West Elm and they really dug all of the great ideas that came out of our little party!  They are hosting the party this month with Sarah @ Pewter + Sage and there are two $50 gift cards up for grabs!  As our inspiration pieces we are using items from West Elm's new collaboration with Patch NYC.

We could choose from the following three groups - either the whole collection or mix and match.

The Patch NYC Framed Art Collection

The Patch NYC Pillow Covers Collection

The Patch NYC Ceramic Entertaining Collection

Well they are all fantastic - but as I was looking at each collection and trying to get inspired the turtle print just jumped out at me as something playful and super modern for a nursery.  So here is my Mood Board for this time around - a playful hip nursery! Seriously - those prints are PERFECT for a nursery! And I love the wall color they had with them - so that stays! 

Mood Board - Patch NYC by frugalflourish on Polyvore.com

Now West Elm doesn't do any "kids or nursery" furniture (which I think they should look into) so I went around to some of my other frugal haunts to see what I could come up with to complete the set.  I wanted to go with a dark ebony crib and dresser/changing table set to ground the room.  The set I chose has a distinct curve to them that I think plays off the curves in the prints.  I tried to continue that theme with the rest of the items I picked out in the room.  The bedding has intricate cut out circles. The rug has the same curvy lines and great gray color that is in the prints.  And then the final icing on the cake is the fantastic cut out drum chandi - it is perfect!
