The Next Mood Board Monday: Classic Cribs

Hi! For the first Mood Board Monday party of the new year, we are doing something special:)

Its the baby edition!!!! We are teaming up with Bonavita, the makers of fine children's furniture, and hopefully you, to have some fun decorating nurseries and children's rooms...starting with the crib (or its conversion bed). I know a ton of you bloggers out there are moms and it seems lately like we are waiting for and meeting a ton of new blogland babies (like mine!), so let's design some kid rooms!!!

Like every other Mood Board Monday, this blog party is all about seeing how different people are inspired differently by the same things. With no cares for a budget and an unlimited imagination, shop the web to create a kid friendly room you love. Along the way, we will all hopefully inspire some real life expecting moms looking to put together a special space for their brand new bundles of joy.

The actual Mood Board Monday Link up party will be Monday, March 7th. That means you have just under two weeks to channel your inner child! These Bonavita Lifestyle® model cribs convert to a toddler bed, a daybed and then to a full bed with headboard and foot board, so you can design a nursery using the crib itself, or a little girl's or boy's room using the toddler or full bed!!

From the Bonavita website: "Bonavita furniture collections are built to last. Our classic designs and expert craftsmanship ensure long lasting beauty and durability. Our versatile collections are not only designed to grow with your child into adulthood, but also for other areas of your home."

Here are the two inspiration Bonavita crib collections you have to choose from:

1. The Peyton Lifestyle Crib/Bed in Espresso

{Peyton, the name itself sounds noble and thatʼs just what this collection is. With its clean lines, uncomplicated styling and simple good looks, this collection can easily be the centerpiece of any nursery. A contemporary look with a traditional feel, the Peyton Collection is as versatile as it is distinguished. An up to the minute look with a classic feel, the Peyton Collection includes the Classic Crib, the Lifestyle Crib®, 5 drawer dresser, double dresser, combo, nightstand, and hutch for additional storage space on the combo. In addition, every item in the collection is available in an Espresso, Chestnut or a Classic White finish.}

2. The Francais Lifestyle Crib/Bed in two-tone Cream

{Reminiscent of treasures found in the French countryside, the Francais Collection offers a vintage feel and understated elegance. The details found in the scalloped apron, cabriole legs and hand distressed finish allow you to create a soothing and lovely Villa ambience. This 5 piece collection offers a Lifestyle Crib™, double dresser, 5 drawer, nightstand, and small dressing chest. In addition, this collection is available in a beautiful two tone finish as well as a rich Antique Charleston Cherry.}

If you're just joining us (welcome!), or for anyone unfamiliar with the concept of the Mood Board Monday Linky party, here's the general idea:

1. This is a fun way to share all of the creativity out there and showcase how we can all start from one inspiration point and end up with a variety of ideas.
2. To be a participant, you need to create a complete mood/design/inspiration board for a room based on one of the two Bonavita cribs (or conversion beds) shown here.
3. On Mood Board Monday party day (Monday, March 7th in this case), come back here to link up to the party. You will need to include your sources in your post and give a brief description of the room and how you were inspired by the photo.

Please spread the word...the more bloggers, the more creativity and beautiful rooms!! Let's try to give as much help as we can to all the expecting ladies and moms out there! So excited to see you back here in a couple of weeks. Thanks, everyone!

Ps. Bonavita is blogging, tweeting and posting on their Facebook page about this Mood Board Monday too, so hopefully we will get to meet some new faces!
