toddler room inspiration

Toddler room inspiration is everywhere, the time has come for my baby to get a bigger and more appropriate 'big boy room' (que the lullaby music and the tears)... 
I have started to look for ideas and have decided against a 'theme'. There is just too many choices and making decisions is not my strong suit! This way the room can grow with him and we can change it as interest evolve. 
Also as much as it is HIS room, i still need to like it and live in it too - I'm still aa decorator at heart & so mommy approved is key here too- (I'm talking full advantage of his 'not caring' at this point in the game) 

I love the feel of the IKEA kids rooms, they are bright, fun and fresh, so that is what I'm going with. Without being too IKEA at all! My budget is low for this makeover so I'm going to have to get creative and be resourceful. (which is a challenge i find rewarding) 
No limitless showroom budget here! 

This is my jumping off point. I love the artwork of Eric Carle and his art is probably the biggest inspiration. Here is a sampling of some great ideas I've put together for a bit of a mood board. Other inspiration can be found here on my Pinterest



The main image is from 'handmade charlotte ' i love the half height bright paint although in not sure of the mountains-maybe just straight. 

Night table - I also have a 'lack' table from idea i could just paint a bright teal like in the image. 
Storage- Ill be working with a minty-aqua existing dresser so i think it blends in nicely. 
Extras- Im a sucker for shelving and these 'swing' looking shelves are so playful and fun- as are the balloon nightlight! 

No room is complete without some Chevron - so I'm sure ill sneak some of that in too! 

Stay tuned for a room reveal shortly!!!
