The Queen Bee's Nursery

I've always had a fascination with bees.  As a little girl I used to make my dad explain pollination and bee hives and queen bees and worker bees to me over and over and over again.  I don't know why, but I just loved hearing about this other little insect world. 

As an adult I have a whole new appreciation for the beauty and symmetry of the honeycomb.  I find the simple, graphic and repeating pattern to be really beautiful and it got me thinking about a whole room designed for a lovely little lady - a queen bee if you will!  Her room would have a nice balance of natural colors and textures as well with a few regal hints of gold.  The lightest blue walls and touches of honey yellow would keep it as bright and cheerful as a spring day. 

Best of all, everything here can be purchased for just over $2,100 (including 5 yards of the curtain fabric). Now I don't pretend that you'll find that much in change hanging out in your couch cushions but I feel like that's pretty reasonable for such a pretty and ladylike room.  Swap out the crib for a bed and you've got a room that could easily take you past the baby years.
