( Nursery Mood board )

As you all know from my excitement in last weeks post, I am going to be an Uncle for the first time and I cant wait. Last week, I put together some inspiration to get me inspired as I will be designing my Niece / Nephew's Nursery. From the lovely images and some colours that myself and my Sister-in-law loved, here is the theme for the baby's nursery :) It's going to look gorgeous! Have a great weekend.

Kids Room Inspiration

Yes, that's right folks, I'M GOING TO BE AN UNCLE... AHHHH! I am so so so excited you have no idea :)
My Twin Brother told me the news 15 weeks ago and I have been dying to tell all my friend and blog family. At times I've nearly burst with excitement and frustration by not being able to tell anyone until my beautiful Sister-In-Law, Beccy, knew everything was ok.
So I am officially thrilled to announce that there is another Wilson entering the world this coming Summer and the Wilson clan are all grinning from ear to ear with happiness and excitement.
My Mum makes me laugh the most though as she is a jolly soul at the best of times but has been singing and dancing around the whole town tell everyone the news whether she knows them or not, hehehe - bless her :)

So on that exciting note, I thought it would be appropriate to do todays post on Children's Rooms. I was inspired to do this as I will be designing my future Niece or Nephew's Nursery. I offered my design services and decorating skills to my Brother and Beccy as a gift to celebrate the announcement.

So here are some lovely images of nurseries and kids rooms to get us inspired:

CONGRATULATIONS NEIL AND BECCY - You are going to be the best parents a child could ever wish for. I love you both very much x

( Some lovely images to say Thank you )

I want to start this post by taking the opportunity to say a huge thank you to all my family, friends, blog followers and blog friends.

'What Wilson Wants' started as a private reference hub for me to compile my thoughts and design inspirations. It has now become a great little social community of people I can call friends.  

Thank you! It is you that has made What Wilson Wants as popular as it is and ultimately made me so passionate about writing each and every post. I adore design and sharing my inspirations with all of you, and I am so pleased that I have such a dedicated following. Again... Thank you all again for being part of what I love and staying with me. 

I will leave you with some of my favourite and hopefully inspiring images. I am very much looking forward to seeing what 2013 has install... lets get inspired!!!

( Interior Trends for 2013 )

What will this year bring in the design world? I think this year is going to be another cool year for great interior and furniture:

COLOURS:
Look out for some great mixture of strong colours working alongside some beautiful muted tones.
I am hoping colour is back on the key trend chart this year. I am confident that some of the great 1950's tone are making their way into 2013 with soft pink, mint green and baby grey/blue. These combined with deep peach and strong coral accents will truly awaken the senses.

MATERIALS:
I have always been a huge lover of Gold/Brass and Walnut, as most of you know, but this year I have a strong feeling that white Marbles with Golds and Brass will make a strong appearance in 2013. Marbles such as Carrera and Calacatta, with inlays of Gold or Brass... Yum :)

What do you think?

( instagram-addict )

I have had Instagram on my phone for well over a year now and I am still absolutely addicted to it. It is such a great phone app to have, if not the best app to have. Where ever I am, and whatever I see, I can take a picture instantly and make it look like I am a professional photographer... I just can't stop using it :)

Since downloading Instagram all those many months ago, I have also become more aware of my followers and the people I follow on it... I am just amazed at all the beautiful pictures that are posted each day. I could spend hours looking through them all. I'm totally addicted!!! hehehe.
Below is a tiny sample of the hundreds of photos I have on Instagram, so please feel free to check out the rest of the photos on my Instagram Profile.
