”Always be yourself. Unless you can be a unicorn. Then always be a unicorn.” - Unknown
If I were to transport myself
back to my girlhood, this
sentiment would certainly
ring true, with those 90s Lisa
Frank vibes of slam books
and rainbows -- you get
the picture. And now that a
certain coffee chain has made
unicorns on trend again, we
decided a healthier and more
approachable way to share our
love of the mystical would be
to use it as a backdrop for a
charming little lady’s room.
Once we had the walls set,
we set out to find the perfect
bed to ensure sweet dreams
(or days spent lounging with
Now to top the bed. Hard to
do so figuratively, but with
a fun Mexican blanket from
Gunn & Swain, it made doing
so a breeze. The burst of color
was a natural choice to tie
in the bright colors from the
Target llama bedsheets. The
combination was dreamy.
Keeping in mind the grandeur
of the room, we were afforded
the opportunity to play with
dimensions. To that effect we
were able to add a LoungeLife
Hammock chair by H&M which
created a separate day-
dreaming space. And because
we know life can’t only be
about unicorns and rainbows,
we added a desk space for the
inevitable patch of homework
or to be able to create some
art should the whim strike.
In lieu of a traditional
nightstand, we placed a
handmade Stapley doll on
top of a macrame shelf. We
liked how the wood and metal
played off of each other as we
like to mix textures. We’re big
fans of contrast over here at
Babiekins.
To keep the theme of whimsy
throughout, we framed unicorn,
rainbow and heart prints by
Etsy shop Invited by Audriana.
We also tucked handmade
wooden toys from Sweet
Whimsey Designs around the
room and into Plum + Sparrow
nesting baskets. The baskets
were also good for adding
some fauna to the room. To
keep with the idea of bringing
the outside in, we also added
a handmade saguaro cactus
pillow from Boho Baby Heaven
to the bed and a neon cactus
lamp from Sunnylife. And lest
we forget, a unicorn plush from
Meri Meri, too. The combination
of all these magical things
really brightened up the space
and gave it the eclectic, yet
thematic structure we were
looking to create.

For this room transformation,
it’s not surprising that we
started with our all time
favorite wall color palette -
white. It’s the perfect base and
gives everything else we plan
to layer in the room the perfect
pop, like the cheerful rainbow
decals from our friends at

your squad planning world
domination). Clearly it needed
to be soft, yet fierce. That’s a
lot to ask of a bed frame, but
we found it with this perfect
bed by Incy Interiors. In a
modern rose gold color, this
classic shape gets an instant
upgrade and sets the stage
perfectly for an environment of
grace and strength.
