Bugs-n-Blooms Helps Parents Create Amazing Nurseries on a Budget

April 13, 2010 – Prosper, Texas – Bugs-n-Blooms, the premiere retailer of butterfly nursery decorations, has recently been featured in an Orlando Sentinel article aimed at helping parents decorate nurseries on a budget.
Although it costs between $2,000-$6,000 to outfit the average nursery, savvy parents can save thousands by using online retailers to find great deals on everything from basinets and cribs to nylon butterfly decorations. Jennifer De Vol, owner of Bugs-n-Blooms, is also happy to assist parents as they choose the perfect decor accents.
“Decals from Bugs-n-Blooms.com add inexpensive, and removable, accents to infant and toddler rooms,” the Orlando Sentinel article reads. The butterfly decorations (and almost all other wall accents) purchased from Bugs-n-Blooms are easily removed from nursery walls, enabling the nursery to grow with the child.
Of course, this isn’t DeVol’s first time making major news. Her decorations have been wildly popular with parents (celebrity and otherwise) ever since she launched her company. Products from Bugs-n-Blooms have also been featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and in a March issue of OK! Magazine. For parents looking for something specific, DeVol’s team can also create custom designs.

Bugs-n-Blooms is the premiere supplier for children’s wall applications, bug and flower décor and dress up accessories. With a wide variety of products and price ranges to choose from, every parent (and kid!) is sure to find something special at Bugs-n-Blooms!

Beautiful Butterflies - Perfect Girls Room Decor

Pink. Floaty. Sparkly. Butterflies.

There is absolutely NOTHING there that is not to love!

"Meet Bugs-n-Blooms, a darling little e-boutique of whimsical flutterbys and girly-bugs. When I saw them in a gift shop years ago. I bought some lovely lavender and green ones on the spot, (a baby gift). Years later again for my neice's "Big Girl Room" (pink and black it was, so the ladybugs and dragonflies in varying sizes were just the ticket ). And just this week a few sparkly friends are on their way to bless a wee one just about to make her arrival in the world.

If I could come up with a valid excuse, I'd buy some for myself, too. *sigh*

Such is the life of a mom of boys!

Dragonflies, bumblebees, daisies, butterflies in an array of on-trend colors, glitter, fur and sequins (again, isn't everything in that sentence just delish?) there's a bug for every little bloom! Oh, and they have wings and tutus, too."

Oh to be five again!

Decorating Ideas for Nylon Hanging Butterflies

Butterflies signify peace and tranquility, leaving children and adults in awe of their beauty--why not use them to accessorize and brighten up a room or event? There are many ideas for decorating with nylon butterflies and there are tons of wonderful things you can do with them to add flair to your home or any place you want to have a peaceful setting.

Sprucing up your living space is possible without spending a lot of money.  Adding one or two things can create a drastic change, particularly in a small space like the bathroom.  A few nylon butterflies can transform your private space into a serene area to take a long bubble bath.  Because they are bendable, nylon butterflies can be affixed to the wall, put on a shelf, or hung for a dramatic and calming affect.

How about using the crystal beaded butterflies for your dining area? Are you planning a dinner party?  A table setting with soft pastel colors and mini butterflies for napkin holders changes your plain table into a fun place to sit down and enjoy a meal with friends.  You can dangle a butterfly or two from a ceiling fan, chandelier, or even the ceiling to add an extra special touch to the room.

Are you searching for a great party theme?  The handmade decorations with sequins and matching glitter will bring life to any baby shower, wedding shower, or even a birthday party.  Decorating can be as simple or elaborate as you'd like.  How about butterflies on the cake to match the hanging decorations? 

When considering decorating with butterflies, don't leave out the little boys.  No room with an outdoor theme would be complete without the beautiful little bendable creatures.  With so many different colors to choose from, the room won't be too "girly" for your little man.

With Mother's Day coming soon, why not fix breakfast for mom and add little butterflies to the breakfast tray?  Your mom will feel extra special that you took the time to give her a little something that she will remember.  It does not matter how young or how old you are, because the charm of butterflies is timeless.  Who doesn't love the beauty and serenity of a butterfly in spring?

Nylon butterflies can be used for decorating throughout the home as well as parties, but they also make special gifts.  For the mom-to-be this can be an addition or inspiration for a nursery idea.  For grandma this can be a gift that she will never forget.  No matter how you plan on using these sparkly little bugs, they will create a lasting impression without breaking your budget.

Baby Nursery Wall Murals

Tools and materials needed to paint your own DIY baby nursery wall mural:

• picture to use as your wall mural printed onto clear vellum
• an overhead projector
• a pencil or two, and some assorted colored paints
• an assortment of paint brushes in different sizes
• a drop cloth

To get started you will want to apply a fresh coat of paint to your baby's nursery. You'll want a nice background to start with.

The next most important task is to find a good picture to use to base your baby nursery wall mural on. This can be one single graphic, or even combine a few different pictures. It can even be a complete scene which will cover an entire wall or two.
I would recommend hitting a local library to find the picture you are looking for. Cruise through the children's books section and just start nosing and thumbing through the books. Use the library's computers to search out books that may be appropriate to your theme. Many of these computer systems will perform a keyword search. If you are doing a jungle theme, for example, just do a search for "jungle" and see what pops up.

Once you find a picture take it on over to a local copy shop. They will color copy the image for you onto translucent paper. It will probably run you under $2.50. I would recommend even getting two copies just in case.

Hopefully you have an overhead projector available to you. If you do not, just ask around. You never know if any friends or family will have one available. I would also inquire about borrowing or renting one from your local library. Don't forget to check local schools or even just plain go buy one.

The idea is simple. Use the overhead projector to project your chosen baby nursery wall mural image onto the wall. Use pencils to trace the pictures exactly as they look. Once the outlines and whatnot are traced on you can turn the projector off and then paint the mural using your pencil lines. Use your original picture as a reference for color and shading. You really can pull of some amazing wall art with this technique.

Make sure you have an array of paints available to you. I would buy larger cans of the colors that are most prominent, and smaller jars for other colors. You can even just buy a few primary colors and mix them together to get the results you want.
Having an array of different sized brushes is key. You will want some very fine and thin brushes for areas of detail, and larger ones for shading in large areas. Always buy quality brushes. It is tempting to buy the cheapest brushes available, but these brushes always end up loosing bristles straight into your artwork. Avoid picking these bristles out and ruining your work by simply buying quality paint brushes.

Easter Butterfly Decorations

Easter is coming! For the spring lover, there is no better time of year. It's time to celebrate the new growth and beauty of the season. The cold weather is breaking and before you know it, light jackets and short sleeves will make their entrance from the dark recesses of the closet. The delicate air and young blossoms call you outdoors. The feeling is unlike any other time of year.

Decorating for Easter is a yearly tradition and rite of spring. When that spring fever hits, I know the time has come to transform the inside to match the outside. I start by pulling out my favorite plants and placing them more prominently in the room. Spring isn't spring without flowers and butterflies, so they follow the path of the plants. The exquisite little nylon butterflies attached to craft wire and placed into the plants appear as though they have elegantly paused mid-flight to rest.

I like to make new fresh flower bouquets and arrangements for the season and I add the smaller nylon butterflies among the blossoms. The smaller nylon butterflies give it a similar yet different feel, so that they tie into my theme but are not repetitive. For example, in one area I will use nylon butterflies gracefully adorned with sparking jewels or crystals to catch the sunlight. In another, I use the sequined type. On occasion, I'll hang beautiful daisies or ladybugs among the butterflies for a truly magical feel. Close to Easter, we add bunny decorations and eggs into the mix for an egg hunt.

During the Easter season, we celebrate love and beauty of the soul.  Pulling Easter in through the though of life renewal carries special meaning for our family and we all look forward to the season. I was thrilled this year when my daughter asked me to help decorate the kids' game room, too. Her love of my butterfly collection, especially the nylon butterflies with the jewels and sequins, led me to know exactly what we would do for the kids' game room.

We added not only the nylon butterflies and springtime decorations but also cloud wall stickers and even some beautifully decorated alphabet letters in a springtime theme. The room now shines. We created an inspiring and exciting place to enjoy the wonder and newness of spring and get ready for the fun and renewal of Easter.
