Ridiculously Cute Bird Rocker

Tweet. Tweet. 

Eric built two of these little blue bird rockers and they are soooooo gosh darn adorable. It was hard for me to give them away.

He made them for the waiting room of Redbud Pediatric's new west Wichita office. I dropped them off today, and within minutes of their arrival, they were being used by a couple of cute toddler boys. Fun. Fun. Fun.

Here's hoping they bring a smile and lots of playful entertainment to all the patients at Redbud Pediatrics.

Now Open - Redbud Pediatrics (West)!

It's only been 3 1/2 years since Redbud Pediatrics opened in east Wichita, but they've already expanded and have a new west side location! Redbud Pediatrics (West) is now open at the Reflection Ridge Office Park - 7570 W. 21st Street, Suite 1006B. Dr. Venessa Lopez and her staff are ready to take care of every bump, scrape, fever and well-child visit your kids may need.

I've been a busy little beaver the last couple of months, creating some fun interior designs for the waiting room, reception area, nurses' station and 12 exam rooms. Oh... and every window, wall and door in between.

All of the large vinyl graphics were printed and installed by my good friends at Signs Now. They've done a fantastic job of helping me give Redbud Pediatrics a unique and bold brand identity over the years. 

Knowing that Eric would be busy at the nursery this spring, I tried not to volunteer his woodworking talents on too many projects this time around. He's building some adorable bird rockers for the waiting room, but they're not quite done yet. (I'll post more on those later.)

Here's a sneak peek at some of the fun.

We ordered these plates from Jane Jenni and used velcro to attach them to the wall.

Even a fun octopus wall graphic for the public restroom!

I bought these giant rubber ducks from here.

Many thanks to my family for their help and support getting everything done.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

It's only been two years, but Redbud Pediatrics has already expanded their clinic space! So, I was thrilled when Dr. Rebecca Reddy asked me to create some new décor for the added exam rooms and enlarged waiting area. 

I've spent the last couple of months constructing giant letters out of foam core, hot gluing fur and other funky fabrics, designing new kid-friendly canvas prints, and painting big blue birds. Eric and I installed everything this afternoon, and I just love how it came together. 

So. Much. Fun. 

Hope you agree.
