a tea party!

I was so excited to find my pop of color from Etsy - a 'bright coral baby blanket' per the description.  Well - she wasn't kidding.  It was quite a pop!



So here is my DIY solution, after some googling of course.  A Tea Party with some chai and earl grey.




soak soak soak x 24 hours and then washing out in the shower and voila!

Crib Bedding

After much debate... I have decided on the bedding ... and actually ordered it!!

It is from a lady on Etsy (Cottage and Cabin Interiors) who makes fantastic linen bedding, and one of the few places where I found great neutral linens that aren't beige... more greige... of course!

This is a near-example of my order:  the differences are the color of the linen (see the 2nd picture for what I chose), and the size of the ruffle and ties (I chose 1" thick instead of 2" thick).  Also - I am having the skirt done just slightly shorter, where it touches the floor but doesn't have that storybook look.



This came in first place for us instead of the Bella Notte linens, which were great but didn't have quite the right color for me!

bookshelves??

so there is NO room for anything else in this nursery without it looking ridonculous.  But I'd hate to not have anywhere to put some books, pictures, maybe one or two tchotchkes....

options obviously include the single flat white wooden shelves that you can put up individually... but I came across these at Ikea last weekend during my shopping trip with Mom and Aunt CoCo (Cover!)


You can find them here:  Ikea Billy Shelf

what do you think??? too busy?? I'm looking for a "built-in bookshelf" feel.  maybe above the daybed (shown below with the sad little crib mattress in place before I got the twin)

glider time

is something wrong with me ?!?- i want a glider very different from the usual milieu you typically will find on pinterest, projectnursery.com, etc.!

While I love these below - I'm looking for a functional one with a sleek and sheek edge



I also really covet these looks below but once I sat in an actual glider and swiveled around I realized that regardless what Quatro will think of it.. I personally want one!

the one I've fallen for!

nursery as was....

Here is the 3rd bedroom in our house.  As it was.... This room was definitely on the backburner as it just held all of our extra stuff that didn't really go in the rest of the house.  And I also knew it would get redone eventually anyway if we were lucky enough to have a need for a nursery!



When we moved in we had it painted with Raccoon Hollow from Benjamin Moore - which I loved but definitely didn't give off that light airy feel I wanted for the nursery.  Sooooo... I switched . again. !   To Vapor Trails by Benjamin Moore (I LOVE LOVE IT).

Below I have my posterboard painted with Vapor Trails next to the curtains and the most likely winner of the bedding race (Bella Notte linens in the color Pebble).



This room is PERFECT in that it gets the best light and has the best view of our great backyard.   I will enjoy gliding away in my glider (which I have yet to decide on) in a few short months!

yup....

I'm pregnant!!  Have been DYING to post about nursery stuff for the longest time, wayyyy before I was ready to have any bebes... and now -- being 13 1/2 weeks, I feel it is about time (and I actually have felt like doing something other than sleeping)!!  Here are some of my inspirations thus far...

you may notice no block lettering, themes, or polka dots... maybe I'm kidding myself but I'm going for a look that is pretty similar to the rest of my house, just some refreshed colors!!






(from the nursery of my good friend Emily)




bad picture - but some sketches I got for the nursery from a local antique store




Bella Notte bedding!
