I came across this ceremony venue photo and felt compelled to make a seaglass inspired wedding collage.  It’s the perfect inspiration for May in Florida since it’s spring but it’s starting to feel like summer.  These happen to be my favorite colors too so naturally this could be my wedding! : )

Painting the Nursery

May 20, 2013 — 1 Comment

We painted the baby’s room over the weekend.  When picking out paint, I usually get so impatient and just want to pick a color, get the paint and get started, but I can’t stress enough the importance of getting a few samples to put up on the wall.  You never know exactly how they are going to look, how the light in the room is going to affect the color, etc.  So I made myself pick a few samples and chose my favorite (on the left) — Sherwin Williams Faint Coral (SW6329).

The ridiculous gas mask my husband made me wear because I won’t let him do the cutting in part of the painting, he’s way too sloppy. ;)

Big sis Amelia insisted on helping, which was cute, but also slightly challenging since there was never enough paint on her brush.  I’m just excited that she’s excited about having another little girl around!

Here are a few pics we snapped on Mother’s Day at my parents’ house. This little stinker is learning how to ham it up for the camera, and I love it!

Well… I think I decided on a theme for the baby’s room!  I knew I wanted to use black & white, and I thought about mint… but then I had the overwhelming desire to make the room a little girly.  So I chose a peachy pink color for the walls (just finished painting it yesterday I’ll share pics soon).

I’ll be re-using the Jenny Lind crib from Amelia’s nursery, however I took the matching changing table to the studio so I decided to improvise and I’m going to try to use a console table.  Then I can reuse it somewhere else in the house afterward!  I found the vintage dresser at a local consignment shop and love it, despite the drawers being a little hard to use.

So we will see how it all comes together!  : )

The bump has officially popped at 22 weeks. I’ve been having fun scoring some cute maternity items at H&M, Old Navy, Gap, etc., and have also been having fun making some of my non-maternity clothes work into outfits too. Love this navy dress and cute accessories!

So crib bedding… what’s the deal?  How can a set including a bumper, fitted sheet, crib skirt and blanket cost $600?!  I’ve come across a few companies that have 100% adorbs baby bedding, but I would feel 100% guilty spending that much money on bedding that will be used for a matter of months and that is going to be soiled repeatedly.  Shoot I don’t even want to spend $150 on a new King size duvet cover that I know will last for years!  There are less expensive options out there, but they just don’t seem to be as cute.  So for today we’ll just dream a little… if money were no object…
