Lay Baby Lay - Nursery Inspiration & Delights!

That gold dresser?  Yes, please.  And I’ll take those starbursts, too!  (If you are feeling brave, here is a tutorial on how to make them yourself, since it would be quite pricey to purchase a collection of them.)

And, p.s., thank you to the doll (whoever you are) who nominated Lay Baby Lay for the Apartment Therapy Homies.  I’m truly thankful that someone thinks LBL is the best of the best.  Feel free to cast a vote if you wish, or at least check out the other blogs on the list for more home inspiration!

Last spring, Chip and I went to a Fleet Foxes concert.  It was the best concert I have ever been to, and the best date I have ever had.  Aside from how amazing the band is, a large part of the night’s success was because it was first time we had been out together since Vivi was born where I didn’t feel overly worried about whether or not she would fall asleep ok, and I didn’t feel the need to rush back home.  It  made the evening all the sweeter, and we had a fantastic time.  Since then, I have had the thought of a fox nursery swimming in my head . . .

I’m excited to check out that pendant from Home Depot.  They recently started offering versions of the schoolhouse lights at slightly more affordable prices.  I haven’t seen them in person, so I can’t speak to the quality, but I’m hopeful they are as beautiful as they appear to be.

(#16 wouldn’t link in the margin – something about that site! – but you can find that pretty red apple print here.)

I know I just recently did a preppy pink baby girl room, but I just keep seeing flowers everywhere, and this unusually warm January made me want to join in the fun.  This color palette isn’t for the faint of heart, so if this bright green scares you, maybe just do one wall in the green, and the others in white for a crisp look.  The white details will pop right off the wall, and the clean lines of the glider, crib, and light balance the sweetness of the flowers, and lend a tailored crispness.  Unfortunately, that amazing wardrobe is no longer available, but it provides some great inspiration if you come across the perfect piece that just needs some hot pink paint and white detailing!

For the little adventurous one who loves animals.  Vivi would go crazy over all the elephants.  I’m planning to get those hooks to keep her coats tidy.  (She loves that Charley Harper book!)

note: For some reason, I can’t link to the gorgeous pink world map print, but you can find it here.
