Lay Baby Lay - Nursery Inspiration & Delights!

First, thanks to everyone who entered the Little Choux + Shop Belle giveaway!!  Congratulations to Melisa, the winner! Be sure to visit their sites if you haven’t; they are celebrating their 2nd birthday, and offering a 22% discount!!  And here is a little inspiration for an airy, fresh room:

First, don’t forget to enter the awesome Little Choux + Shop Belle giveaway!  They are celebrating their second birthday.  Just leave a comment on this post.Last weekend, I snuck away to Scott Antique Market for a quick morning outing.  It’s one of my favorite things to do, and it never fails to leave me inspired.  There were some great finds, including this beautiful brass chest from the ’60′s.  I’m making a few style boards around some of the pieces there, to hopefully inspire you to check out the markets and vintage shops that may be local to you.  You never know what you might find!

I have a super exciting giveaway today: an adorable tent made exclusively for Little Choux featuring Hibou Home fabric, along with a $100 gift card to Shop Belle, which has some of the cutest tiny clothes around.  These sister sites are celebrating their second birthday, so they are generously offering these two items as a giveaway.  To enter, visit both sites and leave a comment under this post with either a Little Choux or Shop Belle item you’d love to have!  Winner will be randomly drawn and announced Monday morning, May 20th.

One of you (and I can’t recall who, so if it’s you, please let me know and I’ll credit you!) once wrote on your blog that “black accents are like mascara for a room.”  Love that!  A bit of black and white can really add a bit of fresh polish to a space that needs some extra pop.  The extra bonus for a nursery is that babies love the contrast, and it will keep them entertained for quite awhile (just don’t put it in their line of vision from where they will be sleeping!).  I posted a few favorite black and white accents on BHG style spotters today – check it out for the sources!  (And don’t forget to enter the quilt giveaway!!)

Today I have a giveaway from the talented Jessie of Paper Box Quilt Co.  She handcrafted the beautiful quilt pictured above just for one of you!  If you want to enter, just leave a comment on this post (be sure to visit her shop!) and the winner will be drawn randomly and announced this Friday morning (May 10th).  In case you need any extra inspiration, below is a board around this lovely heirloom:
