peanut #2′s nursery board

THEMES   |    |    |    |    |  

black and white baby room ideasI am in the process of wrapping up details on Peanut #2′s nursery, so I thought I’d share what I started with for the design of her little room.  Some things have changed, but the dresser was the first thing I bought (I was super excited, because it was exactly what I had in my head and I found it on craigslist).  An entire room of wallpaper was out of budget, so we settled on one wall with pattern and painted the rest.  I’m glad we did, because I think it may have ended up a bit busy, and I’m really crazy over how the color turned out and I can’t wait to share!  The touches of pink were a later addition because the room was starting to look a little too sophisticated.  I’m really happy with that St. Barth’s fabric because it has just the right amount of playfulness.  Chip says it reminds him of Dr. Seuss.  We are getting so close to go time – only four weeks left – and I’m anxious to get all the details ironed out!  I sent the artwork to print yesterday, so I just have to paint one piece of furniture, finish up a few pillows, and oh, yeah, tackle that ottoman project.

(If you are wondering, Vivi slept in her big girl bed last night!  It went slightly better than I expected, but not as well as I had hoped.  It will be a transition!  She is overall very excited about it, but had a tough time letting us leave her last night.  And she decided to wake up at 5 a.m.  I hope we can quickly get back onto a good schedule, because bedtime is normally a very peaceful and quick process.  The good news is that I was completely dreading naptime, and she nodded off in her bed before I finished the second book . . . which has never happened ever before.  She wore herself – and her mama – completely out.  I’m hoping it will help her realize that it’s ok to sleep there!)

wee little bairn (revisited)

THEMES   |    |    |    |  

baby room ideasThis board is a revisit of one of my favorites from last year; I love the cozy palette and the comforting mix of tartans.  How fun is that DIY ottoman?  I was looking for some inspiration for baby nursery 2 (I wanted to incorporate a little plaid/tartan) and I hope to try it as it would be the perfect addition!

hunting camo baby room ideasI have received quite a few requests for a nursery that incorporates camo, so here is my suggestion for how to make it work.  If you try to collect vintage hunting items (such as the wooden crate above, vintage hunting illustrations and ads, and even vintage camo fabric – might be fun to use a father or grandfather’s camo gear to make pillows!) then you will have more success putting a room together that feels warm and inviting with a lot of heritage represented.  I’m hopeful this will help some of you who are trying to compromise with daddies who insist on this feature.  If nothing else, perhaps it will inspire a man cave?

tartan scottish plaid baby room ideas

I always loved the part in “Lady and the Tramp” where the scottie dog says Lassie’s mistress is expecting a “wee bairn.”  Here is a board for your wee bairn, with rich chocolate walls and cozy tartan for a sweet space to slumber and play.  (I am a little crazy over the plaid vintage tins – perfect for organizing q-tips, cotton balls, and tiny baby items!)
