Welcome to Lay Baby Lay!  My name is Joni, designer and owner of Chocolate Butterbean, which mostly focuses on creating custom signage and stationery for brides.  This site, however, will feature nursery inspiration and various projects and musings from my life as a new mother.  I very much enjoyed obsessing (maybe a little too much – obviously this is my first baby!) over Vivi Charles’ nursery and would love to share this newfound interest with you.  As I seem to get as many requests from new mothers as I do from brides, I found this to be a fitting venture to accommodate the inquiries I receive.  I hope you will enjoy Lay Baby Lay and find it to be a source of inspiration and delight!  Please keep stopping by to visit!

    Hi Joni! I just popped over from Somewhere Splendid and I am loving your site so far! I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind divulging the name of the designer of that adorable mobile over the crib. It’s SO sweet!

    I just found your blog, & love it! I am 14 weeks pregnant, & am loving all the inspiration. The bla bla mobile was the first thing I ordered. I saw it way before being preg, & feel in love!

    Just spent hours on this site… literally from your most recent blog to the very beginning! I am forever grateful to House of Fifty for highlighting your blog in their magazine.  This whole experience was truly an inspiration and I’m just in awe of your amazing talent. I too am crazy obsessed with my daughter’s room (who is also 10 months old!) and I cannot wait to sprinkle more additions throughout her room. Thank you for sharing your creative power with the rest of us! Oh and your little Vivi is so stinkin’ BEAUTIFUL! Congrats and enjoy =)
