Here's What...





A few of my favorite random things right now...


I love this kitchen so much.  It's such a nice change of pace from all the white on white kitchens I've been seeing lately- not that I don't love them too.  I'm really loving the brushed gold hardware too.  Great example of mixing metals in the kitchen to warm up the space.


I was in Loft last weekend and their shorts game is on point.  I loved like 5 different pairs but I loved these most of all.  I'm picturing them with this sleeveless chambray shirt.  Yes, please!


Warm Weather = Sangria Time.  I pinned these recipes from Domaine and can't wait to try them out.  The one in the photo is the Tropical Sangria with guava and passion fruit- yum.


Recently a bunch of super talented bloggers and designers completed a One Room Challenge- to completely flip a room in 6 weeks.  There were so many amazing rooms but this bathroom by Vanessa Francis Design for her teenage daughter really stood out to me.  You have to check out her full blog post to see the before and after.

Organizing the Nursery

Thank you all so much for all of your positive feedback on my nursery reveal last week!  I had so much fun decorating and can't wait to personalize it when this baby decides to arrive.  Currently I am two days past my due date so think positive thoughts for me that he or she doesn't wait too much longer!

If you are pregnant with your first or thinking about starting a family soon you will find that baby's come with a lot of stuff.  Like- more stuff than you can imagine.  And maybe I'll find I won't need half of it but it's always good to be prepared.  After my baby shower we set out to start organizing all of our great new gifts.


The dresser we have, Pottery Barn Emery, is also doubling as our changing table.  In one of the top two drawers we  are storing baby accessories- so this meant pacifiers, hats, socks, and mittens.


In the other drawers directly under the changing pad we have all of the diapers, wipes and creams.



The middle two drawers are onesies and sleepers organized by size.  We rolled the onesies to save on space- not sure we'll have time to do that in the future but it sure does make for a pretty picture!  And last set of drawers stores our swaddle blankets, bibs, burp cloths and stroller blankets.


I used the Ikea Skubb Box, set of 6 organizers and they are a lifesaver!  They keep everything everything neatly organized, come in great sizes and they're super cheap.

In the closet we repurposed the Ikea Kallax shelving unit I previously had in my office and laid it on it's side to utilize all of the storage space at the bottom of the closet.


Baby R has lots of books so we used the top two shelves for storing those and the bottom I used striped fabric bins from Target to store other blankets and baby supplies.

Baby R's Nursery- The Reveal


Finally!  After months of careful planning and decorating I am finally ready to show you Baby R's nursery as it stands today.  Reminder- we don't know the gender so I kept everything really neutral but I also left plenty of open spots to go back and add with some girl or boy items to make the room feel more personalized.  I am so happy with the way it turned out- I hope you enjoy it too!


On the left side of the room we changed out our hinged closet doors to be sliding so we could keep the crib and rocking chair next to each other.


The crib is the Kendall Crib from Pottery Barn kids.

Mobile is from Pottery Barn Kids too.


I went back and forth about what to hang above the crib.  I was initially going to hang the animal prints above the crib but I had visions of frames crashing down in the night and decided I wouldn't be  able to relax having them there.  I loved all of the colors of this tassel garland from Fancy Face Studio.  If it's a boy I am going to snip off the peach colored tassels and if I decide to do something more personalized over the crib I can always move the garland to the window or across the closet doors.



Next to the crib I have the PB Kids Wingback Convertible Rocker.  It was really important to me to have a rocker that was not only good looking but super comfortable.  The high back and sides make it really comfortable to lay your head back and the arms are at a nice height for support when holding the baby in the chair.

The quilt was lovingly handmade by mom (she's amazing) and the lumbar pillow is Gold Dot from Caitlin Wilson.


I wrote a whole post about the gallery wall above the rocker so you can read more about that here but all of the frames are from Ikea and the Gold Starburst Mirrors are from Target.


The dresser serves double duty as a changing table for the room.  The dresser is the Emery Extra Wide Dresser from PB Kids.


I have loved these animal prints long before I was ever pregnant.  I love that they are real baby animals and also love the simple white backgrounds.  They're from The Animal Print Shop and they're nursery perfection.  All of the frames are from Ikea.


It was easy for a gender neutral space to start to feel a little blah with all of the grey, beiges and whites so I picked out the Jade Tuscan Vertical Chevron Rug from Rugs USA to add some color and life.  I love the quality and softness of this rug and it shipped to me in no time.  I have a few rugs from Rugs USA in my home and I've never been disappointed.  Also important- It still gives me a lot of options when I add things down the line that are more gender specific.


Highly recommend this changing pad cover from Anais + Aden - we got our's at Buy Buy Baby.  The fabric is so incredibly soft and thick too.


Hope you enjoyed seeing Baby R's complete nursery!  Later this week I'll be sharing some tips for organizing the nursery.
