Nursery

It's hard to believe that we are just a few short hours from welcoming our newest addition into the world.  We are so excited to bring our bundle of joy into our home!  With a neutral palette, lots of linen, and pretty feminine details, her nursery has swiftly become my favorite room in the house.  I hope she loves it as much as I do!

I knew that I wanted to keep the space fairly neutral, but I couldn't resist an ornate oversized gold mirror and the beautiful pink PomPom at Home pillow.  It's a very small space, so keeping it light and airy was essential.  The wall color is Benjamin Moore's Wickham Gray, which we also have in our den.  The strange thing about this color is that in our den it has a blue tint, but in the nursery it has an almost green tint.  Either way, I couldn't be happier with how it looks with the white trim and the gold accents.  Rather than a dresser, we opted to use a china cabinet.  By painting it with Annie Sloan's chalk paint (thanks hubby!) and lining the doors with fabric, it makes the cutest storage for all those tiny socks, onesies, bibs and yes, maybe a parenting book or two...

Some of my favorite details in the room include the starry ceiling, chandelier over the crib, and adorable dream ring by BlaBla kids.  And what about that beautiful day gown?  It was handmade by a close family friend.  The photos really do not do it justice!

Hope you enjoy!

Pining for Pink (aka The Lament of Summer's End)

Somehow, I blinked and it was Wednesday night.  How did that happen??  

With only a few days letter of summer before I begin teaching and trying to wrap up some Over the Moon projects, it has been a busy week!

But needless to say, I have still found time to browse pinterest....funny how that happens, right?  It seems that everyone is lamenting the wane of summertime, as I've been seeing a good deal of romantic pinches of pink in people's home decor pins.

I must say, there may be no more exhilarating combination than PINK and CHINOISERIE!

Do you think the Mister would let me get away with this all pink living room......??!!

Threshold at Target

I love when Target has guest designers.  Have you been in to see their Threshold line?  I was shocked at how nice the quality is in person.

 

I am mostly interested in these gorgeous throws, and wish I had a place for them in my home!  Their tablewear and bed linens are lovely too!  They also have some cool knick knacks-like this metal orb, and the ikat giraffe bookends...again with the giraffes!

 

You can check it out online, but it's really worth a peek in the store!  I think you will like what you see!
