Nursery Idea: Storybook Land

Loving this story book inspired nursery! Found on OhDeeDoh

Not to mention that the Barbar poster is just a little familar! :)

We traded a large bag of garden goodies with a blogger pal last year for this lovely Barbar poster! Thank you, Ann! Definitely adds a little touch of whimsy and a pop of color to our little nursery in progress!

Modern Vintage Nursery: Globe Stand Love

It is so fun finding another fanatastic nursery that uses a element you already have. My husband and I picked up the exact same vintage globe stand at a garage sale last year - it also resides in our wee-one-to-be's nursery! :)

The vintage dresser is gorgeous as well and the hanging homemade quilt - oy! Loving the vintage modern vibe!

Here's a pic of our nursery with the same globe stand tucked in the corner! Can't you just imagine our little tot spinning that globe?? Sigh...

Heather Bailey Inspired Bunting Baby Shower

Alright everyone, here's my big shower reveal! We celebrated our coed baby shower last weekend (boys were welcome to escape to the backyard where we grilled hotdogs and hamburgers out on the deck) and it all went so smoothly thanks to wonderful family and friends! The theme was inspired by Heather Bailey fabric and bunting! We're having a little girl and so I wanted everything pink, but not too pink. Cotton candy pink and cotton candy blue became my two favorite color inspirations for the party. My hostesses and I took the colors, the fabric inspiration and the bunting clear throughout the party decor from the food to the gift bags, etc. Here's how it all turned out!

Lovely homemade vanilla cupcakes with strawberry frosting and red velvet cupcakes with blue cream cheese frosting - made by my lovely hostess, Krista!

The entire food layout!

Candy buffet compliments of my other hostess - Laura! Complete with blue cotton candy flavored salt water taffy, pink strawberry salt water taffy and pink and blue rock candy sticks!



In the two large jars we have flavored drinks to match the theme - pink lemonade and blue koolaid (Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade Flavor).

Everything matches - even the banner and quilt I made for the nursery!

Homemade pink and blue meringue cookies in waffle cones for guest favors!

Fun and frilly guest of honor name tags - handmade from crepe paper, pin backs and hot glue!

Our invitation.

Nursery In Progress

Our nursery is still in progress, but it's coming along quite nicely. :) Here's a few sneak peeks! We now have a lovely new dresser we found for a steal on Craigslist, a lovely acrylic stacked lamp from Goodwill of all places, half of the artwork is framed and I finished the quilt and bunting I was sewing! Lovely!
