Noah's ark

I love the simplicity and clean design of this room. I wanted a few pieces that made a bold statement for this space. The large giraffe adds a sophisticated yet childish touch. The crib was a complete craigslist score, an elderly couple selling the vintage Jenny Lind crib used by their 5, now grown, children. I was over the moon to find such a precious gem. The charming light fixture was a habitat re-store find! I knew the second I saw it piled amongst the various brass and 1980’s fixtures it was perfect for the space I was planning. I’m sure in someone’s dining room it was hideous but in this precious space it adds the perfect touch of whimsical elegance.

A rainbow and Noah’s Ark themed party for a 1 year-old.  We don’t have a house big enough for 30 guests so it was supossed to be in our backyard patio area.  Of course the rain came down (ironically enough!) and stopped 30 minutes before the party started.  With lots of help from family we quickly got the decorations up!  You’ll be able to tell from some of the pictures that I didn’t have much time…
