Rainbow theme

My Elle-girl just loves rainbows so of course this HAD to happen.  We painted the walls gray and then added all of the rainbow accents.  I made sure to have each color represented in the quilt in every aspect of the room.  All of the quilt colors are on the desk , bedside table, wall and dresser.  My husband painted the blinds to match the quilt as well, and it’s my FAVORITE part!  I am please with the result.  We do plan on adding crown molding at some point so please ignore the bad painting job.  :)

I had a rainbow/”all the colors” ( as my daughter says)/art party for her 3rd birthday. We had a party at home with our family where we had a slip n slide and ate supper and had cake. 

The best piece of advice to starting your nursery is to start with something you love. It may be a stuffed animal as was our case, or a cherished family heirloom, or maybe even crib bedding you HAVE to have.

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…

We decided to do a whimsical and playful take on the April Showers bring May flowers and focused on the rain part of it and used all the rainbow colors.
