Ages 0-2

I wanted to mix pieces from different eclectic collections to form her nursery. The animal heads are very nontraditional but I encrusted them in Swarvoski crystal to girly it up.
 

Hello Again! As if my Wilhelmina’s “Fabulously Theme-less Nursery” wasn’t enough, I decided to go for a “Fabulously Theme-less First Birthday” to celebrate our glorious first 12 months with our girl.  We decided to throw a fairly simple party, on a beautiful November day, in the shade of the trees in our side yard. Our home is right next door to a neighborhood park so it was an ideal location for all of W’s friends to join us for some cupcakes and BBQ and a fun day of playing in the park.
 
 
 

I’ve always envisioned  creating a cozy, safe haven for my baby – hopefully providing a sense of calm that helps her sleep through the nights!

I wanted a vintage look with a modern flair to it, and I wanted to do it within a certain budget.  I love vintage furniture and like to repurpose it to make it look totally different. All the furniture in the room was repurposed, except for the chair. None of the accessories at retail price and was at least 20% off, but most was at least 40% off.

So happy to share with you this fantastic and beautiful baby shower we styled for my friend Ilianetsie’s Baby Shower!  Turns out this will be her third little boy, so we wanted to make something simple but fabulous.  A ladies only brunch with 50 of her closest friends and family.  We went with the hot air balloon theme simply because we’ve never done it before and she seemed like she was on cloud nine with this baby.

We were pretty much in love with the dog “gentlemen” prints the moment we saw them. They inspired the whole nursery! We wanted something colorful, modern, and true to our style. We’re hoping our baby loves dogs as much as we do.

Turtles, Snails, and Alligator Tails are what little boys are made of. And what a fitting theme for my best friend’s baby shower since she was welcoming her THIRD son into the world.

I wanted to create a perfect little nursery space that could grow with my little guy. I created a lumberjack inspired space with both vintage and modern touches. The room was easy and affordable to create. Also my husband is military and we live on base housing so I was limited to what I could do with the space! However I made it work and was pleased with the outcome! More at everythingemilygblog.blogspot.com

I didn’t want a real “themy” nursery and wanted something that would be able to grow with our first baby.  I loved the idea of super bright, almost rainbow colors with a neutral base to complement them.  The wealth of resources on Pinterest made it fun to put the room together, and we actually ended up spending half of what we budgeted for.

Bear started out in the living room of our one-bedroom condo, but soon ended up taking over our bedroom and moving us to the finished basement. Because we’d already made a million changes to our home, I didn’t want to make one more, so repainting our bedroom for Bear was ruled out. Thus, I needed to work with the color of the walls as they were: a deep, vibrant blue. This is the result.

I wanted to have a bright and sunny nursery that would grow with our daughter.

Liv’s Lounge is a whimsy mix of modern and shabby chic. I am all about color, different textures & patterns and unique design. I really wanted her room to be something that will grow with her. I don’t care for baby-ish themes so I just started buying pieces that struck my fancy. Luckily, by accident, everything came together perfectly! I couldn’t be more pleased with the final product!

The theme of the party was vintage airplanes and the color scheme was red, white, blue and navy.

I wanted to use some of the furniture I already had, and painting the crib turned out beter than I could have ever imagined! I love the dark pink accents, and the teal and gray seem to work perfectly together. It’s my favorite room in the house! :-)

Sloane’s nursery is girly, but still sophisticated enough to blend with the rest of our home. It’s a really large room, so we wanted it to double as a guest room and be able to repurpose some of the items down the road. We’re also in a rental apartment, so could only really change the wall color.

When I started to shop for baby bedding, I was struck by how theme-y the sets are. I would find a crib sheet and quilt that I really liked, but was hit over the head with the theme again & again. Curtains, diaper stackers and bumpers, Oh My! All of which, I had no intention of using. So I decided to avoid an overt theme. and instead try to create a space that Baby Q could grow into and make his own. I mean what if I created a baseball nursery and he grew up to hate sports? I know this is maybe silly and maybe even unlikely, but I tried to create a functional and transitional space for my little one with pretty neutral colors and a loose animal theme. Additionally, at my baby shower guests were asked to bring a children’s book instead of a card. The little guy has quite the library, so we wanted a place to store and display his books. The glider now doubles as a space for feeding & reading with all the books easily accessible without even getting up out of the chair. Reading is important to my husband and I so we really want to pass that on.

Happy Birthday Brinlee! I did a Aqua Chevron and Pink Polka dot party for her 1st birthday!
