We wanted our baby’s nursery to be bright, modern, and comfortable. Nothing too girly, but definitely a modern, feminine vibe.

My dear friend was due with a baby girl in December 4 weeks after my due date! When we both found out we were pregnant we automatically wanted to throw each other baby showers. Little did I know that we would be buying a house and moving in 1 week before I was due to throw her shower! So, while my house was sparse, the shower was lovely!

The nursery is designed with a giraffe theme for our new baby, Madeline Esther.

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!

Cade is almost 8 years old, and with friends spending the night more frequently AND a brand new collection from Caden Lane, I thought it was the perfect time to update his room with metal bunks and chevron decor!

She loves pink, black, and turquoise, and so do I!  We have transitioned her nursery decor into a little girl room with not much effort.

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!

To me there is nothing sweeter than an Eskimo kiss shared with my little girl. Her little nose just begs for them. It is this simple gesture of love that has inspired our Valentines Day event this year. We invited a few of her little friends and their moms to celebrate the sweetness with us.
A canvas painted in a soft ombre blush was the backdrop to our dessert table.
“Eskimo kisses” (Hershey Kisses), “Eskimo Pies” (Ice cream sandwiches) and “snowballs” (coconut covered marshmallows), Eskimo cookies and igloo cake pops were set out for the little invitees to enjoy.
The centerpiece, an igloo cake set on a hand-made cake stand spray-painted metallic gold made the party theme come alive.

The little Eskimo Illustration was modeled after one of my favorite winter photos of my daughter all bundled up in her winter coat with just her sweet face peaking out. So cozy and cute!

Hues of blush, gold and aqua came together to create a soft, girly party setting.

Like soft fluffy snowballs, tulle Pom toppers adorn some of our guest treats, and pom wands doubled as centerpieces for the dining table.

The girls enjoyed coloring their Eskimo Printable Color Me page and loved all the sweets!
