Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top...

I haven't posted on here in a long time, I know. I'm just sooo tired these days! But I have a new burst of energy as we continue to work on Baby E's nursery. (I believe they call it "nesting"--although the urge to clean, clean, clean hasn't struck yet-- to Matt's dismay.)  The room is really coming along and is looking really adorable, if I do say so myself. All we need now is the sweet little baby. (And the rug to come in... ) The rug didn't work! Cute in person... wrong color!

We've found the cutest artwork on Etsy. First---we used this french alphabet poster as a jumping off point for her colors.

from Bibitty on Etsy.com

With black and white and pink bedding... we needed a way to introduce other colors. So the pastels in the poster tied it all in. We framed it with a black frame and now it really pops off the pink walls!

This is her bedding. Don't worry we didn't use all NINE pieces... hello, matchy-matchy!


We used the blue in the "?" in the french poster to paint a bookcase my mom and I found at an antique shop. It adds so much!


To tie in the pastels again... we ordered several prints from Trafalgar's Square, another Etsy seller.

I LOVE these and can't wait to get them in!

I think they will add just the right touch of baby "whimsy" to the room but keep the vintage-y look I love!
