baby t

coming together

So we are finally settling into our new apartment and Asa's room is coming together. I painted the accent wall a deep bluish-gray and kept the trim and other walls a bright white.

We've decided on this simple crib from Ikea that I'm happy to report, is incredibly affordable! I scoured the internet for reviews and also asked around and to my surprise, Ikea cribs came out on top. I adore the modern design and I think it will look great against the gray wall.

I love the bright colors in this poster from DEUZ. I'm not sure I will purchase it (you can here for around $40) but I will definitely look for similar artwork. 

We picked up a red dog booty hook from Ikea because we basically could not pass it up. It looks super funny against the gray wall and we may get a few more. We shall see what we need.

I am enamored with this growth chart. What a genius concept! The etsy shop is sold out and will restock on the 20th, so depending on the price this may or may not be added to his room. I definitely like the idea, though.

And lastly, these Kid O nesting cups would look super cute on a shelf in his room and be lots of fun down the line. And for $10 I think they'd be worth it.

So I guess you could say I've been nesting, huh?

so much love

 

I am totally smitten with Shanna Murray's new line of decals.

They seriously make me cry tears of joy! Ah...gotta love those pregnancy hormones.

I adore the sentiments and the handwritten feel of them. And I also love how affordable and removable they are. Perfect for us apartment dwellers.

I think that little Asa needs the ones shown above for his room.

(Did I just say our baby's name? Well, we are trying out Asa for now. So far, it seems to fit him.)

Have a lovely day, people. 

I want more more less

So Marie Gardeski, the woman behind plastic foliage and the wonderful clothing line-more less has started making kid's clothes!

I am in LOVE with them! I adore the way she mixes patterns and stripes. I cannot wait until she stocks them in her shop. You can follow her adventures here at her blog.

(Two posts in one day? Yeah, I'm crazy.)

a place of his own

I know it's a few years away, but I cannot wait until Baby T is old enough to have a little play place of his own. Isn't the playhouse above dreamy? I adore it-in fact, I kinda want to live there!

Gowing up my siblings and I were lucky enough to have a fort out back that my Dad built for us. It had a ladder that pulled up like a drawbridge, a slide, a bar to swing on and a sandbox underneath. We spent our days out back, hanging out in our own little place. 

Did you have a playhouse? What was it like?
