the nursery

*WARNING* i could talk about this room for days. if design bores you (or random details you never cared to know) feel free to skip this post. really. SERIOUSLY. it won't hurt my feelngs.


we went with a pale yellow on all the walls & then my mom & i painted BRIGHT shiny yellow bubbles all over the room. it's subtle but really FUN. her crib is HUGE & sturdy & wonderful! the bedding is my favorite with toile, polka dots, stripes, & the SOFTEST minky fabric in black & white. the glider was a matching phenomenon & i am in LOVE with it & use it multiple times a day. that was my parents gift to us for becoming parents. the picture is a canvas print of ellery on her blessing day.

simple ikea dresser with FUNKY anthro knobs that are my latest obsession. the lining is randomly yellow pin stripes, so i get excited every time i open her drawers! yay! the mackenzie-childs lamp was the big splurge in the room but it is SUBLIME! there's a jar full of black & white & yellow buttons next to it. the personalized growth chart hanging to the side is from a lady in our old stake. her daughter was one of my girl's camp girls & she helped her mom make the matching stool that fits perfectly & is ADORABLE! both have a little girl with a yellow outfit & bees swirling around her. sounds terrifying when i word it like that. :) she left it on my porch when i was expecting. such a cutie!

i painted the piggy bank @ petroglyph downtown los gatos with my mom & steph late last year & really like how it turned out. the eyelashes could have taken me DAYS i was so nervous. haha! the sheep was one of our first purchases for ellery while we were in england so she'll know she was with us & we thought TONS about her before she was here. he's holding a sign that says "cute as a 'bundt'on" from the bundt cake @ her cord party. the E frame is in a shadow box & is SUPER cute with ribbons & metal rivets & stamps & a GIANT paper clip & a bunch of fun paper. it says homegrown & sweet little baby. cheesey but i likey. it took my mom & me surprisingly HOURS. my most recent project is the parasol over the crib. i don't quite know where i come up with this stuff sometimes. my, you guessed it, mom & i haphazardly hung thick & thin GORGEOUS ribbons from a black paper parasol so it would drape like a may pole. i love that it hangs on an angle. ellery stares @ it & babbles @ it night & day.

we got the flower pic as a gift when we got married. it's mostly black & white but the flower does have a yellow TINT, obviously meant for this room. it reads "trust in the lord with all your heart". i got the circle mirrors @ target and placed them all over to play off the yellow bubbles on the walls. the baskets hold toys, books, diapers, & her hamper. INGENIOUS.

long, LONG, LOOONG story short i love her nursery. THANK YOU mamasita for ALL your help!!! & hopefully when kid #2 comes along, all i'll have to do is change the yellow out & vwalaa! whatcha think?
