As soon as I found out we were having a girl, I knew I wanted to create a whimsical and feminine room. The Sheepish Collection by Gingiber for The Land of Nod was the very first thing I chose. {I’d fallen in love since the first time I was pregnant.} Some of my favorite details are the world map — a random Home Goods find, the Good Hare Day mirror and the little unicorn, as well as some personal touches like dried flowers from the baby shower on her nightstand and the painting my sister made {which was designed after the baby shower invitations}. I also wanted to ensure that our pup, Penelope, always feels like she has a place in our family, so I made sure the room had a spot for her too. While I’m still hoping to get a Horrible Adorable in there somewhere, I love the serene setting we’ve created. {A big thank you to the Mr. who painstakingly stenciled the walls as I was too pregnant to do so}. While I look forward to watching her grow up and develop her own taste and personality, I hope that one day she’ll look back and love her little nursery as much as I do.
Thank you to our friend and photographer, Lulu {Photos by Lulu}, for photographing her room for us!
{These paper flowers from Target add a sweet touch to the door of her room.}
{A photo of the first time I held her.}
{My mom had flowers sent to the hospital when she was born. The arrangement came with this adorable sheep.}
{Flowers from the baby shower.}
{This shelf holds some of my favorite items: a whimsical unicorn and doll; a postcard by one of my favorite artists; a painting my sister made for me, modeled after the baby shower invitations; and a bunny that her Daddy and I bought for her on Valentine’s Day, a month before she was born.}
{I love that the Gingiber collection includes a black sheep.}
{These baskets were another random Home Goods find, which happened to match perfectly with her room and have been a real life saver for organizing. Her room and closet are small, so we’ve had to make the most of every space.}
{ If you like any of the items pictured, you can shop them here.}
There’s been a serious shortage of posts this week, I know. Truth be told, I haven’t felt inspired to write about anything. Sometimes I spend all my “blogging time” visiting my favorite sites and soaking them in for inspiration! Though my blog roll (on the right side of my page) is home to most of my favorites, here are a few I’m particularly loving as of late. Some are new discoveries, others I’ve been visiting for years, but they’re all worth a peek!
Oh hey, beck
