A little sneak peek of the baby’s nursery! This weekend I finished organizing and did a few DIYs…can’t wait to share the whole thing. See the post of my moodboard here.
Thought I would share my moodboard I made for the baby’s nursery. Made a little impulse buy as I was searching for images…it was so perfect for his room, I just had to. Excited for it to show up on my doorstep!
HAPPY FRIDAY! xo

These kite valentines have got to be the sweetest. Eva of Misako Mimoko has handmade these one-of-a-kind greetings with a vintage fabrics and felt. Hand-painted faces and ‘Happy Valentine’ is embroidered on the back. Even though they may not be suitable for children to play with, they would still make perfect decorations.

The nursery! Agh…if this baby arrives as early as Jax did, that means I only have 9 weeks to go. Woah. I’ve gotta get this little guy’s home ready! Inspired by the rooms above…I know what color I want to paint the walls and what I want the curtains to look like. But the floor…I hate it! I just want to rip it up and paint the hardwood white! Why don’t I? Well, I’ve asked my husband so many times. No, everytime. It’s pretty damaged, so my solution is to get an awesome rug and I will be happy. I love this citrine stripe rug, but my budget is limited. I will have to try this DIY tutorial…seems pretty easy. So much to do…

The holidays are coming so quickly…I can’t believe that tomorrow is already Thanksgiving. I just wanted to share my sister Sarah’s new business, Modern Core. An organization and interior design business that focuses on helping others learn how to effectively organize and design their spaces. Visit her blog for tips, diy projects and more.
She also has a new shop too! She is selling modern wooden trees in three different colors (small natural tree is shown above) and handmade ornaments made from vintage rulers.
Matte Stephens is a super talented artist from Portland. I can’t believe I am just now discovering his work. The geometric shapes, the colors, cameras, arrows…it’s so pleasant and humorous all at the same time. I just love it. I’m thinking about ordering a print from his shop…could quite possibly be my inspiration piece for the baby’s nursery.

As I was researching ideas for the baby’s nursery, I came across this modular children’s bed inspired by treehouses by Aalto + Aalto. Even though our little ones will have separate rooms, I still think this room is brilliant for toddlers. I love the color palette, the way the walls are painted and the lovely artwork by Darling Clementine.
Have you seen these new papier-mâché animal heads from Dwell Studio? They make me chuckle because I actually made one in high school…it was a black and white zebra head. Crazy! Wish I had a photo to show you.
Fact: The literal translation of the French term “papier-mâché” is “chewed paper.
This weeks Etsy discovery…Epiphanys Corner, owned by stay at home mom, Krystal from Spokane, WA. I like her hand painted, canvas signs, especially this one above. She also painted one that said ‘No more monkeys jumping on the bed’…ha!
Look at this! Designer Jason Gomez created this awesome alphabet installation for his new baby girl’s nursery. I love the colors, the pattern and all the different letters. My favorite is the…well I really can’t choose just one, they are all lovely! This makes me want to do a little canvas series for Jax’s room.
