Furniture that can grow up with your kid - part 1

Ok, now that the 'tour' of my Winter Blues home is done. I've got Nursery in my mind lately.

And with that,  I've been "Screen Shopping" for furniture and decorative items that can go in that special room.

For one thing, there's a lot of great pieces out there now, definitely pieces that can easily grow with your child and better yet, go anywhere in your home!

One of the stores I love is LAND OF NOD...

Campaign Dresser

Campaign Desk

Now You See It Acrylic Bookcase

Andersen Dresser

Campaign Nightstand

As You Wish Settee

Circulation Chest

Color Weave Toy Box

Do you see the versatility of these pieces? Gone are the days of  Car beds and Castle cabinets 

(well,  maybe not yet),  and kid furniture are now more practical and definitely more beautiful!

What do you think? Which one is your favorite and where will you put it or how will you use it?

Have A Great Weekend!

Winter Blues in the Living Room

I hope you all had  a wonderful weekend everyone!

Today is the last day of this "Winter Blues Series", I hope you enjoyed the last two since this one is the 'less blue' of all. Actually, I have more jewel tones in this room than in any other.

The house looks almost empty post-holiday doesn't it? But also feels more relaxing.

As always, it starts with the pillow change. These 2 - the denim and the country toile are both from IKEA I bought about a year ago but only got to use only now. I also switched back the lamps.

Coffee table didn't change much. Just added my amber grapes for the Christmas beads and added all the brass.

Brass galore on the piano

I think my pair of KERRY STEELE watercolors look perfect with all the brass along with the greens in my orchids.

Aisian-inspired console

I planted some Amaryllis which hasn't bloomed yet, so I placed my faux ones here first.

My Mantel is simple but I love how the painting captures all the colors in our living room

More Jewel tones here

The throw is a gift from my friend Grace.

Do you see Sophia's Playpen peaking behind? I need fix that area fast before she starts crawling around.

That's all folks! Thank you so much for following along!

Have a Great Week!

Winter Blues in the Master Bedroom/Nursery

So, to continue on with my "WINTER BLUES" Series,
I just wanted to share with your our Master Bedroom/ Nursery.

Yup, we're still sharing our room with Sophia

I know, it's about time for Sophia to move into her own room, and believe me I hope it will happen soon too . She is 3 months old now and pretty soon would really need to move to her nursery, so hopefully I will have the time to get it started soon!

Anyway, I thought I'd share this with you because it goes with my series!

The Changing area

This area obviously hasn't changed much.

I love this Meadow Pattern from Dwell Studio for the changing pad cover

I did change up the decor on the shelves and as you can see, she has her shoes instead of socks on the shelves (sniff, sniff, growing up too fast ;-(  )

Our ribbons are too many already and so I had to transfer them to this PLASTIC
Candy Jar (one of  the ones from Sophia's Baptismal Candy buffet)

I also added these 2 cute brass bears I scored more than a year ago.

Sophia's stuff crowding even the mantel and the dresser

I just changed our bedding to match Sophia's bedding. This duvet cover  is from TAHARI Home.

This is what the 'Feeding" side table now

Yup, I stopped breast feeding already. A lot of factors on this, luckily she's ok with the formula.

Our Giraffe has a friend now! A gift from one of Sophia's Godmother
I also added monogram on all her towels

Here's my little cutie pie making our Meadow Crib sheet even more beautiful.
The puppy dog pillow is from H & M home.

I change my curtains to this blue too - scored this from TARGET years ago

This little one is surely getting more and more stuff the older she gets. Hopefully I can fix her nursery real soon. In the meantime, we are truly ALL wrapped up around her tiny little finger!

And Mommy's girl too!

Have a Wonderful Weekend!
