Nursery Gallery Wall

DSC_0445I absolutely love gallery walls – we now have them in three rooms of the house. I had been pining a few prints here and there for Isla’s room and recently pulled the trigger on all of them. I wanted to add some color to the very monochromatic room (lots of gold, cream beige, white), but didn’t want anything too bold. After buying the prints, I spent a few weeks scouring frames, then spent last Sunday cutting out kraft paper versions of the frames and arranging and rearranging them on the wall. The whole process takes quite awhile, but it’s totally worth it. I have some space on the left and right to expand the collection if desired!

Do you have a gallery wall in your house?

Pop-Up Birth Announcement

I’m always on the look-out for a creative baby announcement idea, and absolutely love these pop-up baby boy ones by Atheneum Creative. My love of these unique cards is enhanced by my obsessed with elephants (see evidence here). I have no idea how one goes about designing a pop-up card – that’s why I’d love it to the pros. What a cute way to announce a little baby boy to the world! What do you think about these cards?

West Elm Graham Glider

Deciding on the baby glider or recliner is a big decision – as new moms, we’re about to spend a lot of time nursing there, as well as many years to come reading our little ones stories on the chair at night. Sasha and I looked at Pottery Barn Kids, RH Baby and Child, Land of Nod, Serena and Lily – we liked a lot of the chairs, but none of them seemed just right for our house/Isla’s room. I saw the Graham Glider online at West Elm and loved it, but wasn’t convinced until 1) my good friend, Mara, told me that they had just bought it, and 2) we both sat in in and decided it was “the one.” We ordered the Pebble Weave chair in Oatmeal, as well as the matching ottoman. We were told that they take 8-10 weeks to arrive (ours came in 7!). It arrived on Saturday, and I seriously could not be more pleased. Pictures below!

Chartreuse Baby Boy Announcement

Oh my sweet baby boy. These chartreuse announcements by Maison Yellow on Oh So Beautiful Paper are so darn cute. I’m especially obsessed with the envelope liner – how perfect is that? And the twine… and that cute little baby! I am envisioning the pink version of this and loving it. “Hi there, I’m Beck.” Melt.

Simple, Clean Birth Announcement

Simple, clean black and white letterpress birth announcements? Swoon. And that name? Totally besides the point, but Jackson Dixon is so southern and absolutely precious (as is his cute little face!). I saw these announcements on Oh So Beautiful Paper by Lauren Chism and love them. The black-and-white makes them very classic – almost newspaper-esque (like these). What do you think? Too simple? Or simply perfect?
