Isla’s Newborn Photos by Taylor Lord

When the doorbell rang yesterday, and Sasha came into the living room with a package, I freaked out. Isla’s newborn photos had arrived from Taylor Lord. We opened them, read Taylor’s sweet letter and immediately started looking at each photo, one by one. I love them so much. Taylor captured our happiness and Isla’s sweetness perfectly. I am absolutely terrible at editing down photos, so pardon the large number of pictures in this post, but I had to share my favorites. I love this little girl so much, and I am so happy that the Lord blessed Taylor with such an incredible talent. View Taylor’s website here and her blog here. View details about Isla’s nursery here.

PS We took these over a month ago – Isla is so much bigger by now! It’s crazy how fast they grow.

Oh, and the Trumpette giveaway ends tonight at midnight! Enter here to win a free set of adorable socks!

Gold Striped Walls

I love interior design, which you’ll know if you’ve been following along for awhile now. I am currently planning a nursery for our baby girl who will be born on June 4. We recently ordered our crib (Babyletto Mercer in all white) and bought the rug for the room (Pottery Barn Henley Rug in Ivory), so all that’s left is the rocking chair and ottoman. And, of course, the wall color. This is the biggest decision and I am so torn. I go back and forth between Rifle Paper Co. wall paper dreams, solid cream, gold wall paper, or gold and white painted stripes. I am very, very inspired by this last option, but I’m not sure this is the option we’ll go with. I’m sharing some of my favorite gold striped walls – what do you think? Appropriate for a baby room or too old? My main concern is having lots of frames hanging against the stripes and it seeming off balanced. Decisions, decisions!

Polka Dot Nursery

I have been browsing through Grey Likes Baby recently (of course), and I found this fun polka dot room, which I love! I saw similar gold dot decals at Land of Nod, and thought about doing a Taylor Sterling-esque room (see first picture below) for our baby girl, but Sasha thinks it’s too grown up for a nursery. I love the bookshelves, the animal hooks, the gold end table, and the gorgeous lamp. Great details! I prefer this golden nursery, but there are a lot of great elements in the room below.

I’ve made quite a bit of progress on the nursery so far – crib is ordered, dresser is built, bar cart (yes, I’m crazy) is filled with baby goodies, the canopy is in! I’ve still got to buy two bookshelves, the rugs, and our chair + ottoman. I’m going to wait until we decide on a wall color before we make rug and bedding decisions. Rifle Paper Co. announced that they’re bringing out a line of wall paper in the Spring – hopefully before June! I’d die for some Rifle floral walls.

Golden Nursery

In browsing for nursery ideas, I came across this gorgeous golden haven at On To Baby. I love the chevron wall, the Imogen Rifle Paper Co. letters, the golden bows on the curtains, and all the little decorative pieces. My older sister prefers brightly colored nurseries, whereas I lean toward simple, elegant design. What do you think?
