Take a look at these little prints, they are 5×7 size, i’ve had them for 10 years (I know i bought them when still at Baylor so a lonnngg time ago)..i’ve always had them in these little shabby frames (dont you just my 1998 shabby paint job;;) I think i have another nest one but not sure where, i think the bird is from another set..BUT I want to hang three in the nursery (the boy version)..on Laura Ashley Stone 2 walls (think builder beige) would you do choc brown mats and white frames or something different?? and do you think the bird segs with the nest, looks out of place or what?? i could laser copy on of the nest to have three and keep consistent. Crazy to obsess over i know, but if you read this blog you are crazy to care what i post about anyway (or you are just nosy about what dorky things i am talking about and want to make fun of me;;)
and next i will post my sad version of polyvore for this imaginary room..yes that is polka dot dress and would not be used in the boy room (but i have a similar brown check shortall so you get the idea, it also shows how it MIGHT work for a boy)no fancy idea board from this decorator..just a crazy pregnant woman obsessively brainstorming and dreaming.

also notice the fabric under the nest prints, $2.48 tea towel from target (michael graves i think) I am thinking i might use this for a pillow or to cover shades for the light.

also note, i recieved the waverly trellis fabric from fabric.com (had to use that coupon right) and it is different than my sample from Glick in houston..the glick version has brown outlines around the pattern and is more of a grey blue not tiffany..i like the brown detail but the brighter tiffany blue goes with more of the accessories, there are several different blues going on that might not work..but dontyou love the old trunk, it is trash from someone’s garage, totally free.,i love it but it will have to be sealed if used.

    LOVE it all, Holly! I really like the browns & blues, the fabrics and the prints with birds and nests. But most of all I lurrrrrrrve the trunk. It is fab!

    what jean said! and i think the brown mats with white frames will look good…and the bird will be fine with it too ;)

    I think the bird fits right in. I like them framed the way they are, but I’m sure brown mats/white frames would also be lovely. Can’t wait to see this finished nursery!

    You may have seen this site before, but if not, you can save and print any of their images. I am certain you will find a nest you will like!!

    Meant to say – I think the birds and nests go together perfectly!

    I think it’s all more than great.

    Want to complicate your decision? Go to http://www.the-fethered-nest.blogspot.com. You’d like her style. On the right sidebar she has links to free vintage clip art. She also has been regularly sharing from her own collection. Lots of nests, birds. I you have some ivory linen paper and a good printer….. enjoy!
