:: wallpaper y'all, WALLPAPER::


I am back on girl nursery ideas this week…there is no reason, I still dont know for certain what I am having (will know in three weeks hopefully) and I really do feel like it is another boy (and i love that idea) BUTTTT I realized today, “OMG if it is a GIRL we could do WALLPAPER”..I love wallpaper, we have just a tad bit in our bathroom but my husband is really good at the wallpaper thing and the room is super tiny…. SO I found a few “ideas”..I know i also said “red for a girl with not much pink” but notice all of the loud pink wallpapers (imagine with white furniture and plain white linen crib bedding, maybe one big monogram somewhere)..must be the hormones. One part of me says “this poor little house cant handle too much pink or another pattern” but another part of me says “go whole hog, more is more and pattern and color on the walls of a tiny room is just always good.” We’ll see. Poor Daddy!

I am also sentimental because I had wallpaper in my room when I was a little girl, yellow check (can we say late 1970s) and later, a dark navy with little pink flowers. And my dad hung it and it just a sweet memory, made me feel very girl and special to have wallaper in my room.

So here are a few samples..none are expensive, I intentinally stayed away from Colefax, Nina C, etc.. any books or sites that you love for wallpaper???

Enjoy!

::more red::



with brown, always a good combo..and more childrens rooms/stuff, always on my mind these days;;…images are courtesy of Serena and Lily.

::i *heart* red::




I *heart* this mobile..on sale at Pottery Barn Kids! and of course this red letter hung on a wall done in my beloved chalkboard paint..and still loving this trenna lange room done with touches of red..hmmm, you think the new nursery will have red????

[edited to say]..the red letter picture is from blue castle..she has a lot of cute, very budget friendly ideas..

::antique bed pictures::



here are some pictures of the bed I mentioned..again it is ivory, has the thick powder coat finish, some chips but they add character, that has never bothered me, the original rails and new sturdy slats..it is very heavy and turn of the century
**email me for price and questions about delivery**

:: Domino alert::

I just heard that Conde Nast has announced that are ceasing publication of DOMINO. I am saddened and a little shocked.. I thought for sure Domino would survive but I guess not. Do yall think this is because of the economy or the internet?? Read about it here.

and Target is laying off at least 1500 employees.. times are tough.

::for sale::

::name update::

I guess we have the same taste in things other than decorating..because yall mentioned several of the names we are considering..like the top ones: Caroline (my all time fave girl name), Grace, Henry (so glad yall love it because most people i mention it to do NOT get it..they think it is some weird old name Drew came up with) and someone even mentioned RHYS and spelled it the way my husband wants to spell it (OK I am not nuts about the welsh spelling but i like the name)..thanks for making emotional tired pregnant woman feel better about names;;
