We’ve been doing much feathering of the nest as of late in preparation of our expanding fam. With Barrett’s {You’re my Boy} Blue Room mostly complete, we’ve moved on to gear up for Grin. I’ve also been spending time reconfiguring kitchen cabinets, stocking the pantry, rearranging the roost and am in full-baby-welcome-wagon mode. Should Family Radio have only been off by a week or two, our house will be ready for whatever comes our way.
Adam and I agreed that we should mix it up a little for our newest addition {So as not to confuse Barrett and to make it Grin’s special space} and so, we moved the furniture from the layout we used for Barrett’s boudoir to a new configuration. We couldn’t get too wild. The room is not that roomy. We did, however, keep the green stripes… because much like when we {ahem.} painted it originally, going green is all the rage.
{Rock-A-Bye. This chair continues to be one of my fave furniture purchases eva.
It’s comfy. It’s compact and the black and white base rarely shows a thing.}
{New home for our classic crib.
The cute-as-can-be baby wall hangings were given to us by Gma E post Barrett’s birth.
They were crafted by a quite creative classmate of mine who will forever be known as Jamie O.}
{Though the bare necessities remain from Barrett, we have been purchasing a few new finds here and there. Included in our recent pick-me-ups, a 1-2-3 Ultimate Swaddle Blankie (we borrowed one the first 7 months of B’s life. LIFESAVER.)
and a few pieces of clothing for our peanut.}
{The lamp… our inspiration for the first Brehm nursery.
The wall art… such perfectly pointed words… }
{Among the purchases… new freshly laundered burp cloths. I must admit… I had to throw Barrett’s away. After months of seeing them everywhere, I actually wanted to burn them. But I resisted. And now, we have bought an entirely new supply. I am secretly hoping that this basket will soon be filled with those pretty little designer cloths that are meant to just look cute. Hey, a girl can dream.}
{Barrett was gifted a similar Blankie in brown by a few of my CFF board members. He still snuggles with it each night in his slumber. We purchased this for baby Grin in Grey and I heart it. I am thinking I may bite the bullet for the biggie later on…}
{Newborn neutrals=washed and ready to wear}
{Another necessity – imo – Sophie – or as we call her, Suze.
We love Suze and she was a sure thing with Baby B. So, Grin gets his/her own giraffe}
We still have a few projects in Grin’s Green Room {a photo project, getting out the baby toys} but for now, we are feeling pretty prepared for our peanut. What finds do you feel you can’t live without?? I’d love to hear… please share!
