Putting it all together

Now that the guest room/office is set up, we've started in on the nursery. During last weekend's visit, the Breclaw grandparent duo assembled our Baby Mod Parklane crib and Ikea MALM dresser, which will double as a changing table. Both pieces look great. Fresh, clean white and simple lines.


 

We're going to stay with yellow as our primary color but are painting the built-in shelves a soft grey. Will launched in on that this week. I helped a little. But mostly wrangled dogs, fetched smoked almonds and Summer Shandy, and adjusted lights between updating Enlarging Marge posts.

My mom sent down a sample bird, since she's offered to tackle the mobile project (with Bob's help on the balancing). I love it. We'll use collar and crib skirt scraps for the remainder of the flyers.

Things are coming along. Now I just need to figure out if I want to add grey to any of the walls. What to do, what to do... Decisions are NOT my strong suit at the moment (and by moment I mean the last 8 months).

Mobile obsession

Growing up, Uncle Pete and I shared a room. We always had fashionable Marimekko sheets and super rad mobiles. Of the latter, my favorite was a black fish one Peter got when we were granted separate rooms. Though I had the lakeview, the mobile brought on some serious sibling jealousy.

So of course, I want a super rad mobile for Baby S's room. Searching online I found this craft project. Not sure I'm ready to tackle something so sew-orientated only weeks after stepping back from the collar business, but it is SEW tempting. Etsy searches have uncovered some like-products, but not quite the "special" mobile I was hoping for.


Can I create a craft registry? And specify the fabrics I want the birds to be? Anyone?
