I recently made some custom book ledges for my daughter’s room and both she and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Best of all? They couldn’t have been any easier. Read on to see what a couple of craft boards and some wood glue can get you!
Here is an update on how the nursery came together, with all the linkable sources in one place!
We are into Week 3 of the One Room Challenge where we are turning our guest room into a nursery for our baby girl due in January!
Before we started this Nursery adventure, I had already planned on this week being a bit of an easy one, because we snuck in a little babymoon in Los Angeles! We relaxed, saw some sites, and ate very well! Now, back to the Nursery ORC! Knowing that we were going to be out of town this week, we planned to spend this week placing orders. This way, we could be sure that nothing arrived while we were out of town!
Week 2 of the One Room Challenge is upon us and I’ve been getting. stuff. done. (Or at least as much as my 6-month-pregnant body will allow!
My mind has been on overdrive recently, and as a result, I’ve been revising my original nursery design plan and truly diving into exactly how I envision each piece functioning. First, let’s talk about this pivot in design…
This fall I am transforming one of our guest rooms into a nursery, as Baby Girl is due in January! The overall mood I’m going for in here is elevated neutral with pops of soft color. I’m not looking for an overly baby-themed room…let’s be honest, the baby won’t care what this room looks like! But if I’m going to possibly be spending late nights rocking her to sleep in there, I want it to be pleasing to me and my overall aesthetic! As she gets older and develops her own little personality, I’m sure this room will transform along with her evolving tastes, so I’ll be making design changes with that in mind.
Our trip to Italy was nearly perfect...my one wish? That the weather could have been a tiny bit warmer. Sigh. But that didn't stop us from wandering around and getting our fill of la dolce vita!
I bundled up and put together an outfit of layers that kept me toasty. I felt warm, comfortable, and stylish enough so I don't think I stuck out like a complete American :)
Do you remember the commercial years ago of a little kid the night before his trip to Disney? It contains the tagline that my friends and I still quote to this day: "We're too excited to sleep!"
You guys, this is us right now because we are headed back to Italy this week! And you should follow along on our journey! To say we're excited is an understatement.
So what are the Flâneurs up to the weekend before departure? Well, besides not sleeping, getting prepped! Here are our top steps to getting prepared for departure.
One backpack per person, this should be every serious traveler’s goal, the more stuff you take the more time you spend worrying about said stuff and figuring out how to stow it on planes, buses and trains; don’t do this, just pack less. We’ve already written about our backpack of choice, but the question of what to fill that backpack with still lingers.
Paul laid down the ultimate challenge: we're going to travel across Italy for two-and-a-half weeks with only what can fit in a carry-on. I laughed at first, but looking back at our time in Italy, it was the best decision we could have made.
Our vessel of choice: the Tortuga Travel Backpack...
