Fabric Fridays -- Rickshaw Designs

I'm always on the hunt for beautiful block printed fabric. John Robshaw is one of my favorites! While I was pregnant and desperate for crib bedding I stumbled upon Rickshaw Design and now I'm hooked. I'm completely jealous that she gets to create this unique fabric. I used the udaipur collection in Elle's room. I really wish you could mix and match the collections -- I would have added a few of the lali pieces.

Over the last few years I've been brainstorming a way to display our friends' holiday cards. We all spend so much time searching for the perfect holiday card -- or at least I do -- and most of the time our cards are thrown in a bowl or set on a ledge where they can't stand properly. This year I experimented with a few different displays. I really love how the final one turned out. I used ribbon and paper clips I had laying around the house. It wasn't green or red, but looked cute with all the different colors on the cards. This will definitely be going up next year!

I had to add a pic of our sweet little girl.

Red, White, & Blue Done Right

Red, white, and blue unfortunately can be done so wrong, too "themey" most times. The last thing you want is for a room to look like the 4th of July threw up on it. I've found some beautiful RWB combos done right! Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday weekend!

A Neutral Nursery IS Possible

I have always said that I wouldn't find out the sex of my children while we were pennant. It's definitely easier said then done especially when your husband wants to find out. I had my days when I told myself, forget this I'm finding out! But when it came to the day of the doctors appointment Chase was on board with keeping it a secret, giving me the extra push to stay true and do the same.

Of course in the back of my head was the nursery : ) I came across a posting on House of Turquoise with such beautiful nurseries for everyBaby. My search began for more inspiration and this is where my mind going...

The room is cute, but the letters on wrapping around the room is a must!

This was my original inspiration. The aquas and corals drew me.

This sagey color is number one of my list for wall colors currently. Maybe with a little more gray in it.

Blue Bird

I bought 4 chairs with this same frame. The lady who sold me them seemed quite interesting at first appearance. She has a tea shop on the 4th floor of a building in Chelsea. And by tea shop I mean, TEA shop. This place has thousands and thousands of different teas. After attempting to purchase these chairs I soon found out the crazy inside her! Let's just say it wasn't easy. Always a great story with business : )

I would love to find somebody who needs 4 chairs for a kitchen table -- paint them all white and upholster in coordinating fabrics. This new line of dwell fabric is so beautiful and they all look so great together...

Nursery Finds

Baby White arrival date is quickly approaching! We made the decision to not find out the sex of the baby which makes nursery design a little more challenging. But seeing all the same light blue and light pink out there, I'm kind of glad. Even if I knew what we were having I wouldn't be using baby blue or pink.

Right now I'm envisioning a mostly white room with grays and yellows -- then once the baby is here I'll add corals or turquoises. Check out what I have so far...
