Grey Likes Baby

For the those NYC dwellers among us who have one room to accomplish many things in, here’s a beautifully done nursery and bedroom that both sleepers would be equally lucky to rest in. Thanks Melissa Hamilton

Here are a few details:
Crib – RH baby & child – craigslist find :)
Crib Bedding – Pottery Barn Kids
Canopy above crib – Bed Bath & Beyond
Changing Table – Chest I found at local store here in Anchorage.
Shelf above crib – Land of nod
Name Blocks – DIY
Armoire – Family Heirloom
Queen Bedding -purchased at local store here in Anchorage

Bunk-beds have come a long ways in the last ten years. They used to terribly small, hideously ugly, and were only used to save space. Now they are the centerpieces of cozy rooms and happy beds that I would be more than happy to move into. It’s seems we have taken what used to be simply a space saver, and made them into beautifully designed, perfectly charming beds.

When sifting through the internet looking for your favorite nursery items that you’re dying to register for, you might discover that most of the best finds can’t be found at the big corporate stores you would register at.  Well…problem solved.  Take a seat on your couch with a tub of ice cream, pop in Father of the Bride 2 and let your fingers do all the baby registry shopping with our Sponsor, Baby List.  Explore all of your favorite items from Target and Baby’s R Us, plus Etsy, unique eco friendly cribs, quirky boutique clothing, beautiful wallpaper, and keep it all in one place for your guests to have easy access to. Your friends will love you since it’s simple for them to put their feet up too and help you accumulate all the beautiful registry items from any and all of your favorite online shops. I made a collage of a few things that I might register for right now, and it’s all from different places..thank goodness for Baby List .

Another perk? BabyList has a new personalized baby registry checklist. You take a quiz about where you live, laundry, budget and parenting plans and get a completely personalized checklist.

I am loving that there are some really fun wallpaper patterns available now, which can absolutely take an average room and make it fabulous. Here is some inspiration for a gold room, and due to my addiction I”m sure I’ll be showing you some more in the near future.

Unfortunatley the polka dot and bedroom photos are from Stella and Henry whose website is no longer available. We would love to know if anyone has any ideas of where to find lovely wallpapers like these ones.
The star wallpaper can be found at houzz.

If you’re looking to add a little life and spunk into your nursery or kids bedroom, a simple way that involves no crafting or painting is to purchase a rug. Rugs are good for bringing the design elements of a room together, adding simple comfort, or creating a focal point for an otherwise neutral room.  Here are some of my favorite rugs, paired with similar rugs that are currently available, and easy on the purse.
