waiting:)

Benjamin's due date came and went on the 14th without a sign of the little dude. I guess he's super comfortable in there. What he doesn't know is what he's missing out on out here; the fireplace heating the home daily, homemade apple crisp and chicken pot pies, Christmas music being played a bit too early, a snuggly black pup (who seems to think that the nursery was decorated just for her; we've been finding her laying in there almost every morning).... it will be worth the wait for him, we'll make sure of it:).

This first half of November has consisted of hibernating & nesting in our home in the woods. The nursery is coming along nicely. There are a few things missing, including a book shelf that my parents picked up at an antique shop, some photos & artwork for the wall, and of course, the little guy, himself. Here are some photos of the progress to date:

photos taken with love

Happy weekend! I hope that you were all able to enjoy an extra hour of sleep this morning:).

Benjamin's nursery is coming along... there are a few final touches that are needed, which may or may not happen before he decides to grace us with his presence. I wanted to share with you some lovely photos that my oldest & dearest friend, Amber, took to decorate his walls. The rest can be seen here at her blog. They're the perfect blend of retro, fun and little-boy-but-not-overly-so. I love them and know that the little man will too:).

Thanks A:).

nursery ideas from etsy

We're renovating our second floor starting next week to make room for the little one on the way (a yet-to-be-named baby boy:)). For the nursery, I'd like to keep the style simple & clean (something he can grow with), with some vintage accents. I couldn't think of a better place to hunt for this style than etsy. So, perusing I did, and here are some of the items I adore (clockwise from upper left):

** farm animal baby blanket from BubblesandSqueaks; * french market basket from sadieolive; * vintage wooden blocks from sadieolive; * bird clay tag from marleyandlockyer; * grain sack pillow from jillbent; * vintage floral banner from jillbent **

Aren't they adorable?? :)

My plan is for an all white/ beige nursery with the occasional red accent. My mom found a sweet little rocking chair on the side of the road, which we snatched up and I will be painting a fresh coat of red. Once the renovations (on room and furniture) begin, I'll post some photos.

Happy Wednesday:).
