We will only be in this house for a few months before moving, but a few months is a long time in an infant's life (mainly because they work on a 24 hour a day clock) and how can I control my nesting without a room to fuss in? So here is the beginning of the baby's storybook montage room.
The watercolors were favorites from the batch made by my mom for Aiden's birthday party (Thanks Momo!). The slanted wall has a cherry blossom bird decal (easily removable) which is a nod to our move to DC, the land of the cherry blossom trees. We will likely miss the trees this year, but right around the baby's first birthday you better bet we will be soaking in the Cherry Blossom Festival.
J lovingly painted the walls while we were away enjoying the sun in Florida. They are supposed to be a bit greyer, but they do look warmed up a bit from the white primer we had on there for ages. I think the blue trim and doors will work especially since I had that fabric that blends it all together. The next step is to figure out what sort of mobile I want to hang from the very conveniently located hook right above the crib spot which was installed by the previous owners. I finished the quilt I'd started before the holidays from Aiden's old duds, thanks to fabric/blankets my mom bought me for christmas.

ooo, I like the bird decal
Thanks - truth be told it was on super sale on Amazon for $9! Can't beat that - you can search for bird decal and it pops up.
ooh! i like the decal too! looks great lauren! wish i coud sneak out for a quick trip to do some painting:)
Thanks E! That was so much fun in Aiden's room - I already have plans to trace the hippos, because I hate the idea of leaving them behind. I found that library book you used as inspiration the other day and I just had to buy it! Thanks so much for doing that -oh-so-long-ago!
The room looks great. The decal is a great idea. My favorite watercolor was Make Way for Ducklings, but the ones you chose look better together as a trio. Watch tomorrow for Rock Dog and Company to arrive!
I love the Ducklings too - I need to get them in a smaller frame and I can put them on the side by the closet. Still plenty of fun stuff to put up - I have to spread out the excitement ;) Ooh, rock dog will be landing soon... Thanks!
What a lovely little room! Wish we could see it :( The decal is adorable though and how neat that it too can make the move to DC!
You'll just have to come see the new nursery in DC ;)
