Baby Time!

I must apologize for being offline for so long.  For those of you who know me personally, I took some much needed time off.  However, I'm back and refreshed!

Seems like everyone is having babies this summer.  I am dedicating this posting to my dear friends, Michelle and Jack.  They are expecting their first child and also just bought their first home.  Hopefully, this will give them some ideas as to how to decorate the baby's room in their brand new house.

This look isn't for everyone.  However, if you want your nursery to scream Old World Elegance rather than something more conventional say...Winnie the Pooh, then the over the top custom cribs and heavy silk dust ruffles could work for you.  I do love the double faced silk canopies hanging over the cribs!!

I love this modern room with oversize lettering on the wall.  How chic!

Not all cribs have to be black, white or brown.  This yellow crib gives such a nice and sunny contrast to the sea foam walls.

Neutral doesn't have to be boring.  Make sure you make up for the lack of color by layering on different textures to add interest.  Having a crystal chandelier definitely adds bling to this room!

What I like about this room is the wainscoting.  Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, it is also highly practical.  Once your baby starts crawling or walking, there will be palm prints everywhere!  A wainscoting painted in a satin finish makes cleaning a breeze.  It also makes this small room look a bit roomier, don't you think?

Pink can easily look washed out after a while.  Brown is my favorite color to anchor baby pinks and baby blues.

A comfy, plush chair for feeding and reading is a must in every nursery!  Why go for a solid fabric when you can have so much fun with polka dots?
