So, the nursery is now painted in cream. The rocking chair is assembled and ready for lulling Baby to sleep. The little lamb swing is set. The crib bedding is ready to go into the crib as soon as we get it assembled. A glaring ommision was that we had no mobile. Since the "Sweet Lambie" bedding is gender neutral and our only splurges in pink have been the pink bins for storing Baby's stuff in the changing table, we decided to get something really sweet for the mobile... I had been eyeing this mobile, and today while I was in Birmingham, I stopped by PBK and picked up two -- one for over the crib and one for over the changing table.
It's not a "nursery" mobile, as you can see from the picture of the little girl's room above, but it is beautiful. These are rare cases where Pottery Barn's pictures do not done their product justice. The butterflies are made from hand-painted feathers. The picture above, as far as I can tell, has four mobiles...there are nine butterflies on each.
And I have booked our maternity photo session for April 5. I'll be 35 weeks then, so I hope I am not too swollen... Check out the photographer's work: Lindsey R Smith Photography. If all goes well, we will have her do all Baby's first year pictures.
Love it!! Love it!! Love it!! Is your mom still doing the mural? Oh how I wish I would have done a few maternity pics..professional that is. Good thinking! If she is good you should see if she can take pics during Baby's 1st week home. Oh how precious!
ReplyDeleteJust as you are finishing up a nursery, I may soon be taking mine done..oh heart ache. How I adore Thurgood's nursery....so much love goes into creating one. Baby is one lucky little girl.
Cheers~

OK..side thought! If I tailored my next project to your butterflies from PB kids...would you let me send it to Baby as a gift? You can hate it and hide it...but my inspiration would be darling with your PB mobile. :) It is KISMET!!

ReplyDeleteWonderful!!! After finals I will swing by PB kids and bring my color wheel for a match up.

I already got the main piece...I can't wait to paint it and get started!

I like the butterflies. I also like the galleries of the photographer. The maternity ones I think are best with both parents. Much cuter. The ice cream and pickles was funny, too. Also, the baby ones are super cute (a few look homely). I like the surprised little flower girl and several of the laying down ones.
