a new plan...

So, it turns out that our household will soon grow--we're expecting baby #2 this summer! And he's a boy! Which means will have two little lads (WAY) under two before too long.

I really love how Graham's nursery turned out, but I want this little one to have a space of his own with it's own unique feel. As such, I've started to skim the mags and interwebs for inspiration (yay--a second nursery to design!). And I thought I'd share some cute things that have caught my eye so far. It's early days yet, but it's a start.

Again, early days, but we are headed in a very different direction from nursery #1!

playful pjs

I've been such a delinquent blogger. I have a ton of excuses, of course (baby, back-to-work, family immigration issues...), but that's all they are--excuses. At any rate, I thought I'd try to catch up (or at least get back on track)! So, for starters, here are a few shots of my boy in some pjs I made him. 

The fabric is from spoonflower--a grasshopper + ant pattern and a coordinating stripe (check out the feet) that I had printed on the organic cotton knit. 

  

Our little guy is very comfy in these duds. And the best part? He can't kick the feet off like he does his socks!

nursery feature!

Wow! Our Graham's nursery is now featured on Parenting.com's "Gorgeous Nursery Photos" gallery. I'm really honored to be included with some of my favorite bloggers' nurseries, including Nicole's (Making it Lovely), Caroline's (Armelle), and Jo's (A Cup of Jo). Now that we're expecting baby #2 (yes, already!), I'm scouring the interwebs for inspiration once again. Head on over there and check out some truly beautiful baby spaces!
