House of Hydrangeas

Me and my mom are heading down to visit my sister this weekend and help her get the nursery organized and put together.  Jon will be heading down with us as well, but he and the boys will be heading to a football game while we play design :)  With the exception of her Little Castle glider, Meredith has just about everything she needs to put the finishing touches on Cohen's nursery.  The glider should arrive sometime in the next two weeks, but until then, we'll try to knock out everything else.  I'm exciting to see it all in person and help her get just the right look for baby Cohen's room. Since we're heading out of town, I decided to look up the Craigslist ads in Mer's area just for fun last night to see what they had to offer.  Much to my surprise, I saw two wonderful finds. The first find are these factory carts. (Please excuse the picture quality on these...you know how Craigslist is).  The asking price for these carts is only $165.  You may ...

Well friends, all of the major work in Cohen's nursery is complete! The stripes are up and now the crown molding is in.  I think it looks great! Now with all of the painting out of the way, it's time to start bringing in some furniture!  As you may have noticed, his bed has now made an appearance.  I love the dark wood contrasted with the gray and white stripes.  Contrast is key. The following items have also arrived but have not yet been placed in the room: Navy Stripe Harper bumper and skirt from Pottery Barn We're going to use a plain white sheet and monogram his initials in navy. Rugby Stripe Bins from The Container Store These will be perfect for holding toys! Giraffe bust from Anthropologie Also on order is glider by Little Castle It's all starting to come together!  I'll be back with more updates as they occur.
