BGR progress

so how am i doing?  new year's day post = FAIL.  and since i'm not using excuses anymore, i can't tell you why.   then i will have broken the only two publicly declared resolutions by day 2.  unacceptable.

i will offer up that we are finally taking the plunge on the big girl room!  the beds are being delivered next week and there is no turning back now.

we went with the land of nod beds i've been eyeing for quite some time and here are a few other goodies.  i'm exhausted from attempting to use photoshop for the first time in very long time. rusty?  understatement.  sort of embarrassed to even post this but it took me about 127 minutes so it's happening.  

{hey CK, i need a refresher, sister!}

1. the bob just had to send me the link to these serena & lily french tassel window panels.

2. it's really a lot harder than it should be to find adorbs little girl bedding.  but here's the front runner from dwellstudio.  totes not sold on this but i do think it's cute for a 4 year old . . . or two.  thoughts?

3.  the azure jenny lind land of nod twin beds .  done deal.  

4. creepy dog lady got a new picture frame from o'brien & schridde. holla! 

keep in mind, i'm moving them back to their original nursery where we just had all the fun with meredith and the confetti.  so we already have the striped wallpaper in that room.  CBC has made it very clear that we will not be taking down any wallpaper that i begged and pleaded for in the first place or painting. anything. ever.  such a horse's face sometimes. 

{oh and yes that's another aqua bed in the picture, because every family needs at least 3}

i truly welcome your feedback, unless it's bad. obvs.

land of nod your head YES . . .

so after hemming and hawing over whether or not to by c & p "real" big girl beds or faux {toddler beds} i decided to buy some toddler beds for a myriad of reasons.  one of which was that i could not find the twin beds that i was looking for.  another being i wasn't sure if they'd be annoying the shiz out of each other in a couple years and want their own rooms.  {highly unlikely given the amount of mischief they are enjoying together currently}

and then, low and behold, a mere two weeks later, my land of nod catalog arrives and it's finally offering the jenny lind twin bed in colors.  wor-ship.

totes j'adore.

i am very happy i didn't purchase them in white like i was considering.  meanwhile, the girls are already quite settled with their jenny lind toddler beds which i am pleased with given the reasonable price tag.   {look lame in pic but obvs i don't have that cheesy bedding on them}

this new offering gives me some time to plan a proper big girl room.  raspberry or azure?  or maybe they'll even offer more colors by the time we are ready to commit.  this is good stuff.  nice work, land of nod.

the catalog had a few other pleasant surprises, too - like this bedding.

notice it has a pink and yellow stripe. . . hmmmm.  wheels are turning.

and these adorbs chairs.

precious.

and these fabulous rugs.

love.

later PBK.

we are rocking a similar color palate in c & p's room.  have been thinking about their new BGR - was going to stick with the color scheme - partially because it wasn't that long ago that CBC painted their ceiling a deep aqua - and largely due to the acquisition of this garland that we bought for baby june's sip & see.  i justified this purchase because i thought i could use in c & p's room for years to come.

{in a rando small world story - Lou's fabulous tinkerbell birthday party was featured on amy atlas the very same day as june's sip & see.}

 
remember these gorge images meredith took?

well, maybe i should frame one because yesterday while i was professing my love for kate middleton- 

this happened.

womp womp womp.

and it wasn't george!  it was C.

major BGR setback.

 might leave them in cribs forevah.

anyhoot, i worship Lou's room.  hey krista from kiki's list - you nailed it!
