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.

frenchie friday: land of nod your head yes . . .

was thrilled to come across this lil guy in the new catalog from my first {and only. obvs.} sponsor, land of nod.

became increasingly excited as i turned every page.  LOVE love it all!  

c & p are beginning to look a bit awk in their toddler beds so the time is coming soon for the real deal version of big girl beds and that means decorating a/multiple BGR{s}!

i'm waiting to see if they want their own rooms or not.  so far one does, one doesn't.  hmph.

anyhoot, here are some of my front runners.

sherbert stripes bedding

in the mix bedding

petit chateau bedding

here are princess p's picks.

fade to pink bedding

tulle and the gang bedding

{while i appreciate the puntastic name- that is not happening under this roof}

and c's choice.  obvs.

yellow animales bedding

chick still worships yellow.

if they decide to be roomies for another few years i think i'll stick with my original . . .

watermelon stripe {seedless}

it's fun and cheerful, like them.

{unless i'm going all MD on them like the greater part of last week's heat wave}

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.
