Guest Post - Bebe, Bebe, Bebe Nursery...and a New Series for B&B

No you're not seeing things...this is not a Baby, Baby, Baby Nursery post (note that the title is in pink;)

Instead, I'm thrilled to be kicking of some nursery board extravaganza action that's happening over at Fieldstone Hill Design.

As you might now, Ms. Darlene is expecting a sweet baby girl and is inviting blogger friends over to design up some spaces, in a series she's calling...

Bebe bebe bebe nursery series

I am so so honoured that she asked me to start off the fun...designing little girl rooms is about as good as it gets in my books so I couldn't wait to put something together for her.

I decided to follow suit with the feel and mood of Jasper's room, since I just finished that one off and am all about warm neutrals these days.

So...if you'd like to see how things like little animal treasures...

Pair of  Regency Italian Ceramic Cockatoos

Soft Toy Bear Daria  -  Stuffed  Animal - Artist Teddy Bears

Curtis Jere Brass Butterfly Sculpture.

 ...got thrown together in a room...clickski HERE.

And speaking of new series, I've got one of my own starting up tomorrow so make sure you check back...the dream house MIGHT be back on the table so I'm going to blog that shit up in something I'll call...

...even if we don't build this place, it will be fun to talk/dream/plot about the whole thing.

PS..wish my DNA didn't make me a total chicken shitter in the risk taking department...paralyzed with fear about this possibility.

If You Want It, Black Rooster It...#3

It's time for this goodness...


...so let's get right to it.

Today, I've taken this delicious dining room mix...


...because it so perfectly combines traditional with modern...I'm also a large fan of the play with proportion...that giant shell on top of the table is perfect.

And since Black Rooster Decor is sooooo good at providing us shoppers with everything needed to put such a look together, re-creating inspiration space is a breeze...


Pretty darn close no?

To buy this mixology loveliness up, go here:









Later alligator shoppers.

Weekend and Randomness

So it was a long weekend here...but not for me...hubs is away AGAIN on business and poor guy had to go here...


The teenager is also really hard done by and has found herself here...


And me...I'm home...going no where fast.

Arg.

Thankfully, we did enjoy a lovely 2 days in gorgeous weather before everyone left.

As per the regular 'spring time with kids family schedule' we went to a local farm for some fun...the kids climbed on hay bales, went down tube slides, ran through corn mazes and rode horses...




It was fun...always is.

On Sunday, I took the kids on an early morning walk...in our jammies...which they loved...it somehow magically transformed an ordinary jaunt into an adventure in their cute little heads...


...as stop at Starbucks was of course necessary to give me a reason to be up and about with 3 kids at 7am;)


The fam jam and I also did some work around the house....our beautiful tree in the front has been blooming its ass off...


...and I managed to cut some branches for the indoors...


...prettiness.

And as for yesterday, I said bye to the man and large kid (insert sad/more than slightly jealous face) and went for another walk with the kids...


...and then joined our fabulous neighbours (@designinghollie) for a BBQ at their house....they were kind enough to take pity on me for being on my own and let me crash their family fun time...love them.

What else...

...on another 'not so happy/jealous of my travelling family' note, Jasper seemed to spend the weekend deciding that sleeping most of the day is sooooo April 2013...aka...he appears to be over that fun...thankfully, when he wakes up looking like this...


...it's hard to be too upset;)

On the other hand, I've been trying for days to get these shelves sorted {note that our white quartz is now on:}...


...and still don't know if I want to keep them or not.

I also didn't have time to paint the bathroom sconces {I've decided I'd like them mat black to tie in the shower door}...


So....cuteness aside, a little more napping would be swell...especially since I'm in single mom mode...I've got a seemingly never-ending list of shizzle I'd like to get done while there are a few less peeps in the house so please send over some 'baby...you know you want to have some long long naps' good thoughts my way:)

And while you are at it, please also pray that the N'espresso gods get my order here soon...it was supposed to arrive Saturday but there was a hiccup and I'm still coffee-less...I'm started to feel more than a little desperate for some Arpeggio action.
