Nursery Theme



The theme for Isaac's nursery is coming together. I found this alphabet/country wall-hanging at HomeGoods earlier this month. The "K" isn't for Korea, but I was thinking I could get something else for the walls to represent Korea--perhaps a Korean flag to frame or Isaac's name in Korean, etc. Anyway, my sister Robin was with me when I bought the canvas, and our next stop was the Orvis store. I actually stayed in the car with Kate while she and Steven (my BIL) ran in. She called me a few minutes later to tell me about the globe pillow. I went in to check it out, and ended up getting it. AND, when I was checking out, I found out it was on sale! Score!

I love the international theme! I think it fits perfectly with our family and situation. Reminds me of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" ... or as Kate might suggest ... "God's Great Big World," which is a Miss PattyCake video.

The quilt is from PBK, and I have had it for a while, actually. Also have the bumper. I am a sucker for madras, and I think it works well with the global theme, as this world is a patchwork of people and cultures. The little extra there is from blabla--not sure how I will use it just yet, but it is cute. Got it at the sample sale last year.

We still have a lot of work to do. We are planning to switch the kids' rooms--meaning, Kate's current room will be Isaac's room, and Kate will move into what is now the guest room. We have to paint, too. (Kate's current room is pink. Not sure exactly what color we'll go with--perhaps a light blue? The crib and dresser we have in there are black.)

Can't wait to see how it all comes together. We'll probably get started on it next month or the next.

  10. I, too, can't wait to see how it looks when it's finished! We're requesting a boy and I think the toughest part of this whole thing is trying to figure out how to do his room. All of our furniture is white...

    Anyway, it'll be fun living vicariously through you as you start this project! ;)
